    this was way more fun than the Clippers game, or the Lakers game for that matter.

    I believe this is exactly what Astros fans said between 2011-2014

    I go off the EYE TEST. Who do you think had the better game, Sengun or Williams?

    That is your life's high-water mark. I can imagine how much you suffer in your life. Even to be insulted is a joy for you because no one cares you.

    Williams defended by Garuba mostly. Do u know height differences between two? It's a coach mistake.

    I'm on the other end of the spectrum. I don't mind paying dues.

    Perhaps it is because I knew going in this would be a minimum 3 year process.
    And honestly I find a full rebuild far more exciting than the prospect of being mired in a half decade of mediocrity just to win 45 games and an 8th seed by overpaying guys like Wall, LeVert and Allen.

    My low point was the 2020 playoffs (the misery which some fans seem to have forgotten).
    To me everything after that has been decidedly optimistic.

    We badly need a veteran leader. Eric Gordon isn't that kind of guy

    if you want to learn how to yell "HEY", after every shot attempt........then he is the guy you are looking for

    height doesn't have much to do with it. If you have great footwork and instincts, you can make up for being shorter

    I guess Stone's halftime speech wasn't enough to pull them through. Probably too many uh-uh-uhs.

    You are comparing a player with 14 seasons in this league with two who do not have their second full season.
    This team has very few defensive players, this team loses consistently no matter who plays.

    18 minutes.....8-10.....6 rebs.....5 blks.....17 pts vs your hero.

    Don't need to run plays for him and he protects the rim and rebound.

    Smart is smart......and then there is your dumb@$$

    We needed defense! Charlotte had 75pts in the paint...75pts! I'm not against Sengun, I think there's a role for a player like him but starting centers don't get manhandled like that in the paint.

    Come on man. Garuba is 6'8" Williams is 7'1" Coach had to match up him with Bruno, not Garuba.
