Tuned in to catch a little Euroleague and the commentators are raving about how much hustle and physicality Colton Iverson is giving Macabbi Tel Aviv on the defensive end and thinking. Come on! Him too?

All that hustle and physicality still doesn't make him an NBA caliber player.  I'm glad he's doing well where he is, but it's a mistake to think he could do the same here
I'm bitter.

Some people appear elated with the early season difficulties because they predicted we wouldn't be that good.

This is what's called an incomplete grade or not enough data.

The only losers so far are myself for predicting 65 wins and anyone who thinks somehow the first seven games mean much considering we are missing a lot of our best players.

Multiple TPs coming your way, Clay. I admit, i've been overreacting at times on here, but you're right. you've certainly calmed me down a bit too, as i've gotten a bit frustrated about the team's recent results. so, thanks.

I think being 4-4 with Horford playing 3 games and Crowder playing 3.5 is just fine as a record.

But it is the way they lost 3 straight games that was very concerning.  They got blown off the court in the 1st quarter.

With AH, JC and KO all out at the same time, the C's had three of this season's five starters out.

Stevens would be crazy to stick KO on the bench yet again this year.
