    Gerald Green is scorching hot from 3 right now! Obviously he'll regress to his usual percentage after a while (which, judging by his career % is still a pretty solid at 36%) but hopefully he keeps it up against the Warriors and we blow them out :p

    Bottom Line: He didn't get it done. CP3 & James have a TON to prove.

    It WAS good to finally hold a team under 100.
    We may be a better D team without James, but we likely could have won by 40 WITH him in the lineup and healthy.
    Magic only average 104 per game. Also a garbage team. Not a great measuring stick.
    Time will tell over the next 10 games or so

    Man, that Orlando squad is dog s**t. How in the hell did they start 8-4?

    Orlando is so damn bad it's hard to take anything from this game, simply handled our business.

    Gerald Green is going to get the Green light on this team, probably more so than in any of his other previous stints in the NBA. He's embracing it. Again, perfect fit and hell of a signing by Morey.

    My loins are on fire thinking about all of our guys healthy and adding Green to the rotation

    LOL
    Josh Smith, 'The Clips Killer' and Corey Brewer tend to disagree.
    Seems I remember something about them going off in Game 6 and sending the Clips home?
    WITH CHRIS PAUL.

    But you say CP's Clips teams were better? WE believe you.
    But, their record indicates otherwise.

    How many WC finals did they play in? Oh yeah, ZERO!
    But they ARE better than any Harden Rox team, huh? On what planet would that apply?

    You're just going to wear down the rest of the team if you don't play him. So no. Terrible idea. Just keep these guys all playing balanced minutes.

    You're making my point, those Clipper teams UNDERACHIEVED, while being led by CP3. Folks dog Harden for being on the bench during the big comeback, but forget James closed the show in game 7. Then the Rox fell to the loaded Warriors.

    Can we all agree that James Harden and Chris Paul are on the same team? And that they are better together than apart?
