    Capela is this dominant without a shot. He adds a shot of any variety we’re gonna be extremely hard to beat. Lil baby hook...floater....free throw....

    His FT issues this season were really starting to annoy me. Thanks for posting that stat. Glad he is getting more in rhythm on those.

    In games, it is those things "at the margins" that can be a big deal.

    LOVED that. Getting multiple playmakers involved will pay off big down the road. Need to diversify and balance the load

    Good game all around, everyone contributed. MDA and the coaching staff took a minute but they got this 9 man rotation looking solid and set. Nene can alternate with Hart when he gets back but that's the extent of our depth have fully written off everyone else 11-16.

    Harden, Green, and Hartenstein's defense was awesome if that level is our worst defensive player ever on the court and the guy to attack they will win alot of games.

    End of day MeloDrama, Ariza/ Mbah a moute narrative, Ennis/Gordon/Green on and off nights.. When Harden, CP3, and Capela all play well it's a win everytime.

    Need to trade Chriss and bring Bruno back. Hartenstein is not good enough to back up Clint or worse, start, if Clint suould go down.

    Nene is specialty player only if he ever gets 100%.

    Valid point. I had to record a cover of that song so it is a sore spot and very personal. I’d rather listen to “Bald Headed Hoes.”

    How is this embarrasssing


    I get down for my grandfather who took my mama
    Made her sit in that seat where white folks ain't want us to eat
    At the tender age of 6 she was arrested for the sit-ins
    And with that in my blood I was born to be different
    Now *****s can't make it to ballots to choose leadership
    But we can make it to Jacob's and to the dealership
    That's why I hear new music and I just don't be feelin' it
    Racism's still alive, they just be concealin' it
    But I know they don't want me in the damn club
    They even made me show ID to get inside of Sam's Club
    I done did dirt and went to church to get my hands scrubbed
    Swear I've been baptized 'least three or four times
    But in the land where *****s praise Yukons and getting paid
    It's gonna take a lot more than coupons to get us saved
    Like it take a lot more than doo rags to get you waves
    Nothing sad as that day my girl's father passed away
    So I promised to Mr. Rainey I'm gonna marry your daughter
    And you know I gotta thank you for the way that she was brought up
    And I know that you were smiling when you see the car I bought her
    You sent tears from heaven when you seen my car get balled up
    But I can't complain what the accident did to my left eye
    Cause look what an accident did to Left Eye
    First Aaliyah now Romeo must die
    I know I got angels watching me from the other side

    You are a homer.

    But......I am convinced that a HEALTHY Chris Paul is a better player than Steph Curry. Paul brings so much to the table defensively. And he's got as much basketball iq as any player I've seen since Magic and Bird. Even at his age, if he's healthy he's better than Curry.

    Idk, I think Harden is a better offensive player than Durant. At the very least, he's a more complete one. I dont think anyone who can carry a team like Harden except Lebron. Durant cant do that.

    Bruno has 3/D tools as a backup 4, but he is soft. Hartenstein is slower than him, but he is a harder worker. I do agree that Chriss needs to be moved, but unless he plays well in a string of games, his trade value will remain low.

    Bruno is back up small ball 5. PJ plays too many minutes already and no one behind him.

    Clint primary back up is not on roster.

    You're right that our position is not ideal. Bruno isn't that guy though. Morey said he was ready. I'm paraphrasing this here. He realized he wasn't, and sent him to the G-League. Look at Gary Clark for comparison. His smarts, hard work and mental toughness makes him better than Bruno, even as a potential small ball 5.
