They're quite literally killing me. Postseason baseball is just too much, man!

Killing me worse, I’m watching every game with 2 Red Sox fans...no Astros fans in North Carolina

Oh Jesus God no...sending you a case of Tito's immediately.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

That effort was absolutely sickening. They didn't communicate on switches, continuously tried stupid doubles, didn't attack the glass, and just overall didn't try hard.
Literally no one played well. They all sucked. PJ shot the ball well but even his defense sucked. How do you start the season that poor.

He was bad but blaming him for the entire team being absolutely garbage is ridiculous. He doesn't have that kind of impact lol

What drives me crazy is Mike D'antoni's lack of adjustments... its the same thing that got him fired in Phoenix

We had a huge makeover this offseason and if were to lose some games, I'd say that it's better to lose early in the season and identify the problems sooner than later. I am not fazed one bit. Also Anthony Davis is a Top 3 player and very few teams will slow him down.
