    Right, I think so. Mike is being stubborn.

    When House plays good, our whole team functions properly, I cannot stress enough how important the forward position is for our team.

    I have no idea what problems Dallas has. I don’t watch them.

    That's not true. Our starting 5 only allowed 14 of Portland's 125 pts on us and Clint was part of that defense. They only allowed 2 pts in the first 4 minutes. Once House, McLemore and the rest started subbing in our defense went downhill, and Portland started the scoring runs.

    I'm not debating the forward position isn't important. In fact, I think it is the key position we need to upgrade this week!

    We will get destroyed between Ingram and Zion wrecking us and owning us on the boards Ball will probably go off like he did last game on us

    Yeah 5-7 mins we aren’t going to lose much, PJ hasn’t given us much offensively for the last 6/8 weeks I can believe Hart wouldn’t give us a rebound advantage and a dunk or bunny or two on PnR with Westy. Hard to believe he can’t get 5 mins to ease PJs load a bit and at least give us some height/ rim threat for a short blow.

    Russ handling the ball while Harden plays off ball has probably left our corner shooters as wide open as they've ever been.

    I don't have any WC 1st seed aspirations at this point.
    Not the way we've been playing as of late.
    And THAT's why we should rejoice in every win. But whiners gonna whine

    SO tired of this narrative.
    When Curry and Thompson come from behind or hang tough and seal a close game
    I NEVER hear anyone say "They sure bailed out Coach Kerr"
    Or Lebron and Davis hanging tough to win a close game "wow, Vogel sucks, but good thing he has LBJ and AD"

    But on ClutchFans, it's ALWAYS the coach's fault isn't it?
    We lose and it's obvious "D'Antoni sucks and doesn't know what he's doing"
    And when we WIN "D'Antoni sucks. Good think we have have superstars than can win games"

    GSW was the belle of the ball playing small ball a couple of years ago.
    But, when we win that way it's torches and pitchforks.
    The same whiners were even complaining when we beat Utah the other night with small ball.

    "Two men look out through the selfsame bars.
    One sees the mud, the other stars"

    Some only see what they WANT to see

    I’d settle for anybody under 32 and over 6’10 at this point. I’m really not that picky

    If iHart is really not good enough to play 5 NBA minutes a night then he doesn’t need to be on an NBA roster. Literally just clogging up a spot.

    Golden State has 2 championships to back up their “small ball”. And even when they went “small” they had a 6’11” freak of nature on the court. Even then, they still played traditional 7 foot players at certain points during the game. They did a fantastic job of finding multiple young mobile bigs.

    Would have been a significant loss if we lost

    what if they are keeping him off of the court to keep him off of the trade talks?
