I don't understand our free throw struggles. Even as Russ has rounded into form he still can't hit them.

there's no one we can put at sg, probably not a person in the nba, who can make up for carmelo anthony at pf defensively. andre roberson one of the few. they need to bench melo if they are going to field a competent defense.

At this point we might as well rest him. He's been so bad that grant might be an upgrade. (Let's not fool ourselves into thinking Billy would start Patterson).

Listening to George before the game he speaks of Melo like he’s an allstar.

We haven't even tried Russ, PG, Melo, Patterson, Adams starting lineup and it baffles me.

open jumpers are not falling since that cleveland game. a few days off should help there.

Westbrook just watching KCP shoot the three. It's like losing Robes took all the life out of the team, not just playing bad but playing uninspired.

Also the play before that Adams leaves Lopez wide open to double in the corner from one pass away. That's just dumb basketball.

Randle missed the layup, but melo doesn't even bother jumping to challenge. This team is done.

We're lucky the Lakers are so trash. We're done.

We've had six straight horrible defensive possessions. 4 wide open threes and two layups.
