I really like our shot selection, we are taking very good shots and moving the ball long enough to create them.


Yeah second half is where this is going to get interesting. Everyone has to be involved. Unless Russ decides to evolve into Beastbrook again.

The real reason that Presti cut Singler was because he had his replacement. PG is the new Kyle Singler!

Honestly, the whole Singler meme is getting old.

Partly, yes.

But, for our team, I think there is way more ball movement than I've ever seen. Sadly we will never move the ball like Utah, San Antonio and likes, but for what I've seen in the past of us I'm impressed by it.

Defensively, yes. But also, our guys are hitting the great looks and making tough shots.

In my opinion they play pretty well, they have lots of talent, and I hope they can use it (but not today).

I would say we have a lead more rather because we are good than because Washington is bad.

Apparently, for Steven Adams, taking a jab to the face is NOT a foul on the opposing team.

Thing is, Adams didn't flop/throw his head back to exaggerate the contact, but he definitely got jabbed in the face (not a full blown punch) and then gave the refs a death stare after he made the basket.

I didn't get home and start watching until about halfway through the 2nd quarter, but Wetsbrook's activity and anticipation on defense has been fantastic during this stretch.

2 back to back bull calls on Adams. Adams is playing straight up defense on Howard. Smh.

Of course Dwight Howard, who hasn't played in a game all year, comes out against us and goes 2009-2011 on our a**es. If it wasn't for him, we'd be up by 30.

Which is hilarious since Adams literally took a jab/punch to the face a few minutes ago and it wasn't a foul.

When is the last time we've had an individual quarter, even during the KD days, as dominant as the 2nd quarter of tonight's game and the 3rd quarter of the Clippers game a few nights ago?
