It's the retching. Captures us perfectly.

You're a funny man, Stephen (as is Rex Chapman). No doubt about it. I appreciate your good work!

 

[Sluggah]

This is the team that had to turn up their tanking efforts to 11 in order to lose to us last time, yeah?

Should be epic.

Was reading the Kings-Pistons Preview on another site (that shall remain nameless) and saw that the Pistons were busy at the Trade Deadline. Here’s the lineup (gulp):
Pistons (15-36): Jrue Holiday, Donte DiVincenzo, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez

One of the wins in our epic 7 out of ___ streak was an almost healthy team having to try their hardest to beat the worst team in the league who was actively trying to throw the game. And people didn’t buy into the “This streak is a mirage y’all” talk.

It's the retching. Captures us perfectly.

Capturing us perfectly would be trying it again after the retching

Why do we lose lots of games? Because our bench gets massively outscored. Move Ty to bench --> bench scoring goes up --> profit. If insufficient, move Fox to bench --> profit even more.

Makes sense.

making it real easy for me to pivot to baseball

 

[dude12]

My sources say that Mo Harkless is replacing Halliburton in the lineup

They did need to make a change, but for more rebounding. Dont see Mo being that much better than Hali in the starting unit.

 

[SacTownKid]

From nearly out of the league to starting. Yep.

 

[SacTownKid]

I like how he waits to adjust right when he does battle with coach Tanksey again.

 

[Tetsujin]

Whatever this is, it's not basketball

 

[Sluggah]

Luke dipping into his dad’s stash I guess.

 

[Tetsujin]

"You know how we have two of the best pick and roll guards in the league and an elite pick and roll finisher? Let's not use that." -Luke Walton coming up with his gameplan.

 

[SacTownKid]

Walton desperate already. He's gone with the Barnes at center lineup already. Interesting call.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

From nearly out of the league to starting. Yep.

Are we talking about Harkless, or CoJo?

 

[dude12]

So Barnes playing center already?

 

[SacTownKid]

Are we talking about Harkless, or CoJo?

Difference is both teams are fighting for two different things and likely getting the same thing at the end, haha.

 

[SacTownKid]

So Barnes playing center already?

Truthfully, I say what the heck. He's probably the only one with the strength to fight through Stewarts screens.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

It's strange to hear Dennis Smith referred to as a "former first round pick" when everybody on the floor but Metu meets that criterion.

 

[Tetsujin]

It's not too late to send Arizona your resume, Luke

 

[SacTownKid]

Considering Detroit is sitting Grant and throwing Cojo in order to keep their tank on the tracks this should be breaking open in any minute right?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

What vision from Hali!

 

[Tetsujin]

Poor Killian Hayes is gonna get compared to Tyrese for the rest of his life.

 

[dude12]

We just don’t look good
