    You're looking at this the wrong way. We're playing for high draft picks. He has eked out dozens of losses.

    You do not need a star to win close games. Please stop making excuses for Silas. Its getting sickening. He's an idiot we all know it. Theres nothing we can do about it.

    1/4 isn't nearly good enough. 1/82 is still within reach.

    was the goal to add to our win total last year or this year?

    I'm pretty sure we're supposed to be developing the kids and collecting the lotto balls.

    Not really. You need chemistry and a good coach. Dream didn't close out every game. He had many teammates to help. Part of the reason when he was MVP he thanked his teammates as well.

    He had that gene in Dallas. Called Doncic

    Amazing how coaches with stars win games and look like geniuses and when they
    lose stars they look like morons.

    Green, Porter, Eric Gordon and Wood are not exactly stars closing out games.....not yet.

    Silas doesn't have time for this kind of silliness right now. He has to stick to the plan. The race is very close. We've got the Pelicans and Pistons breathing down our necks. If we deviate even just a little but we could end up like the Wolves last year.

    He always says “We need to learn to win”. I think he is considering himself as part of we.
