Literally the single thing they should have an advantage at they're being killed.

Presti said he was happy with the progress Adams has made this year. That's our future.

Just feels like the 3-ball will start falling for the Rockets in the second half and they'll pull away and end up winning by 15-20.

Is now a good time to mention we're 25th in the NBA in average third quarter scoring margin?

Doesn't matter. We're also the best offensive rebounding team, but have no 2nd chance points. We're the 3rd best defensive rebounding team, but we've given up 21 2nd chance points.

None of that seems to matter today.

Never doubt Donovan's inability to make adjustments or get the team fired up.

At least Adams is good for something.

If I see Adams guarding harden again at the top of the key, I may throw my remote through the tv.
