    Tank Commander Cousins is doing his part. Godspeed.

    Who's more washed, Cousins or Blake Griffin.

    Honestly we are about the same level of a team as detroit, they are just somehow even more sloppy than we are

    Why dont we try to get Mason Jones some shots. He is our best shooter right now and yet he comes out there to see Gordon and Dipo go 1on1. It makes no sense.

    I'm mostly positive on silas because he hasn't had an easy start but that is just dumb.

    The way he's playing, he's Tank Admiral. Or General or whatever the highest rank is.

    I think Cousins is the first person I've ever seen that doesnt leave the floor when he jumps

    Dipo needs to take over the second half

    Boogie is done y'all. He might have been great as a Nene playing a few minutes in playoffs but this isn't a contending team at all. If we could forfeit the season I would. We are shooting for the number 1 pick in draft at this point.

    I feel bad for him. He has no lift and his face up game is dead because he does not have the speed to get by anyone. We should play kurucs.

    The Rockets just need to cut down on the turnovers and defend. The Pistons will not “win” this game. Just let them lose it.

    Maybe we should just play dwarf ball and keep fast breaking. Our half court sets look terrible

    Cousins is waaay out of sink. Understandably I guess but he can't make a hook shot 3' from the basket against a player 3" shorter. He's losing the ball damn near every time under the basket on offense and can barely make a 3PT.

    Still early in the season though, so we'll see how he progresses.

    If we're banking on Dipo then we need to dream on. He is an expiring contract so trade him for picks or let him just expire.

    Man Cousins and Dipo trying to make it a two-man show was awful. Gordon mixed in. It only works if Cousins is there to pass and Dipo needs to look up, freaking selfish dude. I am ready to ship all these veterans out or bench them.

    Back in 2018 I legitimately thought that if Cousins played the series against Houston we would’ve won. Dude always been a liability in the pick n roll and I thought harden and cp3 couldve abuse him substantially that series
