Harris is really hurting us tonight. He's outquicking Morris.

Their open threes are much more open than our "open" threes.

Bad games happen, especially on the road. That is why i try to enjoy a big win for it's own sake without thinking it will carry over to future games.

I talk about all the bad turnovers and three-point shooting, but this defense utterly sucks.

Scott has ridden Beal and Wall the entire 3rd quarter, which has gone from -6 to -16. Must have zero faith in his backup guards.

The Pistons are 24th in PPG. They have scored 98 points on us through 3 quarters.

Well, was hoping to split these two road games. Charlotte will be even tougher but no matter how bad you shoot, you have to attempt to defend.

If so, then Brooks and I agree on that front.

Whatever was said at half-time didn't get through to the players.

Beal has now missed 18 straight 3-pointers, the longest drought of his career.

So does the Sato experiment end with Sheldon coming in?

Broken Beal is discomforting.

I think Doris Burke can do a better job of staying in front of Ish Smith than Trey Burke.

Maybe Wall should be out there with the bench guys. They seem to be engaged.
