Win the 1st, tie the 2nd, lose the 3rd and lose the 4th. Hasn't that been a regular story this season against bad teams? This team is so frustrating. Adams with only TWO shots so far! If this team had a real coach I wonder how much better they would be.

Westbrook is single handedly costing us this one.

Fan-f***ing-tastic quarter. Our 11 point halftime lead is down to one whole point heading to the fourth quarter.

It’s frustrating to repeatedly look in the paint and see Felton matched up against Powell and Noel.

I’ve never seen a player like Russ. He looked so good I’m the first half. He comes out in the second half and makes bad passes and gives up two dunks to Barnes by reaching for a steal.

Stifling defense. I'd rather just have Felton get beaten off the pick by his man. Then at least there would still be a big to contest it.

Getting outscored 38-23 this half by the 19-42 Mavericks...a terrible team we've already lost to twice this year.

I hate this team.

Some games, Russ needs to be benched. This is one of those games.

Looks like Billy is going to leave Melo in for the final play. Brilliant.

Well, at least we avoided three losses to the now 19-43 Mavericks this season. It took a one point overtime win and a terrible second half to do so, but hey, at least it's a win against a sub-.500 team which hasn't come easy for us this year.
