"They are who we thought they were!"

I still can't believe they beat the CLOLippers.  They could only beat the Clippers for the rest of the season and I would be happy with four wins.

Times sure have changed

Only if the Clippers had 3 wins.

Ya the Clippers don't suck for a change

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

Going to be a long season.  Curious to see how the rebuild process goes over the next few years.

Yep, gotta take the bad with the good.

It won't go well as long as Jim Buss is in charge.

[Punk]

I'll be at the game Sunday against the Hawks.

Good win near choke but like the way they didnt roll over and die when the Hawks made their comeback

[Ray McKigney]

Every commentator and analyst says over and over that Jordan Hill doesn't play enough. When they ask D'Antoni about it after the game, he said he doesn't think Hill contributes any more than anybody else on the team. D'Antoni even said that Hill getting that late offensive rebound was the least he could do because he got burned on the play before. It's obvious that he dislikes him for some reason because he let Hill sit on the bench while they were with the Knicks too. 

 

Does anybody have an idea why D'Antoni refuses to give Hill more minutes? 

[St1ck]

Hill slept with his wife. 

[Angel Oracle]

D'Antoni is a dork who is clueless about defense.   

Only Jimmy Bob Buss would have given him a long term contract after how he flamed out in Phoenix and NY.

[Ray McKigney]

Hill slept with his wife. 

 

Funny. That's what my brother said too. Hill had to have done something to really piss D'Antoni off. Or maybe he's just the world's worst coach.

[xboom28x]

Hill can't shoot the 3. That's why D'Antoni doesn't like him.

[Ray McKigney]

I think you're right. James Worthy seems completely perplexed by it. He talked about it repeatedly before and after the game last night. 

[Punk]

Shouldn't have been that close, but a win is a win. Had fun at the game. 

[St1ck]

I'm just going to assume they will get boat raced every road game this year.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

We are gonna win like 4 road games this year. I really really hope Kobe doesn't rush back from injury because this team is horrible either way. 

[tennischmp]

Yea no point watching them away from LA

[Ray McKigney]

I think they're a .500 team, at best. They will struggle to get to 40 wins. 

[tennischmp]

Playing at Houston tomorrow on TNT. That should be fun

[Punk]

Every game against the Rockets will be on national television this year.

[Angel Oracle]

The further Kobe is to returning, the more likely they win 30 games tops. 

Is this the year they potentially finish with less than 30 wins for the first time since the Minneapolis days of the 1950s?

 

Jordan Hill is the 2nd best post player on this team, except to the dork in charge.

[St1ck]

If I was a betting man, I would take Houston -13 tonight.
