this team always finds a way to win. their will and resolve is outstanding. crazy how during the big 3 era our main weaknesses were point guard and center, now those are among our strengths.

This team is so damn tough. :whoo:

-Spo got Kelly Oly feeling himself and reaching into his bag tricks every game. Kelly has his weaknesses but Spo has tapped into that high IQ and made him into a solid positional defender too.

They are really reminding me of them 2004 Pistons in that they manage to turn every game into a slug fest. I think this team can definitely be a dark horse in the playoffs because they execute in stressful situations. They been winning games when there threes aren't falling and through defense plus ball movement. They outlast these teams.

Bam has so much potential. Dude is relentless. I'm tired of people saying he's making Hassan expendable. If anything we should be thinking about a twin tower situation. If bam continues to develop that mid range, him and Hassan would be a nightmare down low. Alley oops all over the place. But they would especially be a force on the defensive end. Gotta stop trying to adjust to the league and make the league adjust to us. Slow these muthafukkers down and bully em.
You may be right but I personally just never believed in the effectiveness of these "twin-towers" lineups. I feel like it slows down the pace of the game a bit if you use them like you should.

I'm all about the positionless basketball and smallball these days as long as you have two power players who can flat out rebound and that's why we need Hassan and Bam the most + Hassan brings rim protection factor too.

We'll see how it plays out in the long run but I just don't believe in it

Thank you. It's a copy cat league now and everyone wants to be Golden State. No one really appreciates a big man anymore unless he can shoot 3s. Sometimes it feels like wasted potential to see Hasaan is just to set screens all game. I know it's working and we are winning. I would just like to see more post ups. That's all. :whoa:
Agreed. The perimeter has gotten too congested. We don't need everybody standing around on the three-point line without a single player on the low block. That take away the high-efficient scoring game away from the offense.

Hassan ain't Hakeem. The few post ups a game he does are enough
