We have problems that are so much deeper than just missing Huerter and Collins. Just an incredibly flawed basketball team.

Holly molly, Kobe's 81 pt game might be in danger tonight, lol

Alright, I hope Rockets sit out Harden in the 4th, it's getting ridiculous. Harden gets fouled in the act of shooting 40 ft from the basket. #hilarious

Wallace, ET, Bembry, and Hunter are 3-26.

Players scoring fewer than 10 points are 11-44.

Trae Young playing half the fourth quarter on the second night of a back to back after playing 43 mins last night and with another game coming up in two days down 50 is truly one of the dumbest things I can imagine.

it’s genuinely a different team when Trae sits for any amount of time. we are in desperate need of a competent secondary ballhandler. this is sad.

Yeah let the kid rest up for the upcoming games at that point. Wearing him down in a blowout is an interesting decision.
