Team still sucks. Regularly scheduled programming.
“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.

Another loss in a close game. Another sub-100 point game.

I let the Warriors suck me back into watching part of another game.

I'm done.

I just read the play by play and Melo took all the shots down the end? I didn’t see PG attempt one even as I scroll down.

Not good.

At least this is a pretty good team they lost to, if that’s any consolation.

Dude what are you seeing? We have a losing record, one good win, blow leads every game, one year to convince George to stay...I mean yeah, the sky is king of falling. We went all in this year.

Of course, Russ contested, off balance 3 when we need a 2. Great play call by Scott Brooks.

This is a sub-.500 team.

We're 20 games into the season. This is who we are. If it's a close game in the 4th quarter, despite having three seasoned, playoff-tested veterans, we'll lose 95% of the time. We'll eventually win a close game, but right now we're 0-fer in about 10 attempts which tells me this is just who we are. Nine or so times out of 10, if it's a close game in the 4th quarter, we won't be able to figure it out and we'll just lose. And, most likely, it'll be after we've held a double-digit lead in the 2nd half or a 20ish point lead in the 1st half.

If Russ had taken the easy layup in transition, against Drummond, instead of the contested 3, we win. Every play means something, and Russ was trash tonight. Don't even care about the triple double.

Right, this team obviously has no issues because it has big names on it.
“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.
