    Btw, dawn on anyone that the reason we've allowed so many points is because 3 games went to OT?

    To an extent, but we have still given up way too many points in a per 48 minute.

    Exactly. Plus, the defense doesn't pass the almighty "eye test". Anyone can watch us play and notice that 80% of the time, it looks terrible. We have spurts of good defense, so at least there is a foundation there to build on.

    I'm only tuning in for a possible Layman sighting. Hate road back to backs.

    I'm going to keep saying this, but if stotts is going to insist on this defensive scheme, we better find a center that can handle it, since it's almost entirely dependent on one that can shut down the paint.

    I mean a trade is pretty much guaranteed. So far it's looking like we're too deep as a team. Stotts is trying to find a rotation and this Aminu injury has just fucked that up.

    Since Aminu has gone down our starting four has changed almost every game (maybe Ed is finally taking hold of it)--that also means different bench players are playing each night. One game Meyers plays, then he sits, and Vonleh takes over. Back and forth and you can't get in a rhythm as a player let alone as a unit with the constant unsure if you're playing or not.

    A trade will clear up the lines and settle to a playoff 9 man rotation.

    We got this. No problem.

    Cleveland will be overconfident.

    And out of synch after such a long break!

    Bron probably gained 10 pounds since their last game. Out every night drinking like an Oden.

    Yeah, that's the ticket!

    Hell is listening to these Cavs broadcasters. Hands down the worst in the league. Not even close.

    Luckily, we're hitting shots too. We'll be ok.

    These Cleveland announcers are quite annoying.

    What's with Love; I think he just got up his confidence seeing who was guarding him.
