    The only good that came out of this game was the scrubs playing with effort. I would have pulled the starters in the third quarter and put in the 3rd string guys. At least they share the ball and play hard.

    losing to a team with 3 wins is inexcusable. plain and simple

    and in all honesty, they deserved to lose both games against them. ham needs to f***ing go

    It’s amazing just how different this team looks when it doesn’t care.
    No excuses, even with DLO and Cam out.
    We are supposed to be a “deep” team and be able to beat the worst team in the League with a few guys out.

    yeah, down three starters, playing a desperate team at their place, for the second time in three days, on national television...you gotta show up strong. we did not.

    We were without the organizer of our offense. Without our two best defenders (defenders elite enough to change what the other team is doing and can do on the court) and that means no one is slotted in the right role defensively. The only thing that Pop hates more than winning this season is losing to the Lakers twice in the same week.

    The good
    -    i thought Austin and Rui were up for the challenge in this one.
    - we mounted a comeback before the half and had a great second quarter.

    The bad
    -     nearly everything else
    - no defense
    - awful offense
    - Christie deserves his own call out here. Nearly a Tony Snell stat line. Played 23 minutes too many in this, would've been better off with a Pip Jr call up

    when teams play bad, they should be forced to play back to backs

    This team is offensively challenged and needs a trade.
    The answer isn’t LaVine, but there are always under the radar guys that get moved.
    This team should be much, much better. Some of it’s on Hamster, some of it is on many players just playing horribly on any given night.

    What went WRONG:
    -Couldn't throw a pea in the ocean from 3: 41 attempts, only 13 makes. That's a dismal 31%.
    -D-Lo 3 of 10
    -Taurean 3 of 13, all 3s
    -Cam 0 for 4 from the arc
    -AR 6 for 15 overall shooting.

    The D was lax. It's as if they're bored.

    I'm so over the IST "championship" now.

    Another road trip: CHI, then MIN on a BTB, OKC: we could come back home a .500 team.

    If you told me, "Tonight Lebron had 25/11/11 and AD was 34/14 with 2 blocks, I assume they won. They did not.

    Team has looked kinda lousy since beating IND in the IST.
