Hard to believe we're at game 40...One more game and we're half way into the season.

Disappointing to say the least.

Time to buy a lottery ticket. 5 quarters without a turnover.

Not a lot of defense being played out there. Both teams playing in slow motion.

Bradley and Monk are on fire tonight--both 6-7, with 16 and 15 points, respectively. Too bad Bradley picked up his third foul trying to defend Trae Young.

THT is probably gone. Dude just doesn't fit this team just like Westbroke.

Never been a fan of this small ball nonsense. Don’t enjoy watching 5 guys on the perimeter on offense and zero interior defense. D’antoni is a true pioneer. I’ve said it before… Ariza is washed. Dude is simply useless out there. THT is only marginally better. If I’m the opposing team I’d sag 3’ off THT and dear him to shoot it.

Seems like every team they play knows they can just pack the paint whenever THT is out there. Getting that Westbrook treatment. Really discouraged with his progress.

I think they imagine this small ball line up with AD at the C position. Maybe that will help the rebounding issue we're having. The question is can AD's body handle playing C? That's the real question... Otherwise this small ball stuff is going to cause a lot of issues the 2nd half of the season.

THT looking like last year’s THT.
Monk on fire.
Bradley solid as can be on D and giving production on offense.
And LBJ just unstoppable when we need him.

Let’s go Lakers! :clap: :clap: :clap:

That was really, really fun. Their habits are so much better.

The offense is night and day compared to two months ago. So much movement, spaced floor, beautiful.

Just curious to see what we do against good teams.
