I see what everyone else sees, I just choose to focus on the positive rather than the negative. You do you man.


If Russ had taken the easy layup in transition, against Drummond, instead of the contested 3, we win. Every play means something, and Russ was trash tonight. Don't even care about the triple double.


Go make the Russ sucks, Donovan sucks, the team sucks, argument with someone else, there are plenty of members of that echo chamber on this board. I’m not wasting my time with that nonsense.

Lol. If Russ was trash Melo and George were nuclear waste.

Positive and negative is overrated. Truth is more important. This team has issues, it’s not the beginning of the season and we are don’t exactly have a secure future locked up.

I let the Warriors suck me back into watching part of another game.

I didn’t say anything about giving up but how long can we act like the issues this teams faces are no big deal because it’s still early?

I didn’t say the problems are no big deal, but we have dissected them like the goddam Zapruder film. I’m looking at what they are doing well,and they are doing some things very well. They just can’t sustain those things right now. There are plenty of games and plenty of time left. This was an all or nothing season, if it doesn’t work, you go back to the drawing board. I’m fine with that, they tried something bold and I’m going to ride it out with them.
