    It is not happening this year. MDa is running everyone into the ground and still loses games. Hartentein was a +39 in a game and gets no minutes. Tyson is a non factor and still gets the nod over him. Clemons, Frazier and that one dude in the G-League that shoots shots, need to play because House and BMac are not good.

    MDA is in sabotage mode.

    Luis Scola at the FT line extended is the answer - or someone like that....but we are so stuck in our 3s or die mentality.......

    That mentality and lack of versatility is part of the problem.

    I’m watching these games for free, and I’m overpaying.

    Lakers have all those bargain contracts meanwhile we pay our players like we're a small market team desperately trying to make the playoffs.

    This team ain't going anywhere fellas. Our draft picks are shot, we have no cap room, Harden is broken and can't seem to play well unless he's scoring 50. Probably should've kept CP3 and just hoped he could actually stay healthy a full year. Oh well. I'm sure Tillman is making money off of us and doesn't give a damn....

    Did you ask the question to Tilman’s accountant?

    If you haven’t started panicking yet, now might be the time.

    It's mind-blogging that we literally only started double teaming Lebron till the last 2 minutes of the game when we should have been doing it in the whole of the 2nd half.

    If they're going to stop our best player from doing what he wants, we should stop their best player doing what he wants. And that's the sign of a terrible coach right there.

    Our $18 MILLION dollar a year center gave us 8 points on 9 shots, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 turnovers and 3 assists in 33 minutes of play.

    Every notice Jeff B use to actually coach off the bench and direct guys every play. I haven’t seen Turner leave his seat

    I wish there were other people who were "done" too.

    I'm not a call for the coach to be fired kind of guy but...

    Hartenstein not getting minutes is troubling.

    I think at some point with how House is playing you have to do something else, at least to send the guy a message. Throw in Frazier, throw in Clemons, just send this man a message that he can be replaced.

    We just don’t have a good enough roster. New Fs needed real bad and real soon.

    If you support this team you're an idiot.
