I expect a bounce back game from Westbrook. 30 points on 45% shooting (2/5 threes), 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 steals ;)

I expect a bounce back game as well, but I’d be shocked if Russ didn’t disappoint. Dallas is Russ’ kryptonite and our key players played heavy minutes last night.

George - 37
Westbrook - 38
Adams - 38

I’m not liking our chances tonight. Hopefully Russ turns it on and if he can’t, hopefully he lets Schroder run things for a bit.

You're gonna be facing a different Dallas team tonight. The Mavericks on the road.

Home 15-3
Road 2-15

Just wanted to point out that Alex hasn't played in a game since he missed the potential game winner in the Twolves game. I'm starting to wonder if it's not coincidence. Poor guy may have cracked. I kind of feel bad for him now.

Whenever guys miss games due to personal reasons, that's usually due to something VERY serious and family related.

So he gets a stomach bug then gets something else again a couple of weeks later, then has a personal matter come up as soon as he feels better? Its not impossible but Im skeptical.

Yeah, we really don’t know anything. For all we know, he could be the next Mitch McGary.

Ferguson played great defense on russ to prevent the fast break there.

Russ...

Jab step, shot from 15...airball.

That's it, I'm 100% certain now, this guy has the yips.

It was about a foot short.

Refs calling everything...except when Jeremi Grant takes 8 steps.

Ever since Russ airballed a jumper from the FT line, he's banked in (on purpose) two mid-range jumpers and had a 2-for-2 trip to the FT line.

***Fingers crossed***

Maybe this is the turning point....


Nah.

Yeah, that was a clear as day walk. We got away with one there. He caught the ball right at the top of the key beyond the 3P line and never put it on the floor. He took at least four steps.

Only three players in the league that could probably catch the ball on the run just beyond the 3P line at the top of the key and get to the rim for a dunk in two steps are Giannis, KD, and AD.
