    Scrub team or not a win is a win.

    It always feels good beating GS as well, with our recent playoff history they're like the new Utah to me. Good job

    Can we continue to upgrade in buyout market? This year does not have KD, Thompson and Curry, We must use this chances to get champion.

    Gober might not go too easy in the paint this time!

    Gober got shafted last season out of all star selection.

    Westbrook just finds people man.
    The half court lob to green, man!
    Westbrook even made Steve Adams look good at okc.

    Westbrook made nerlen Noel in okc look good!

    Man Practices are going to be the real deal our team is winning the chip. The Utah Payback game will be the barometer on how good this team is.

    My observations are that we are no longer dependent on Harden’s stepback 3’s and Russ’ scoring.

    Robert looks great out there. Jeff Green should be signed up for the rest of the season. House is not suffering from Robert’s addition and Rivers is playing the right way by bringing up the ball and passing. Ben is still fitting in even with the multiple additions.

    DeMarre will get better with time. Hopefully Eric will be back healthy soon. We do lack a true 5 though.

    A younger Tyson Chandler would have done wonders...

    Is trying to get a new team
    Another man's junk, somebody's treasure? Don't we usually pay a premium for customized parts? Can't he turn into a JSmith too?

    Wow! That was a nice win right off the long break. Green looked ready to contribute, Carroll was tough and Caboclo is almost comically long.

    The Rockets look ready to make a surge! I’m looking forward to seeing the guys playing hard and smacking the Jazz in the mouth!!

    I honestly don't think a younger Chandler would play on this team. We have fully committed to playing gaurds and wings only imo. The amount of steals and deflections that we are getting is unbelievable. We give up rim protection but the amount of turnovers that we are creating makes it worth it.

    If Green can stay consistent he will probably be our back up 5. PJ and Green at the 5 with Covington and Carroll at the 4 is almost perfect for a MDA small ball lineup. They can disrupt opposing front courts with their length and active hands. They can rebound, they compete for and win 50/50 balls, and they bring some more dog to the team which we have missed since the 17-18 season. We have a little more edge now.

    This is my long way of saying that I think we have enough for this year. I haven't been this hopeful since we eon 65 games. Our wings were vital to that team, and I think that our new set of wings could be even better.

    I'm really starting to believe. I'm all in with Morey and MDA with this group.

    Yes, Tyson and Harty have no place on this team. Great guys, they would be contributors another teams just not ours.

    Still want to add 6'10 Jonah Bolden, 6'6 Justin Anderson and 6'7 Ryan Broekhoff if possible.

    Cannot shoot 3. Would not be able to play with Russ.

    We now run a 5 out offense and switch everything defense, he is not efficient in either.

    99% of traditional 5's do fit in our new system.

    Does not mean not good player, just not a fit. Just like Shaq was horrible fit on 7 seconds or less Suns.

    He fits with Harden though, I would run him in strictly Harden lineups, hes also amazing defensively as well. He doesnt have to finish games for us.

    Everyone not named Westbrook has to be able to stretch the floor. That's the only way this works. Chandler wouldn't fit. We have gone full D'Antoni lol.
