Oh well, this loss could help us in the lottery. RJ and Dre are going to be perennial allstars going forward and KCP has a shot be a great two-way player. A couple more pieces and we could be very dangerous.


I can't say I'm really all that disappointed since our odds are extremely long in any case where the playoffs are concerned. I wouldn't look at Andre so much about the rebounding. He did his part, but our forwards were terrible on the glass tonight. Probable should have played Anthony at the 4 a little, not that he can shoot but he couldn't have been any worse. Butler was all but invisible, Tay fell back to earth, and Williams IMO should enjoy has last stint in the NBA. Yup, did the draft pick no harm tonight. :wink:

Even though we lost(and I lost $50 :nonono: ), I gotta show respect for Reggie since he finally played well against a starting-caliber player for once. We missed Monroe this game.

K. Gordon needs to take advantage of that 6th-man role. He needs to stop fighting it and just accept it man.

It makes me feel a little bad to say it, but this was a clutch loss. We need to have the important guys play well (and 2 of 3 did) and lose some more games to secure the 8th worst record. A few more fun wins is plenty.

Thanks to the moving parts of the deal, I suppose. OKC got Singler, Augustin and Kanter for Jackson- essentially.

Reggie is on a hot streak right now, but I'm more concerned with consistency than anything from him. Unforunately, 9 more games isn't really a sample size big enough to make that judgment. The only thing we know for certain is that RJ plays much better with a stretch 4 on the court and room to drive to the hoop.

Went to the game last night, Andre was incredible. His maturation on the offensive end is jaw dropping. In basically one year he has went from non existent to almost automatic down low. His foot work is improving, his patience is good, hes starting to understand when he touches the ball down there the goal every time is a dunk. Its awesome to watch.

Reggie was phenomenal again, if we get him some help at the 2 & 3 we could be very good, very quickly.

We really missed Monroe, Dre had to play the entire 2nd half because we were lost without him. Reggie & Andre are our only 2 consistent scoring options. We easily win this game with Monroe.

Defensively, aside from a run in the 2nd half we were terrible.

KCP really stuck out tonight, hes usually outstanding on d which makes his insane inconsistencies on offense tolerable but D Wade destroyed him which made him virtually worthless as he went back to basically invisible on offense.

Yeah, well, Wade would have made about anyone look useless last night. That one incredibly high floater that swished over Dre sort of told what kind of night he was having. Sometimes, it's just not your night. :lol:

Honestly, Wade's been having a revival the last few couple of games. I don't think there was anyone that could stop him, he is so good despite his age. He clearly benefitted from that knee treatment.
