Michael Porter is another one I wanted us to get. We could have had him at #10.

I said over and over that we should target Julius Randle at power forward. Now look at him. He's frickin' all-NBA.
Me too. I keep thinking about it. Imagine if we had Randle at PF with the same rest of the lineup.
Randle was always capable of this, he just has a coach who was willing to give him the ball and play thru him now. I don't know how well he would've fit in here, with this roster, in this system and not having the ball in his hands every possession.

Philly only traded that pick to us after they saw that Zhaire Smith fell to 16. MPJ went 14, so I don’t think we could have gotten him at 10. I believe we did have a trade lined up to take SGA at 11, so we could have had him there. While I think Porter is great, I’m very pleased with Bridges and would have preferred SGA to Porter anyways.

It's hard to believe he still is only 26.
If you didn't tell me that i would have guessed 29 or 30.

Chicago is 6-11 with Nikola Vucevic.
has it been a crazy tough stretch of playing great teams? I just didn't see that coming.

We assume that putting two highly skilled offensive guys together will have positive results, but it's not always that easy.

I can't stand the Golden State broadcast team. Mavericks too.

Better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.


He sucks though.

I assumed he was talking about Richaun Holmes (who I *do* miss very much).

Not re-signing him was a serious mistake.

Clippers and Jazz are both losing...Jazz can’t beat Minnesota for some reason...on the verge of getting swept this year by them.

Kevin Love gets a lot of benefit of the doubt for several reasons, but that stunt should get him fined by the Cavs.

Was it intentional? Looked like he was frustrated and batted the inbounds pass back in but it was sloppy and wide right but his teammate didn’t go after it.

It's not the mistake that would bother me, it's the complete lack of effort to correct it.

That was a very strange play.

Why is Love so angry? Last year he acted out in frustration by throwing that missile of a pass at Sexton, and this this year. Meanwhile, Sexton is apparently one of the most friendly and positive players on the team, and as a veteran, shouldn't Love be offering advice and constructive criticism instead? I know that he has had issues with his mental health, but this is not right.
