We came up short in LA last night and if we want to win this one we're going to have to play four full quarters.

Go Spurs!!

Tonight isn't crucial IMO and I'm expecting the worst. 2nd night of a back-to-back after looking sluggish last night. We never seem to play well in regular season nationally televised games to begin with. ESPN is starting to run with that father time thing again as they usually do when we lose a game or 2.

From afar, I still feel like this team lacks the determination it had last year. Its like they keep telling themselves "OK, tomorrow we will really get serious" and the tomorrows are getting close to the end of the year now. We seem to be falling back into our old habits of letting teams dictate tempo to us and not playing aggressive enough. Maybe we need a fight or someone to seriously blow us out in embarrassing fashion to get some spark here? If we can finish the rest of the trip 3-1 after this game we can come home for 6 in a row at 37-22. That will be the make or break time to try and move up from 7th or 8th.

At this point I'm starting to just pray for no more injuries. We've proven plenty of times that we can beat all of theses teams ahead of us in their own buildings in the playoffs if we are healthy and playing well.

I wonder if CoJo is going to get some burn tonight to annoy Curry. I was surprised he didn't play at all last night.

This isn't a must-win, but in terms of setting a course for the stretch and galvanizing the team, it's close. We're healthy and we need to beat a good team on the road.

All the variables suggest that we'll lose, but I'm optimistic. I hope I'm right. Go Spurs!

Can't complain about the offense, but if we're only up 2 after shooting nearly 60%, that's a little troublesome.

I know Tony has some assists, but him and Manu just look over matched tonight. Our lack of D the last two games has been unbelievably frustrating. The 3rd has been our worst this year, dreading it now...

Well... so much for gut feelings.

Let's get back in it.

Embarrassing

I wasn't expecting a win but that was pretty sad.

I was actually kind of expecting this. Being embarrassed now could turn out to be a good thing later.
