We gave up an avg of 134 pts in the last 5 loss. Whatever we do, just don't give up more than 110. I would feel go if we lose the game like 105-78.

DLO has consistently been our top 3 performing players since KAT went out, this game might hurt or we could shock the world, I don't think it'll be close

It will shock the world if Wolves are within 7pt in the last minute. We are only behind SAS, OKC, and DET in points allow. HOU,ORL, LAL,CHA are all better than us in D

I've already bent over and will accept the reaming... Hopefully the players don't feel the same way

Don't worry, I think they prefer being on their backs

I’d imagine the offense either is weirdly fluid or it’s a lot of possessions taking almost all 24 seconds of the shot clock and forcing up a bad shot.

I’m optimistic though. Hopefully Finch gets creative and doesn’t ride someone like Forbes who’ll just hurt more than he helps and gives guys like Moore, Minott, and Knight chances at non-garbage time minutes.
Rest in peace Mamba. There'll never be another Kobe.

Rovers is starting but I’d imagine Anderson, Nowell, and Ant will get as many minutes as they can handle and have the ball more often than not.

First reaction to this game: The Clips don't have Damien Lillard

They also have a piss poor offense in general.

ANT also looks like he wants to take over. I wouldn't be surprised if he drops a 40-piece tonight.

I really prefer tonight's line up and pace granted LAC are missing shots. Other then the two travels, it's looking goid. Have DLo come off the bench when he comes back.

La is 3 for 3 from 3 since I turned the game on. Might have to turn it off.

Oh hey a TO.
Let’s check out this high level action coming up.
We can all rate it on a scale of 1 to 10.

Give ball to Kyle. Kyle isos and get fouled on the shot.
I give it a 3. Only because it resulted in a shooting foul.
