Excellent first half.

This is so bad all I'm left with is to laugh at our own ineptitude.

At least they're playing hard. These turnovers are just unbearable though.

They aren’t playing hard. They are taking lazy shots, making lazy passes, etc....

If only there were an example of a current team that lost their best player to inure and managed not to fall off the face of the planet...

I know I said this after that 1-5 stretch with some truly horrific losses back in early January, but this really does feel like rock bottom. We're playing our worst basketball of the season in March.

This is going to be an ugly end to the season. We may fall out of the playoffs at this rate.

No, they'll get George back, win 6 out of 7 or something and suddenly they've "turned a corner" again. Rinse and repeat.

This team has not played consistently over a long stretch for three years.

Abdel Nader is our leading scorer.

Is russ a bad contract at this point? He’s just so far from what he used to be.

Presti has done it again! Scared minimums don’t make none.

Try to get Jrue in the offseason or trade PG13 and start the tank.
