That third quarter in la really masked some issues
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

I don't understand having both Westbrook and Schroeder together on the floor. Seems like a bad idea.

This performance really shows Presti’s failures as a GM.

We’re getting out rebounded by a team that had Cody Zeller and willie Hernangomez as their centers and we have Steven Adams and Nerlens Noel.

Start Alex abrines. In the all Star game.

Well, at the end of the day, we played the Hornets to a standstill in the 3rd. But, after falling behind by 19 at one point in the quarter, I guess it's still a small victory to only be down by 4.

He can have the spot that won’t be filled by Paul George. George is so average most of the time.

This game is such a reflection of Sam Presti's failure. Russ isn’t in the game so we can’t blame him for Schröder jacking threes. The roster construction sucks.the two bright spots are the one shooter we have (Abrines) and the rookie that Dononvan won’t give minutes to. I don’t care if we come back and win. This isn’t a playoff team and I’m pissed.

We blow a 3-on-2 fastbreak and then Kemba gets a highly questionable foul call on the other end.
