Is that supposed to make us feel better? Lol


It's just an amazing performance by him. Can't blame the defense too much.

I'm a big Koufos fan, what is the opinion around here about him?

It won’t matter. This is a bad team. You only add pieces to contenders.

I do not understand why we give up so many points, the defense looks for me way better than the score-line.


It feels like every team randomly starts hitting a large amount of improbable shots against us e.g Gordan and Payton today. Some of these they miss 70% of the time.

In saying that if it happens to evey team we play ust have something to do with the d

Gordon is shooting over 40% from 3 this year.

14 point lead LOL its **** over. I feel the pace we play at is way down and that is prob effecting both the offensive and defense. An example of this, Melo gets the reobund and instead of just passing to Westbrook, he takes his sweet time dribbling up the floor and more often bricks an iso shot

At some point Donovan has got to pull every starter in a game like this early in the 4th and let them watch the rest of the game from the bench. Considering what happened to coach Fizz that is probably not going to happen.

“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.

Confidence and game flow are real things. The first is the reason other teams get better against us as the game goes on. The second is why everyone who leaves here improves.

Why hasn’t Abrines played? In a game where you’re desperate for offense I’d think you’d want him in there.

Presti said George was the ideal fit alongside Russ. Not sure what to make of those comments now.

If the rest of the starters played with the same energy and gave the same effort as Dre did tonight this would have been an easy win.

How many games can you have two of your top guys shooting so poorly? This is really weird.
