Hard to achieve consistency when every minor injury will lead to the player not playing.

Guess it is what it is.

So expecting another dominant regular season, like last season, is not likely.

C's been better on the road than at home. And other than the Cavs and OKC, we have the best record against .500-and-above teams. Maybe we get up for this one, we shall see. Let's get the W. And it's not baby talk, Can't Wose!

Can't let Gobert get 20 rebounds again, like the last time they met in Boston.

No Cookies and cream, so JT and PP will have to be Butter pecan.

It has to be JT and PP because PP dropping 20 or more has a bigger impact than White putting up 20 or more.

My bad, Cs beat Houston, at Houston, last season.

So Cs need 2 wins on this road trip to better last season's losses at Denver, Minny, and OKC.

Hauser is a disaster. Take him out, Joe. Every breakdown involved him.
