Here we go again

OKC and Houston on the road next 3 days. Really makes those last 2 losses at home hurt even more. We really really needed those 2 home wins. Any update on injuries? Really hoping Frank Batum and Lamb will be ready to go. I don't see us having a chance unless all 3 are healthy. Even then I still think we get blown out lol

Until I start seeing real changes, I really don't care at this point if we win or not. I don't want to see us win games here and there with the same useless strategy.

A victory for me would be seeing any of the following cracks in the Clifford/Silas armor:

Stop pretending like Batum provides an ounce of value right now. Bench him until he's 100% healthy - he's not doing us or himself any good.

Start pretending to defend the three (back off of the defensive rebounding nonsense)

Stop consistently initiating offense through the low post.

Bench Dwight when the opposing team is PNRing us to tears.

When you get the ball - If you're open, shoot it (immediately). If you're not, pass it (immediately). When you're off the ball, move or screen (immediately). If you're incapable of doing any of this you get benched.

No more contested or late-shot-clock ISO jumpers. The way our team is built we should be constantly cutting and driving to the rim (MKG, Lamb, Kemba all excel at this). This stagnating around the perimeter with no cutters thing is beyond maddening.

PG13 questionable tonight. Going to be some interesting match-ups for sure. We tend to make bad players look good, but with Melo, I think that may be impossible.

On a related note, whose the worst contract right now, Melo or Batum?

Batum is out, looks like Frank and Lamb are playing

Batum has two extra years and he's already the worse player....

the only team that's playing as far below their standard as we are. I fully expect them to put it all together tonight because that's what teams do against us

The Hornets had three rookies, a backup point guard, and a journeyman on the court at the same time for several minutes against the Lakers. I know there are a lot of injuries, but there is no reason not to stagger the rotations.

Watching Russell Westbrook is always fun.

This is our best starting lineup minus not being able to swap a injured Cody for Dwight.

MKG is everywhere so far. He's such an asset.

If he added at least a 33% 3pter to his arsenal he could be a borderline all-star.

Big IF.

Blew that lead quickly by giving up a barrage of 3s but what’s new.

We've got to limit Howard's touches. He's so slow to get back on defense when he gets blocked.

We can’t let Felton beat us

I’ve had enough of frank and his crappy turnaround jumpers. You’re 7 foot and can’t post up Felton?

Bench offence is terrible
