That was great effort. That's what we were lacking in the first half. Put in the same level of effort in the 4th and we win easily.

Barnes has figured out how to attack on offense recently and it has been glorious. The three isn’t there but he’s actually starting to go downhill with more authority

Doug Christie is a first rate tanking coach. Great quarter by the Raps.

Kings have the saddest future of any team, literally not a single good building block for the future.

Also tells you how hard it is to make trades in this league that none of these guys have been moved yet.

Yeah. Kind of passive as a scorer in the first half, much better in the 3rd Q. But as ever, doing other kinds of work.

Impressive game already.

Yeah, because they were the only team willing to trade FOR most of them...

Careful with that rhetoric, you'll be told that isn't true because his stats are the same as all the other previous years

Monk couldn't size up Gradey on that possession. It's a good sign.

Attacking the kings is good they have bad defenders

IQ has been very aggressive - continuation of yesterday, great to see,

Great defense by Gradey there.

IQ is the best on the team at actually using craft to draw fouls. Finally starting to use it

The regular fall from Demar

Jumping at a Westbrook pump fake should immediately get you sent to the cba

He's got more agressive and is getting to the free throw line more too.
Too many games this year with 0 attempts

Just continued to support my position that this league need salary retention.

Someone would take those guys if they only had to pay half their salary. It sucks to see teams be unable to rebuild and it sucks watching guys like Demar waste the end of their career
