Expected a 22 point win. The way this game went, honestly, they should've won by 35-40 with how bad we played early in the game (laziness motly). They let them stay relatively in the game for like 3 quarters before putting the boots to them.
At least it looks like we won't allow them to score 80 points, barring some pathetic defensive meltdown in these last 2 minutes.
Still no Manu, but at least Leonard's back now. So we've go almost the whole team on the floor today! First time in awhile. . .Hope Splitter and TJ get closer to full game form. We're gonna need them for the next 3 games. Nuggets, Knicks, Clippers. Nuggets just had a great game, so that's gonna be tough. I don't expect much trouble from the overrated Knicks, but the Clippers might pose a strong challenge since they likely want to make up for getting crushed by us twice this year already.
Bitch slapping a team by 35 is gonna make our team ratings look a lot better too. Always nice when we get to play those god awful eastern conference teams. Really inflates our offensive and defensive ratings. Just imagine if we played in the east and got to play scrub teams like this 3-4 times a year instead of just 1-2! We'd be among the best in the NBA in defensive and offensive rating every year regardless of our team health.
