Can we not have a mildly-competitive game when we lose?

This team is hard to watch tonight. Horrible turnovers, can't get a freakin' rebound. Just so much sulking and a lack of fire when things go wrong.

To me, we are officially starting to get out of "its early and they're still gelling." I know it is still early, but ugh

I'm ready to trade PG. He just doesn't play with heart like a super star is supposed to. He's given up on this season already. Get some young pieces, draft picks, and lets start over with Turner.

Words can not describe how awful our bench is.
6 rebounds, 1 assist, 5 turnovers, 6 points

And how on earth can you give up that much rebounds to a team that has played last night?

In a way I feel sorry for PG having to play with certain players, but Lebron would never allow such poor effort from his teammates.

If I was George I'd demand Bird brings him in a 2nd star.

Can't say I disagree. When your only piece of value is a young center though, we talking about the Cousinses and Whitesides of this world.

That's kind of easier said than done. Fans of nearly every team in the league think "add a superstar to the team" would be the quick fix to all their troubles, and unfortunately they're not so numerous that teams that have them are just looking to toss them away for cookie crumbs. But PG has had it a lot better here than a fair amount of stars have. Much better than Anthony Davis, DMC, Wolves-era Kevin Love, John Wall, even Jimmy Butler didn't play in the post-season last year.

True. I assume you may have to put Turner out there.
