Not having that third pg is going to bite Triano in the ass.
We've been a turnover machine since cojo left the game.

It looks ugly and I'm being negative but really it just looks like they're sleep walking. Solvable problems and there was a point they could have gone up 10+ there.

Kinda funny seeing KO having to bring the ball up twice lol

Ugh. Horrible ending. Canada can't get anything going. Everyone looks pedestrian.

That stretch of turnovers was what caused the weird end to the half. Had a chance to expand on a 4 point lead they've been having for stretches. Should play better now that the first half is over in an important game (young team etc).
"I definitely knew he traveled, but I didn't know they were going to call it. That was one of them situations in which a great player made a move...and they called the call. And I was like, 'Oh, man, there is a God.'

I don't get why KO is the trailer in their secondary break attack. I get they want him to shoot those trail 3s when the defense sinks to help on the post, but KO is a better post scorer than Bennett and no one on Venezula has been able to stop him inside. Bennett is more effective attacking closeouts than KO.

I know Olynyk has been awesome offensively. But what the **** is with all of his turnovers? He has hurt us at key moments with them.

Wiggins was actually torn by 3 decisions there. Pass it, lay it up, dunk it. Didn't do any of those but luckily we still have possession.

WTF was Wiggins doing last night binging on booze and Mexican prostitutes?
