What has really changed from last season? I guess we can't expect Gary Neal to light it up like Rasual did last season.

Rasual was a useful player in the first half of the season, much better than Neal is now. The main difference is Beal is currently our best player, last year he was a very average SG.

True. I'm not expecting Neal to shoot 50% from 3 like Butler did last season during the first month of the season.

Yup, the team that leads the NBA in turnovers per game is...."Representing the most powerful city in the world...."

Our next opponent, OKC, is #2.

Blaze has been a godsend in the replacement of Carroll so far this season, a lot of people will be repeating you verbatim as I sit in astonishment at the misusage of knowledge

Wall and Beal are averaging a combined 8.5 turnovers per game. Team is last in the league in turnovers. WTF are they doing in practice?

Hard to cheer for this sort of lackadaisical effort.


total agreement

We didn't deserve to win. In retrospect, I'm surprised the game was close for as long as it was.

One other thing, the refs sucked tonight.
