At some point we need to take care of the ball.

If we can’t beat them without Davis in the second half that will be disappointing.

New Orleans is bad enough we might be able to turn it on in the fourth and pull it out. Right now this team is about as disciplined as a bunch of kids on the Friday before spring break.

Adams has just become a complete non factor. Either billy needs to figure out how to manage his minutes or he needs to be traded. Every freaking year he starts out strong and we just run him into the ground to the point he’s a non factor.

I hope Patterson never plays another minute. He just sucks.

We need to rest him 20 games/year or something

It’s a shame this team has just completely given up their defensive identity as soon as shots started to fall. Inevitably nights like this will happen and they are winnable games when you defend.

Adams has the best backup of any player on our team. I could understand it last year or even when we had Kanter.

Westbrook is rushing things but at least he's the only one that wants to win :(
