I didn't think we were good enough to go beat 2 bad teams on the road. But, was really expecting at least a split. Very disappointing. Needed to get at least 1.

I understand your point. I don't disagree. But, he was on fire and a big reason we got back into the game. I had no problem with them calling the play for him.

We remain a very young team, no big deal. :)

Away court disadvantage in the playoffs is good enough for me. We need to have some targets left we can reach next year or else the negativity circle will arrive too quickly. Small steps :)

Booker will help us in the short run and hopefully GRob will help us in the long run.

@ Milwaukee on Friday. A loss to them drops us into a tie for the 5th seed. 76ers could join the party with a win tonight. Things are getting tight at the bottom of the playoff race. Was hoping that we could get these 2 wins and stay in the upper half of the East.

didn't you mean 6th? we already dropped out of tie with Washington for 4 & 5.

Philly did win to pull within half a game but the good news is they dropped the Cavs a half game closer.

This team just doesn’t look the same without Collison. Even Oladipo looks fatigued having a higher workload in his absence.

When does Collison get back? Wasn’t he originally projected to return right after the All Star break?

he was on the floor taking warm up shots before the game but the announcers said he wasn't expected to play this weekend.
