Yeah, The Tyreke thing is complicated and unfortunate.

Lots of Holiday bashing and more in this this thread clearly shown to be quite empty. And funny. And sad.

Holiday is not great at anything, but a rare specimen and who is good at so many things. He is clearly not a superstar and has flaws, but he is a solid player and a core piece... Get used to him.

I think he is a great defender, but outside of that I agree.

6-4 in our last ten with wins over OKC, Houston, and Cleveland. Not bad.

I acknowledge that OKC didn't have Durant, but we were on the second night of a back-to-back on the road, following a terrible loss. That was a big win.

Came back and seeing we won


Reading the message board, looks like we survived Reke's hero ball.

Holiday's easily got the 2nd most job security on this team. He'll be playing with Davis for a long time, unless some superstar decides he wants to come play with AD, in a sign and trade.

The bench is really coming around. Gotta give them MAJOR props for this one.

Every starter had a negative +/-. Every bench guy had a positive +/-

I will not allow that excuse for any opponent as Eric Gordon and his $15 million dollar share of the cap is sitting on the bench in a suit. We have constantly had key players injured and not played at full strength for two seasons.

big road win. need another one Tuesday in Indy. would put the Pels at 7-9 on the road. gotta get to .500 on the road for the year to have a real shot at the playoffs. .500 on the road +30 road wins = about 50 wins, which could be good enough for the playoffs.

Agreed. If my calculations are correct then we have the exact trajectory as the infamous 09-10 Thunder squad. Have you ever heard of them?

The Thunder went scoreless in the final 3:45. In that time, Russell Westbrook went 0-of-6 shooting and turned it over once.

Don't forget Asik, they both shut him down.

I'm eyeing other teams for a collapse. Perhaps Houston. Sucks that they have a big lead, but look at their schedule. They've been very consistent but have won maybe 1 or 2 really impressive games and lost at least 1 bad one(home to Lakers). Unlikely, but I don't think they'll play substantially above .500 ball if Dwight misses a lot more.

Tough division might get us. Anyway, 20 games above .500 is the mark to shoot for. Gonna need a 12-3 January for Christmas.

Nice win for the Pels after last night's disaster.

Gotta beat Indy.

Frustrating to watch AD not get touches late again.

I don't even care that I think you're trying to rip stone hands, where did you get this magical gif? And do they have more?
