You know you're **** when jerami grant is suddenly your best player. **** Donovan, presti, and the whole **** team.

wouldn't it be great if we had a down to earth leader who could rally the team and help everyone sharpen their focus on both ends of the court? instead of a leader who is complicit in the emotional tirades and one-man-v.-the-world winning attitude?

This team is truly a joke. I'd even take the 3-29 season over this one. At least that team got their crap together, showed a lot of promise the second half of the season, and actually had a future.

So you're saying he's accepted his role?

Yeah, but I don't fault Nick too much.

Should we start talking draft picks again?

The paint is like quicksand for Russ on defense. As soon as his man runs through it, russ just gets stuck.

Possibly. Even though we have Russell Westbrook, Paul George, Steven Adams, and Carmelo Anthony, this team is so structurally flawed, that the loss of Andre Roberson makes us fall into complete ineptitude.

And the final dagger is Brook Lopez hitting a contested three-pointer.

The awful, awful Lakers just came to the Peake and beat us on normal rest. This isn't the second game of a back-to-back. This was as close to a "must win" as you can have in February. We need to prove that we aren't completely hopeless without Roberson, but ahome loss to the Lakers sure as heck sends that point home.

Melo is blaming refs for old age.

What an insanely horrible possession for Melo with a minute-ten remaining. Just hijacked the whole possession to get blocked on a jumper.

it's not just melo. his teammates and our coach is part of this. did you hear PG talk about melo today? like he's still an all-star. they think he's good, and has some powers to make those shots especially during fourth quarters.

All I learned today is Randle eating Melo's lunch and Russ seeming like one of few guys who cares a little. Oh and whenever Ferguson is on court everything goes to poo.

Also this is to the few who said at least the offense would improve w/o Dre.
