Our offensive problems might be exaggerated.

Looks like Nix is now ahead of JMcL and WM Jr. Maybe he can develop into a bench 3rd guard. It's also good that Morris is getting some non-pressured minutes to get himself back in shape.

No our opponents defense is what it is.

That is true, but can you really call it defense?

Moore was inactive. I think they probably prioritized Morris over McLaughlin.

This game pushed us into 2nd place in point differential ranking. BOS at 10.1, MIN 7.3, OKC 7.2. We are now bottom 13th in points score (climbed from bottom 9th 2 weeks ago). So great progress before the all star break. Makes it extra fun. Don't want to be a Bucks fan right now.

After all star break, we will have a bunch of tough games until end of season: 3 DEN, 2 LAC, Bucks, 2 LAL, 2 CLE, ... not going to be easy to keep the #1 seed.

Not easy, but I expect us to take care of business and git r dun.

I think Karl needs some love in this one. He only shot 13 shots and still scored 23. He consistently lets himself play 2nd or 3rd fiddle, and could be scoring much more than 22.6 per game. As great as Ant is, he is lucky that Karl is as good natured and unselfish as he is. This is a great environment for Ant to develop.

Easy win against a team playing not well. WE take care of the business. Time for a good rest and get ready to keep our position.

I'd like to get those Lakers wins, a lot of people feel like the Lakes will beat us in a playoff series, I'd like to put that notion to bed with convincing wins.
