A sign of the times/team: my only hope for tonight is that the game is at least a competitive, watchable game. That's all I'm asking for.

Looking ahead though, out next 5 games are against sub .500 eastern conference teams.

The thing is, if we were even a decent defensive squad, we should defeat this team rather easily. Instead, no one can seemingly guard Kevin Martin. Hopefully, Gay gets that assignment and we win.

Close game at the half. Randolph and Gay are really the only ones producing for us offensively. Not shocking though.

Another big game for Zach. Conley had a good shooting game as well, 7-11 from the field. 17 Points.

Big game from Z-Bo and the bench. Mayo played some pretty good defense and made plays in the open court, Conley kept the game close with his big 3rd quarter, Gay struggled after the 1st but came up clutch in 4th. Thabeet having a pretty good stretch by giving decent minutes and had 5 pts 6 rbs 1 blk and a stl, I think he might have learned that jumping for rebounds=good because he's been pulling those boards down in traffic the last couple of games. Marc needs to get his stuff together, my goodness he has just been subpar for the last month or so
