    Elleby should get a shot in the rotation over Simons until Nas gets back. If nothing else, you get a better defender.

    The 1st was about a average on the defense end and then here comes the 2nd unit everything went to shit on that end. Dame looks aggressive early on in this game.

    Yeah, there's some exaggeration, but someone really needs to teach Ant the fundamentals. Right now Ant is what you show to people when you want to show how not to play defense, on every possession type.

    God is Nas injured again? What’s up with that guy? For a dude who barley plays he has the most mysterious injuries

    I'm sorry. There is no fucking reason to have four bad defenders on the court at the same time. None.

    Jones, Roco, Nurk, Powell... two of them should be on the court at all times. None of this Melo, Kanter, Simons, Dame/CJ shit. Come on Terry.

    Fire.

    Stotts.

    Not unlike the first 13 games when we had Nurk and CJ. When you have lineups that put 4 hugely negative defenders on the floor you will give up points on almost every possession.

    The good news is I convinced myself before it started that this game would be as close as all the others.

    The offense isn’t much better, it’s 4 guys standing and one is dribble the ball to death and take a bad contested shot. Our offense and defense is gonna get killed in the postseason.
