Lose this and could have a legit 6 game losing streak with Portland, SAS, and GSW up next.

If we lose this then there's no chance we win a game in the playoffs
β€œIf you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

Just realized they haven't won a road game since 1/26.

3rd game in 4 nights. Hard to be optimistic about this one as a fan. Dallas tends to be real disciplined on the defensive end and they'll force Russ to take shots. But he's a cyborg and we've watched him work miracles all season. Tbqh I'm just looking forward to our bench center Tunisia/Turkey matchup and who talks the most trash in their native tongue. Remember when Salah said some **** to Pop and Timmy? I wish there was a youtube compilation of anonymous no name rotation dudes talking trash to legends.

If we play like we've played after the ASB, we'll lose this one as well.

Running into bad teams at the wrong time. I could easily see us taking another loss tonight. Can't let these guys get to the basket with ease. Adams has to play some defense because Noel looks great. Thunder need to come out with some fire tonight, after that lackluster performance.

After the Phoenix game, I kind of dropped my expectations for the rest of the year. It they win by 20 or lose by 20, I wont really feel that different about this team going forward.

I'm not local, but haven't heard either.

I always had hope that they could make a trade, Adams or Vic would step up or we would actually play team basketball. What can I say? I'm a dreamer.

This year's all about just hanging around for the ride. I keep calling it a bridge year, it really is. If they're playing well, great, poorly not so great but my expectations for the year were around 45ish wins and a first round out. Right now that's about what it looks like.

See what they look like in a year for me.

There is no way we have this many incompetent players. Our system and style of play are crap. This just doesn't add up. We can't defend and can't hit open shots.
