I don't even know how to interpret this statement. I think these trade rumors are really affecting John on the court. He's not his usual tough finishing self out there and he's been missing his threes the past few games.  Could just be normal fluctuation in a season or could be mental fatigue. 

The trade deadline can't get here quick enough.

Not gonna lie, majority of players wouldn't be as willing as JC to stay with a team that consistently has them in trade rumors while also feeling unappreciated by his coaching staff. Managing your ego can be tiring, especially when its easy to hear the wrong things many people are telling him. 

Most would have adopted an "It is what it is" attitude at this point and phone it in, especially after being paid.

That’s a darn good point that most overlook, I kinda did till you said it. 

They don't need to be best friends, as long as there is a healthy respect for each other and they understand the task at hand and have the same goal - Winning- all good.

Any of you best friends with your coworkers? Not me, but I do enjoy their work company and it's fun.

Actually, I have no social life so my best friends are currently my current or past coworkers...lol

I just don't keep up with my college and high school buddies like I should.

What statement? Did he say something?

When I say I'm not best friends with someone it generally means we don't get along or I really don't have that much in common with that person.  I don't think John meant it that way. I just thought he and Trae was a little closer than acquaintances off the court.

Depends on the age gap. I had one coworker that became a friend because we were both entry level and both out of GSU. 

I get what you're saying though. I don't even consider some of my actual brothers my best friends cause our interests differ.

Watering dead plants can be hard. I just appreciate people for the time we shared and keep it pushing.

Oh ok there was a thing about Brandon Goodwin above your remarks.

They are like yin and Yang   

Whose Yin? Trae? JC gotta be da Yang to his Ying.

PeliCan'ts come thru.  Knicks are bad.  Hate that they have our number, reg season.

On another note, sounds like PaulSap is available in BKN.  I'd be all for it if he wasn't clearly done-zo.

Ya I’ve always loved Sap. Top 10 Hawk of all time for me. But I don’t think he has anything left I could be wrong, if he has another level, I haven’t seen it when I watched Nets games. I hope he gets with a west contender. Id say bring him here as coach next year if he retires and want a position. Would be nice to have him mentor Collins as they missed each other by a year. Collins needs some of Sap’s footwork and lil push shots around the hoop.

NY box score - - Cam still out - Injured.

Your words are true.  We got no choice but to take it one game at a time at this point, brolio.
