Last time a underachieving western conference team lost to us, they fired their coach ( Memphis) . Will we see history repeat itself?

these dudes man. all of them work so hard and they actually enjoy being around each other.

win or lose, i'll take this any day over Deron Williams and Joe Johnson acting like it was a chore to have to play basketball for millions of dollars. this is easily my favorite group since the Kidd/VC days.

we are 10-14 and it's December 8th. We're keeping pace :nod:

and DLoading and Okafor will be added to the mix.

Agreed... and this is why im so hard on people who criticize atkinson for letting these guys play through struggles. LEvert never sulked or got down on himself and alot of that is because the staff showed unwavering confidence in him and let him play.

also... I LOVE the Levert/Crabbe/Harris lineups... gives levert room to work with the ball and space for him and allen to run pick and roll. when russell comes back i like that bench groupL levert/harris/crabbe/allen

March 1st, we beat the Kings 109-100 to hit 10-49 on the season.

I think its clear the shift to move away from lopez is the right one.... i said all last year we need to invest the money in gaurds and move the scoring load to the gaurds. to be fair to lopez, we have more talent now and young guys are a year older, but i dont think we miss brook much... it was a needed move. even without russell you can see how well this team plays in an up and down smallish ball system

It’s also the mental aspect of knowing Lopez is no longer here. Brook is doing well in LA but he just can’t sustain the pace they want at a high volume of minutes, points.

Lopez is a victim of playing in the wrong era.

I thoroughly enjoyed this game. So glad I didn’t stop watching when he Nets we’re down big. LeVert>Westbrook, at least in this game.
