We're not taking them seriously, hence the lack of multiple efforts on defense.

How can we not take them seriously? They kicked out butts last time we played.

Russ pisses me off with his free throw shooting.

Because they are a bad team. Just look at how we just let them blow by, don't help the helper or don't box out.

They haven't been a bad team for about a month now. They're around .500 after an awful start. This should be a win, but its not "not taking them seriously".

Russ is a big part of that. He’s not staying with him man and Adams is getting matched up with every maverick player on a possession. Russ is playing well offensively but he isn’t doing it on both ends.

Can we get a scrub team who shoots like a scrub team? If we shot like this we'd be the best offense in the league.

What did we do to NBA officials to make them hate us?

A few things.
We aren’t playing good defense.
Teams do not miss shots against us.
We are getting the bad end of all the calls tonight.

Can we defend a PnR for once?

Ferguson hustles. I like this kid. He looks like a gazelle.

This is one of those games in which we way over switch defensively. Felton just switched onto Dirk off the ball. Why?!

Felton is playing more and more like Russ.

Robes or no, I can't believe Abrines is still getting minutes tonight after his last two games.

Every loose ball doesn’t bounce our way.

Dirk going through a "turn back the clock 7 years" renaissance 4th quarter tonight because he's playing the Thunder.
