This team has played like crap since the Houston game. I’ve got this one on the dvr. I’m done with this.

Offense hasn't be that bad but we are playing some terrible defense since the Houston game. We only won against the Wolves because Gallo and SGA were on fire.

yeah we started playing some good basketball but it was too late. Don't know why defense had been so lazy lately :(

Not worried though. It's not like we can't defend. Our team is overperforming on offense and underperforming on defense.

Need Steven and Nerlends back if we want our defense to be better. Muscala/Patton isn't going to work too well I think.

Plus minus of the starters last night was nuts. So weird to have TFerg at minus 23 but CP at plus 17 and Gallo at plus 8.
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point. :D
