    What does it mean when the youngest rotation in the league is significantly outperforming expectations?

    Imagine some people are sad about that and hope that they start failing more.

    OKC drafted a dynasty but gave it away (Durant/WB/Harden) and Warriors drafted a dynasty. We're going to be in that mould. If we lose a shot at the top pick, it means something amazing happened with a roster that was universally expected to finish last in the NBA.

    The Spurs are the only team in a very long time where I am unable to name a single player on the team. Like none.

    whichever team lands the #1 pick next year it won’t be luck b/c the evidence of rigged lotteries back in the zion draft is far too convincing

    Why would NBA rig the draft in favor of no name New Orleans over freaking New York Knicks?

    If anything it shows the lottery aint rigged. This is as dumb as the people who said the NBA rigged it so Duncan SAS would win over Nash Suns.

    I think that Tate and hopefully Nix are gone in January when Jae'Sean is eligible for a Jordan Clarkson trade

    Maybe we can steal a Coby White & Caruso from Chicago since the Zach LaVine experiment has failed

    Eric Gordon to the Suns in some 3-way where we end up with a pick

    Brandon Miller would be our target in the
    3 -7 range

    I think we're stuck with KPJ for better or worse unless we throw a truckload of money at Fred VanVleet

    I like our team and how the guys are developing.

    Kpj(or FA)/Clarkson
    Green / Jaygup
    KJ / B.Miller
    Bari / Tari
    Sengun / Fernando / Garuba

    I'm excited bout my team. I also can be cursing Silas if we lose to the Spurs Thursday. Either way I'm hopeful

    Are we learning or are we just doing? There’s a difference.

    If we are learning, are we learning as a team or just individually? There’s a difference.

    For each question, I think it is some of both but I also think we’d be more skewed to the positive answers with a better coach.

    Lets just call it staged then, or Shakespearean since we know entertainment is a stage show and those so called analyst are always yapping about athletes performing on the big stage

    That old Lakers / Kings series was fishy just as that Ewing draft was suspect

    Even a boxing ref came out recently and said it gave that boxer Manny a long 20 count(paraphrasing) to get up because he was told behind the scenes that Manny was set up for big payday next fight so he must win at all costs

    Sports is somewhat staged, its why they call it entertainment and its tied to Hollywood snuff films etc, not saying its on the scripted level of WWE but they are both members of the same club just diff branches

    Not trying to convince you or nobody else, just speaking about what they put out there publicly

    Even that rogue NBA ref who did jail time basically said the games are rigged (controlled), some refs were even former CIA members

    Even NCAA athletes have talked about shaving points

    Its too much info to act like its not possible, too much smoke not to be some level of fire, it is what it be

    Ok? But the other dude said it was convincing that the NBA is rigged cuz the no name Pelicans got the most coveted rookie since Lebron over the biggest franchise in the NBA which makes zero sense. Maybe other events are rigged but Pelicans winning top pick over the Knicks def aint rigged otherwise Knicks would get it.

    Why would NBA actively rig against their no 1 most valuable franchise? Makes zero sense.
