I called it about AD going off. That kid is just so good. Front runner in my mind to eventually replace Lebron as best player in the world. Anyways our rotations are screwed up.

eh, rotations dont matter when the players you are subbing in suck too. this team just has no talent really. hopefully we go for a high draft pick and consider trading pau, because it should be blatantly obvious that most of the guys have no future on this team. i doubt we make the playoffs, let alone make any noise in them, a 35 year old kobe isnt changing that.

got his head split open. He played less than 15 vs james Flopper. Looked like a guy pressing today vs his old team, which happens. There will be growing pains for everyone involved. Wes becoming a 4, Young in and out the starters, Henry playing, Farmar getting more responsibility, Hill being relied on, Kaman having less minutes ...

I have no proof of this but I still think the main reason Kaman and Hill see limited minutes is due to their injury histories. Neither player has been very durable throughout their careers and it looks like MDA doesn't want to run them into the ground.

We'll never see 2009 Pau again but the way our team is made up I think we'd be very competitive if that Pau miraculously reappeared.

I don't know if there's much he can do about that anyway since as soon as he posts up an infant could push him away from the paint.

Pau has to play better than he has for this team to do anything this season..

Afraid he looks done at this point... well for the past few seasons he has but now it seems less likely he can turn it around. I thought it was injuries but he just looks old.
