Would've loved KD or Booker, personally


KD would waste all the assets for a guy who only has a couple of years left. Booker wasn't even available.

Would barely have made a dent in the assets. The organization told us they aren't serious about winning this year. They're just playing the long game. I'm not saying it's the wrong strategy, but it's the reality.

This freaking organization has had 4 straight top 4 picks in the draft and it doesn't look like they will get a true number 1 superstar out of any of them. The timberwolves have had 1 top 10 pick in the last 8 years and it's Anthony Edwards.

Up until the last week they were doing very well in clutch situations/games, but that was almost entirely on their defense. Just can't keep up, if the defense isn't up to snuff and it hasn't been lately.

Unless it's the first pick you know it's not easy to get a superstar right? And amen is looking like he may get there sooner rather than later. We tried to tank and could never get the number 1 pick. No Cade no wemby no paoblo.

Need VanVleet in the line-up to cancel out Jalen Green's stupidity.

Jalen is a walking turn over.

The collapses are what they are. It's why I don't have expectations in the playoffs. This team is 20-23 years old. Amen is in his 2nd year.

They have to grow and learn. They don't have another gear yet let Ant and more experienced teams do. These are really talented college kids that have to go thru the fire.

It's frustrating but necessary.

Yep, agreed.

Tough stretches are bound to happen with any team, and the youth factor increases it a bit.

Just learn my dudes. Learn, learn, learn.

Should definitely help with the killer instinct in the 4th quarter.

Why? We need shooters. And Amen is already better than him.
These gross 4th quarters show the leadership FVV brings when he's on the court. And that we need someone to step up

That is a great write up and agree with everything you said.

before these 5 losses, people on this thread were talking about betting on the rockets to win the championship and the odds were bad.

I think everyone needs to strep back and realize how good it looks for the next 5 years.

We are going to be really good.

Ben Simmons signs with LA as the Clippers continue building an incredible roster if it was still 2019.

36 year old Nicolas Batum
32 year old Bogdan Bogdanovic
35 year old James harden
33 year old Kwahi Leonard
36 year old Patty Mills
31 year old Norman Powell
Ben Simmons who last played more than 60 games in a season in 2018-2019.

Miserable start in Dallas. Not even trying to guard AD.

This team needs more than just the ASB

I'm here at the game and I've seen better 8U games than this one.

Team's best 4th quarter in ages. 35-19 final 12.

Sheppard gave some energy to start the 4th - 5 points and a steal.

Also, Luka and LeBron down 18 going to the 4th at Utah after allowing the 12-40 Jazz to score 40 in the third quarter

Standings update: Team is 34-20 and sitting 4th in the West, 2 games behind #2 Memphis, 1.5 behind surging #3 Denver, and just 1 ahead of #5 LA Lakers.

Really need to get back up a slot or 2 over the the last 28 games here. A first-round matchup vs. LeBron and Luka will make the Texans' game vs. the Chiefs and the refs feel like a day at the beach.

That is a really good spot to be in considering the last 2 weeks we've had. Now lets beat GS tonight and go into the ASB with some momentum.
