    Rockets still don't want him either and the Lakers will go back to burying him on the bench.

    You could smell this one coming. Last few games we have laid stink pickles out of the gate and turned it on at the end. Tried again tonight and took it on the chin. Paul's injury is concerning. Having Paul run the second unit is what makes us elite. Him being out for a few weeks (if that is the case) blows. OKC, Boston, Washington, Golden State. All these a**holes coming up. Figures we get them when we are not at full strength.

    This is the highlight of Brewers season. Now he can go back to his irrelevant 2.5 ppg self.

    No rest. Mike will run him (and Ariza) into the ground.

    The inevitable posts in February, March and/or April will come on Ariza.

    "Man, Trevor is really struggling out there."
    "Man, I wouldn't mind starting Tucker or Luc for Trevor."
    "We can let Ariza go. Age has finally caught up to him & I don't mind moving on."

    Rockets were getting complacent - with all those slow starts and thinking you can just turn it on in the 4th qtr. They played with fire and now they lost.

    With the schedule getting tougher, it's very possible they drop a few more games and lose their mental groove they were in. This is the real test. How does a team deal with set backs. Do they roll over and die, or can the other guys still maintain winning ways.

    Of course.....OF COURSE the injuries pile up right as we're about to enter a really important stretch of the schedule.

    Warriors rest 5 key players, and they still play 10 players rotation. Wow...

    The Lakers would not have won if we were healthy. It's terrible to see all these injuries. Nevertheless, a defeat should be a wake up call from complacency.

    Rest James now. Get well quickly Chris and Luc. Morey should try to improve the bench. Trade Tarik plus a second round pick/ Jackson.

    What’s probably the most annoying about him is that he contributes a lot more when his shot is falling. Which in itsself is great, but when it isn’t falling he isn’t even getting rebounds. Basically very valuable when shooting well and complete garbage when not

    One thing I haven't liked about this roster is we don't have a single young G/F that we can look forward to as a young, up and coming talent to get excited about. The last one we had was I guess Chandler Parsons? Even the Warriors and their stacked roster have a few young players they give some minutes to. D'Antoni won't play any of our young players. Before he got hurt, Troy Williams wasn't getting much time at all.
