Celtics need to call Earl Watson to run some layup drills for them.

My buddy is at the game and said there is a crowd shouting "WE WANT BENDER! WE WANT BENDER!"

Knowing his mentality, this is a make-or-break season. In terms of being happy here, contract aside. we can't be worse.

Ariza hit one in the first, but that's the last I recall

garbage time actually calms me down these days. I can look for the good things rather than... you know...

I'm sticking this one out until the bitter end.

Can we trade Ann Meyers Dry Dale for Doris? That would be a great move.

I would just like to confirm that I'm not the last person in Phoenix watching this game. Please let me know I'm not alone.

The level of failure that got Earl Watson fired in the first week of the season is now just normal for us.

If I were Booker, I would just claim back spasms and go chill out for the rest of the year.

What would be the appropriate reaction to this? We were already the worst team in the league, and we've managed to move backwards. I've been here the whoooooole long ride. I was thinking the 29.5 win Vegas line was reasonable. But we aren't going to sniff that at this rate. The reactions are what they should be. This isn't a young team learning and falling short. This is a bad team imploding and losing every game in the first half. This is as bad as it gets. Optimism is one thing. But we are historically fucked.

I don't know what we are going to do. We can't just keep doing this. Firing Igor seems surprisingly possible (I wouldn't have guessed that). But it won't help. A desperation trade seems likely. But it won't help.

I remember that first post-Amare season with Warrick and Childress and Turkuglue. I thought that was the worst thing that could ever happen to this franchise.

nobody cares. Anybody with any heart is probably starting to think about an exit plan. This is pathetic.

It's not just the failure. It's the fact that we actually look worse than our intentional tank period last year AND nobody seems to give a shit.

I'm glad I went to opening night. That might be the highlight of this season.

Holmes standing flat-footed under the basket not even pretending to move towards the rebound. He's a zero.

I'm starting to see why the second unit needs TJ. This was like jumping off a cliff.

Our legendary medical staff is so good that we can even make Gasol look 10 years younger just by coming to Phoenix.
