    Truth! We need to get threats in those positions in todays nba. Ariza is not versatile enough, Anderson is not versatile at all and Capela is too weak.

    The amount of fouls we are commiting this season is on a bad trend right now and the 3pt shooting is even worse. Alot of good teams have a PF or even a SF who can play as a point forward but outside of Harden or Paul we have no legit playmakers.

    I am not going to panic after 8 games into the season considering despite Paul not being on the floor we are still 5-3 BUT FOR THOSE SLEEPING on the Knicks for the next game they better think again even they look like they have improved. The league is not as one sided as it was cracked up to be so every win this season will count.

    I know I will get a lot of heat for saying this. But I think if CP3 gets acclimated here and thrives, we should explore possibility to trade Gordon for a tweener and depth. We don't have many options when it comes to trade and Gordon is the only attractive asset that we have.

    We’ve beat philly 100 straight times they were eventually going to win one. They were super motivated after Eric Gordon’s GW.

    Gordon for Tobias? He’s lowkey playing as well as Gordon is right now, but he’s doing it at a position that we’re weakest at.

    I just have my doubts that Tobias could keep up his level of play, but I’m also scared that Gordon might get injured with all the driving that he’s been doing...he lands pretty violently at times when he drives in

    I think the whole league is adjusting to the early start to the season. Traditional non playoff teams i.e. Knicks, pistons, magic, 76ers are benefiting from this while playoff teams are still in preseason mode. Let's judge this team by Nov end.

    lol, so they finally figured it out after 5 years and over 200 games huh...nah, the league sent down their orders and the Harden Rule will be enforced and upheld...the NBA would be made to look like fools if they couldn’t stop the player that caused them to make these rules from going to the line 10+ times every night...they will make sure that doesn’t happen by any means necessary

    And we need him to run the offense a lot of the time. Not sure how much but he shouldn't be off the ball too much

    Ryan Anderson is garbage at home - 100% trash.

    M. Moute has nice footwork/ touch around the basket. I'm impressed.

    As a team- we need to find our 3 pt stroke

    We need CP3 back

    We seem to be winging it out there
