It is a miracle we are even in this game right now. We are struggling to score with exception to Big Baby and they are beating us in just about all the hustle stats. The fact that we haven't really turned the ball over is reason why we are still hanging around.

Someone said that the first 5 minutes of the 3rd quarter will determine where this game goes and I agree 100%. If we have a quarter like we did on Monday or like the 1st quarter of this game, then we are finished.

Their athleticism prevents us from having a lights out shooting night. If we are going to win we'll have to grind out games.

Could be worse. We could be the Jazz (Utah 40, SA 72 with 4:30 left in 3rd)

I know we/I keep killing Ryan but I'm goin to throw some of that on SVG. How the hell do you not figure out how to get your second best shooter some open looks?

Just like the Hawks series last year. They have the length to close out when the ball is swung.

Man i wished we threw some money at Jamal Crawford....plus he said himself he would of liked to play here.....we need someone who can create off the dribble.....J-rich is a travesty in really anything that is not a catch and shoot situation....

That's alright, Ryan. I've still got your back. Us against the world. We all we got.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Same here, when you have to rely on BBD shooting jumpers with nobody else contributing.. It's not going to be pretty.

But we already won one game so who knows..

That is what i've been saying all along.....Ryan isn't playing too great but some of it falls on the coach....he calls all the plays....figure out a way that Ryan can get a look instead of winging it off of pick and rolls....design something for him.....

It wouldn't have even taken that much to get him here either. The only logical reason why I think J-Rich was signed back here in the first place was a feeble attempt to get in good graces with Dwight's agent since J-Rich is under Fegan as well.

Problem with Anderson is he's one dimensional. He can't post up, struggles taking his man off the dribble and is horrendous around the rim. The only thing he's good at is shooting, so when a team shadows him, he's useless.

why don't we have 1 player that is a threat in transition??? just one player to get a foul or layup on a fast break would help a lot. no easy points for us.

SVG is an awful coach. AWFUL.

I am so beyond tired of him.

Jamal also signed a two year 5 mil per deal. His contract is even better than JRich and still allows for flexibility in 2013... Man, Otis is the worst GM in the league right now.

hes a spot up shooter who doesn't move unless its for offensive rebounds, when he does get the ball inside he gets blocked every play, hes not athletic, you can stick a folding chair out there to guard him on the perimeter

The 3rd quarter is the Key to this game.....we can't have another 3rd like the last one....Jameer has to step up....J-Rich has to do something anything....Ryan has to prove his worth....Hedo needs to stop playing like a pedestrian....i know he has a mask on but he's too passive for my liking....

Bench Ryan, hedo, and JRich. They don't provide any energy. Ryan usually does, just can't get it going. I wish he'd at least attempt a 1on1 move.
