I agree and get tougher players. We sign the softest players like frye and Watson


Good point, but it needs to be taught by rewarding the guys that actually play hard, which we don't do.

I just knew your silly billy ass would bring up an anomaly. Grow your list outside of them since it works so well. Your rebuttal is weak.


Your premise is that because of where a player is born they can't be a winner in the NBA. Ignore Vuc or Evan, it's a blanket statement on all Euros ever. Like all blanket statements it's dumb. The fact there is an active exception despite not being all that many Euros even in the league just drives that point home even further. Add to that you KNEW all of this and still posted it? Well, trolls gotta troll I guess?


I know you defend Vuc but he doesn't play winning basketball. No defense and doesn't draw enough fouls for the number of times he touches the ball, because he's shoots so many mid range shots, where he averages 45%.

A foul was inevitable there. Smith and Len had been wrestling for that entire possession.
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.

What, you mean you can pass to players other than Vucevic and Fournier? And they're actually good at basketball???

I think this game tells you all you need to know about the heart and make-up of this team. It will be blown up this summer.

They haven't been this close to the playoffs in the Hennigan era, they have a must-win home game against a 15-46 team before a west coast trip -- and play like this.

Smith is playing as hard as he can, he is just getting the wrong end of some bad officiating. Can't blame him.

The guys who play hard on our team are mostly bad at basketball for the most part.
