    If / When he gets shipped out with Randle, Deng and Clarkson, you won't see me shed a tear.

    Damn, you guys are harsh. :D Not happy either, but he made some very nice drives, if he’d finish on more of them he looks a lot better. Still too soon for me to give up on him, he’s going to be up and down.

    still waiting on his game to change. at least he stopped chucking in the second half?

    really frustrating that he's invisible when he's not scoring--that wasn't the guy we had last year, imo.

    That is true, and a good point. Last year he was doing the dirty work, going all out on D, really using his length to bother some players, making some very nice passes on offense. Now it seems he’s gone from that to being told he’s Kobe and just go 1 on 1 when you get it. He’s not, and he shouldn’t.

    I knew this s*** was going to happen.

    He was part of the group that got us back into this game. Got his 5th....went out for Zo...moments later KCP subs in for Hart. That's where we lost folks.

    Hart +21, BI +16 = our top 2 net producers tonight
    Zo -24, KCP -19 = our bottom 2 net producers tonight

    Lay off the kid..it wasn't his night, but it definitely wasn't Zo's either. KCP was obviously a net negative as well even with the points....I like all these guys, but hindsight being 20/20, Luke should have stuck it out with the unit that got us back into the game....however that 5th on BI kinda killed it.

    I'm not liking how BI is putting himself in foul trouble, but at least you can see that he's working on defense (hence the fouls). He needs to clean that up, but he was not the reason for the L tonight folks.

    It just wasn't Zo's night (took the 2nd most shot attempts and had 5TOs). BI had his hand in the bad start out the gate, but he also helped the team get back in it.

    Looked great playing team ball with the bench. Looked like crap trying to ISO over and over and over with the starters once again.

    Crazy body fluctuation is always going to mess up your shooting mechanics. Dude was 6'2" just five years ago. His late growth spurt, along with him trying to bulk up is going to need time. Which is why I'm fairly confident the shot will come....just try to get your Kawhi on instead of your Durant on. Be that defensive ace for us without reaching and getting silly fouls. He'll get there.

    The urgency is that we don't have a pick this year, so tanking is out of the question. We need to lure free agents, so we need to earn them dubs. So its a hard sell to have our fanbase be patient with our young core...but I'm hoping they can.
