Love what I'm seeing, but I'll enjoy it when we do it in the 3rd.

it's baffling how we continue to play george-bench when melo-bench has played so much better. george-bench is bad.

Making shots energizes the defense.

Give it time and dononvan will switch it back...and then switch it again...and again.

our offense still sucks. got up big and even when rw came back in made some stupid plays, wasting possessions. there just doesn't seem to me like any way this team gets decent offensively with this group playing this way.

As soon as they play well I get all excited and hopeful. I hate myself.

Watching Abrines and Huestis out there at the same time really reaffirms how much we need a wing that isn't Abrines or Huestis.

Alright, I've said all year the only way I'd feel safe about a lead with this team going into the fourth quarter was if we were up by 25+.

Time to test it.
