They are legit absolutely awful. Hard to watch Paul as he's been one of my favourite players but his days of being an elite starter are over.

Jumping the gun a bit early ? He was absolutely outstanding last season at the Rockets. Would be horrid news the Rockets if that was the case given the contract they just signed him to, but I wouldn't be ruling out Chris Paul this early, it was only 5 months ago if he stayed healthy for another 2 games the Rockets probably win a championship.

Good to get the win but hard to know how much to take out of it with Davis missing.

I don’t want to get carried away but Evan Turner has been very good this season from what I’ve seen. It seems like the shooters we have surrounded him with on the bench is maximising his talent.

Still not 18 million worth but he’s been good.

Collins needs to rebound better. Geez he’s deadly from deep though

Yeah was going to say the same thing about ET, but it only has been 8 games so I don't want to jump the gun. I won't judge him for not being 18 million good as that's unrealistic, but current Turner was the Turner we saw in his final season at Boston.

Yea after last year it's hard to take too much out of anything. We got an absolute heap of teams with their best 1 (even two or three) out. Then got swept.

Bench has gone from one of the worst in the league to one of the best.

Yeah that's the thing I actually have taken out of the season to this point, our bench has improved.

Yep guard depth and rotation is ridiculous. There is now very little let up for opposition. Also bench defense, rebounding and hustle been good with the young Collins (he is stupid good for a 20yo) and Swanigan.

6-35 from 3 in today's loss to the Lakers, very disappointing.

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Poor loss today

Late in the 3rd quarter cost us, if we only trailed by 8 or 9 going into the last I think we would've won.

Bench woes were back too. In 38 mins between them Stauskas and Curry had 3 points and 4 assists. Overall bench outscored 51-26. No where near good enough.

Responded well today. Although sounds like the Wolves have checked out

Yeah Wolves will trade Butler at some point, they won't be making playoffs this season.

Disappointed in the Wolves. They were a nice young team on the way up. Now they're a mess where talent the calibre of Towns and Wiggins look like they dgaf.

Wish we could get in on a trade for Butler he’d be amazing with Dame

I do think he is heavily overrated though if I'm being honest.

Great win today, CJ was great and ET had his best game as a blazer.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

CJ came to the party finally 17-26, 40/5/6 stat line. Turner 16-11-4 with another very solid match. Beating an 8-1 full strength Bucks is probably our best win for the season.

Yep and the Pacers win probably our second best

Yeah that was the one I was tossing up between. Other wins have had players like Harden, Davis & Butler absent.

Spurs smashing was a good win

Two more games in the homestand with Clippers and Boston.

Would be great to go 5-1 at home and head back on the road at 10-3

Yeah then I think we head for a 6 game road trip which finishes up with games against the Bucks and Warriors.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Didn't shoot that well but we got the just done vs the clippers today.
