Every minutes he's out there helps us. He's still as horrible as ever defensively. He has a high +/- because he was on the floor for the first quarter and didn't play much in the second, not because he's suddenly a better player. He's still the scrub he always was.

Got it all the way down to four and it's a double digit deficit again.

At this point I'm not even sure if I'm mad at the players and the game anymore. I think I'm more pissed off at Presti for letting our roster get to this point. We have ZERO reliable scorers outside of Russ, PG and, like, if he's set up perfectly, Adams. And now that PG is playing 75%, we need Russ to score pretty much every possession or hope one of our terrible 3P shooting role players magically start making 3s after a Russ drive-and-kick.


Presti's rosters management is a fireable offense. He's a really, REALLY bad GM.

He seems more locked in defensively though. You must see that if you're watching the game.

That interview with Curry’s mom went way too long. No one freaking cares about her grandchildren.

He's not. When he's in the game we've been able to attack him offensively and either score or, at the very least, generate a good look.

Aminu's steal was clean, but he grabbed and pulled PG back after the steal. The foul should've been on him.

Instead, Aminu ends up on the FT line and makes two FTs.

Overall, we've gotten the short end of the stick with these refs.

The amount of contact Aminu is allowed to get away with is crazy. He is literally mauling us near the rim and just fouled George twice only to get rewarded for it with 2 FTs.

I think aside from the Lillard flop which resulted in Westbrook picking up an offensive foul, the refs are pretty fair tonight

I don't disagree. But I don't know if the initial reach in that led to him poking the ball away was a foul. I think that was clean.

But he immediately grabbed PG and pulled him back so he could go after the ball. That was a foul. The refs ignored that one only to call a foul on PG.

Kanter's defense ha sucked. Our offense has scored much more easily today every time he's on the floor.

First he hit him on the hip and then he hit him on the arm.

Frankly my dear I don't give a damn.

It's too bad that you're watching but not understanding what's happening on the court. Now go watch some Kanter highlights.
