wow, pretty surprised by how good the team is looking. Kind of makes me think they actually have some pride and were not happy about getting blown out the other night.

Was it a good pass? No. Is KOQ usually a very good outlet passer? Yes. That was a (Please Use More Appropriate Word) hook. Willie Green's sitting pretty with a 5.1 PER as our backup SF, but he's above the law. Meanwhile, KOQ's getting the hook for one bad pass that didn't even result in a turnover.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Frye just turned his back to his man Bogut 3 feet from the rim. That's horrible.
