    Lebron is either saving his energy or sucks balls now. It's easy to guard him now, just play zone

    There’s a reason MCW was available and Ennis is not a starter. Jeff B biggest loss of half season.

    I really think we need another dependable big man. I wish we could try Taj Gibson from the wolves. This dumb small ball line up is not going to cut it.

    at least our stars came to play, and melo has played an impressive floor game particularly on the boards

    but capela disappointing yet again. homey can't get a rebound or contest a shot. he looks so slow and grounded. the swiss princess got fat off that paycheck

    ennis looks like he should be coming off the bench or even be sitting at the end of the bench

    mcw looks like he doesn't belong in this league. frankly i cannot remember ever watching a player on an nba court as basketball stupid as this guy. dude has zero court sense

    Cause his defense is generally laughable at best and cringey at worst unless he is playing post defense, he literally loses cutters to the hoop numerous times a game. He did wake up on Offense finally only took him 5 qtrs.

    LBJ is coasting. Expect him to crank it up in the 2nd.

    They’re an old team but it’s not like they’ve lost a step athletically, they’re just playing lazy.

    I think it’s just hard to have that same driven focus and motivation as last year when they were so close to winning it all.

    No....they aren't. 66 is greater than 63.

    Beadle so annoying. “Are these two great teams or mediocre teams”

    You do realize we’re in our second game of the season.

    Now we know why Hornets fans were celebrating when they found out he wouldn't be back. I just believe how horrible MCW is. And no one even guards him!!!!

    Fun first half. But glaring holes. Still recommending Anthony start and find a replacement for Tucker.
