JJJ is so awkward that I think his moves are hard to predict. He’s out of control too

Ant has been barely involved in offense today..hasn't even gotten the ball much...instead we have SloMo handling more. What a strange game

Team is pressing, getting beat on penetration, missing open shots and layups. They’re lucky to be down only 5.

Did Conley just aged 10 years since yesterday? It's a little embarrassing on national TV so far. Hopefully we get the win.

Our offense is such a problem. I don't know why we can't take care of the ball and when we aren't able to flow we looks so bad. Literally, a team of bench players is beating us because we can't flow and we have nothing to go to if we can't find a rhythm. There is no safety net with out offense and it's just not reliable. We need to be playing great defense at all times in part because it fuels the average offense we have.

Spacing is not good...some of our guys keep repeating same mistakes every game. And also we have lot of evidence that these SloMo-Rudy lineups make things pretty hard offensively but due to some reason Finch keeps persisting with it

How often do Ant, KAT, Jaden, and Mike all go cold at once? Naz didn’t score in the 2nd quarter, Rudy is 2 of 5 (fairly rare.) We just need to wake up in the 2nd half.

Barkley is not a fan of us, yet has nothing of substance to say. We will win this, and the clown will contradict himself.

Yes we do and I believe we will. If we just shoot 40% in the 2nd half that should get it done.

We're finally making some shots, but we're letting them score on every possession.

Another problem with letting these teams play well, is they get so much confidence, then they start knocking down shots like crazy and they think they can do anything, that's how you lose these games. You need to crush these teams early, we messed around way too much with turnovers and crap plays.

So we are out of challenges and used a timeout when we might rather have saved it (you don’t get it back for winning the 2nd challenge.) Tough situation for Finch, bad result.
