because you listen to Pac and Snoop, you a 'gangster'..

Please.

Is this about me? I’m hard bro. Yes I listen to Pac and sometimes I want the heat.  What up doh.

Just randomly realized that we realistically won’t win 50 games this season. We would need to finish 23-5 to get to 50.

Im hoping we can at least finish 10 games over .500, with 46-48 wins.

Last NBA player that kept it as 'real' as Morant does?  Javaris Crittenton.

Let that sink in.

I wanted Critt for us badly, but didn’t want Tony Wroten Too bad about Javaris though, man.

One interesting note from nbaradio last week was scalabrine asked to describe Tatum and Browns relationship.  Sound like they have a Trae/Collins sitch. 

Said they're not 'boys', dont hang out, et,.  They just respect each other's game..... but Brown thinks he's just as good.

Isola went on to explain that Tatum was given everything Brown has worked for.  He's from Duke, high profile, gets all the attention, etc.  But they're now basically equal players - suggested theres probably resentment there.

Just sharing for discussion sake.  Today I'll be listening for @shakes daily Kam/AD update since I know he loves those.

Guys don't need to be buddy buddy off court. Just need to have a healthy respect for each other and not let it affect them.on court.

It depends on the maturity of the players.  The players coming in to today's NBA are more and more self centered than ever.   I get that from Trae, Ja, Luka... as I survey them vs. Older stars like Isaiah, Magic, Stockton.   I believe Ja is the Height of disillusionment.   And I believe Trae is most disrespected.   It's a hard road for Trae.   He is clearly disrespected and he has to wear that.   For a guy who has a continual Chip on his shoulder, the amount of disrespect he receives could send him all Dillon Brooks.   Luka is just a diva.   Playing with Kyrie will be funny.  I got my popcorn.

.I think part of that is we just have greater access and information about the players. Everything they think they post to social medai.

Maybe it is too long at this point but Bird and McHale did not like each other. McHale got along great with every other teammate but Bird. Bird and McHale respected each other and won three titles together.

I actually thought of posting that you probably already saw it, but forgot.

Honestly that tweet made me feel bad for him.  In all seriousness, he needs to get his house in order before it trips him up.
