We're going to hold them below 100. In the first half. Maybe.

At least Ferguson's trade value is intact. And I was told the offense didn't move because Westbrook. Seems he's not the common denominator either, but someone else on the bench is.

Utah/GSW may be entertaining.

Somebody tell PG Ingles isn't guarding him anymore.

Alright, 0-2 it is.

When does Russ come back?

What is happening? Zero communication on D. The lack of shooting on this team has to be addressed its so painful

2-12 from our “big 2”. What a masterful game plan by coach D.

I don’t think George is good enough to even be the second best player on a championship team. I love the guy and I’m glad he stayed but he’s much closer to Tobias Harris than Kawhi Leonard.

Depends on the day, but also we've not managed to get near as much from him as he's shown he can give you.

Probably Russ's fault /green

All things considered 7 points is nice.

Is there anyone in the world that didn’t think Felton was shooting a three? A couple of nice moves from Noel.

Noel has come in and done a great job. Adams and 2Pat disnt look like they wanted to be there.

They didn’t get the ball passed to them. I wouldn’t want to be there too.

our offensive issues in a nutshell?

patterson in for six minutes, not a single touch on the perimeter.

grant in for two possessions, gets two isos.

george has been given too much freedom. every team he was on in indiana had a lot of structure offensively. george doesn't like that, and admitted this summer that he prefers an offense that is free flowing, doesn't have plays, because he's not really good at that part. but he actually is pretty good at that part, but thinks he is better improvising like the other stars.

If schroder had Russ's size and hops he'd lead the league in dunks.
