But I am not a fan of if you are going to play just go through the motions either..


It’s not ideal but I don’t really blame the players. We’ve had the #1 seed locked up for a while & I’m sure risk of injury is in the back of their mind.

I also find it dumb to play but not play hard and play to win (if that's what's happening and this isn't really who we are). Should've just sat if you're too concerned about injuries. Knicks clearly outhustling the Cs.

It's nice that we secured the best record in the league, but coasting into the finish line is not the way to do it. It may well bite us in the ass if we're not playing the right way when the real games start.

I hate how teams with the reputation for being physical are allowed to do what they want.

Kinda like the Draymond being an unhinged psychopath. They just let him do him.

Cs finding it difficult to guard all the movement and speed. On top of not going after the boards.

I gotta watch that G League Final. Game 2.
I'll be switching back and forth.

Hart is one of the best role players in the league. He really is a pain in the ass

Are we still not trying or has our defense just been trash lately?

I think we need to play 3 or even 4 centers to get a rebound
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:
