We have had a rotating door of injuries all season. Here we are still near the top of the East. Still a contender but, going through a rough patch.

I would never go to battle with this sad group of cry babies. No ride or die in any of you!!

We will get back on track sooner than later. I don't wanna hear any celebrating around here when we do! Stick to your agendas. You don't deserve a winning team at all.

Let's fuggin go Knicks!!

I’m with you.

Tmac is right... defense has fallen off a cliff. Brown will get the rest of the season to figure it out. Otherwise, he'll be sent packing in the off-season. We can't afford to waste yet another season.

LOL exactly. They had the 12th ranked defense last year. It wasn't great, but it was better than this year. They just turned it up in the playoffs because that's where you're supposed to turn it up.

I mean that’s technically an above average defense. When I checked a few days ago we were 19th this year and 26th in the last 10.

We're struggling. Just like we did last year. Our defense hasn't changed a bit really. We still play the exact same defense with more switching. We still sag to help the paint and leave open shooters. We are late closing out and miss a lot of rotations. What's new? Nothing. Weren't we 11th or so before this slide and now we're 19th or something? I can swear I saw a tweet with those numbers.

Mike Brown running Thibsian risks to try and acquire cheap wins to prop up his failing coaching strategy and flailing manner utilizing KAT. Hate to see it.
