I can't believe we lost this game, we were playing so well at the first half. Bledsoe played terrible and we had no one to rely on handling the ball except Baron. I'm really disappointed.

It's not about that last shot by Baron.

Unless we're able to trim down our turnovers we won't win any games in this league.

the way things are looking...we should have another #1 overall pick!

Back to back 1 point losses is taking a toll on me.

Going into the fourth we still had a chance to win the game but we continued to turn the ball over, 27 in total. Even still we had a shot to win the game, it wasn't a great possession but there was still a chance. Another heart breaking one point loss 84-83 Grizzlies.

I was hoping we could win this one since we have the Magic tomorrow night. I weird weekend back to back and it is hard to win the second game. Tough loss and I can only hope we win tomorrow.

The worst record guarantees everything but the #1 pick in the draft, as long as you aren't the Orlando Magic...

Anyways, I think we'll be able to win some games down the road, with Bledsoe and those other youngster maturing and stopping to turn the ball over all the time.
That could make us a pretty dangerous team during the 2nd half of the season.

I believe there will be a point when we will do that. The good thing is that we are in ball games and we really aren't being blown out. We just aren't executing and we turn the ball over. The only good thing about these close losses is that the team will eventually learn how to win them. If we wind up with another lottery pick this year I don't think that would hurt this team, why not load up on more young talent.

I was at the game. Best tickets I've ever had- 4th row behind Lawler and Smith. Very disappointing ending. I really think they would have been better off not taking a timeout at the end

whats the point of taking a timeout if youre gonna give the ball to Baron for a final shot?

Aminu played over 10min and didn't take a shot. Whats up with that?

Only player I was impressed today was Jordan.

Im not really sure why Baron is still coming off the bench. Sure Bledsoe is a young prospect but he isnt ready to play starter minutes. Let him play against bench guys and gain some confidence that way. Hopefully Baron can play half decent and increases his trade value. Then you can trade Baron and promote Bledsoe when he is actually competent.
