It's still early in the season, so a just a game or two can skew the numbers, but man... Kemba's home/road splits...

Home: 26.2 points on 51% from the field, 52% from three, 2 TO
Road: 18.4 points on 38% from the field, 21% from three, 2.9 TO

We're 4-1 at home, 1-6 on the road

Those numbers suggest to me that he cost us this game.


Not at all man.
Really? Cause that is seriously one of the worse stat lines I've ever seen.

Who would we say had the worst game tonight / is most responsible for the loss?


You're sort of right about Dwight, but it was partially about his usage rather than his effort especially late in the game. We turned the ball over two straight possessions late in the game trying to feed Dwight, lord knows why, but even before that ugly stetch multiple possessions in the 4th quarter after he came back off the bench were focused far too heavily on trying to get a low-percentage baby hook. Cliff has to give the inside-out fetish a **** rest, unless he's talking drive/kick.

No particular guy blew this game, it was an ensemble effort. Dwight couldn't do anything when we force-fed him, Frank was scorching early but then completely disappeared, Monk shot like Steph Curry except for the making it part, Cody shot free throws like Dwight , Kemba was 1/10 from the field heading into crunch time, Cliff probably can't even adjust his rearview mirror much less our late-game strategy, and that's just what stuck out. Basically everyone but Bacon disappointed terribly in the second half.

Only positive thing I can say is we're hovering around .500 with Batum out. Maybe when we get him back the ball moves and things smooth out.

Dwight shouldnt be force fed at all unless he has a small player on him, he lacks offensive skill.

With batum back hopefully he cam be the glue guy and create passing opportunities for guys cutting and or drive and kick.
