Re: Homeless Thread

I cannot understand how homelessness has become such a partisan issue, or why people think that it is only an issue in liberal states like California. Places like Arizona (not exactly a liberal bastion) are also experiencing a surge in their homeless population as rising rents have outpaced wage gro...

Re: Rawle Alkins

It is concerning that he has missed 2 out of the last 3 games, but watching him on the bench last night alleviated some concern. It didn't appear that he was wearing a boot and he was on his feet cheering on his teammates and jumping up on down after big plays. I'm hoping that's a sign that this rea...

Hurley needs to focus more on his own failures as opposed to just throwing his team under the bus.

Their offense is ...

He's evaluated as an elite point guard. If I had to guess, 97cats was comparing him him to the last two A...
