A bit disappointed Sabonis is getting kinda ignored on offense.

It's Bogdanovic who ignored him few times, other than that it's fine.

Just trade Thaddeus. I'm sorry. He has not even attempted to play defense on those possessions.

PnR with Sabonis was working great in the first game. They're not doing it today at all. Domas is being used only as a screen setter.

Vic got up so High on that ally oop from DC that I thought he was gonna get a nose bleed. He stopped off in the upper deck to get some pop corn on the way down.

I think this is a tough matchup for him. His strength is going to be bullying guys on offense....he isn't going to be able to bully Nurkic.

Trying to post-up Domas on Nurkic would definitely be a mistake. But taking advantage of Nurkic' lack of speed in covering the PnR could be an option.

I'm one of those few people who enjoy watching good defense more than good offense. This is probably going to be a rough year for me.


I loved those hard nosed, Hibbert/George/Hill led defensive squads. LOVED them. But that's not what the NBA wants to see these days. It's hard to even be allowed to play tough and physical defense, so we're adjusting to that.

I'm willing to see where this team goes from here, and give them a shot.

I used to like Lillard, but man he is reaching Steph Curry level of bitchiness.

We're hardly even trying to play defense. Its soooooooo frustrating for me.

Oladipo is really struggling, and we're just missing a lot of spot up shots in general.

Sabonis playing with great energy but needs to knock down the freebies though.

Oladipo is taking bad shot, after bad shot, after bad shot, after bad shot.
