    Giving up offensive boards and second chance points is part of it, but this team's PPP defense is atrocious. It's multiple things.

    i dont usually take moral victories, and there is still a shitload of work to be done, but considering the refs and increased push on D from some of the squad, im actually more positive about the game vs. it just being a loss.

    although in saying that, it took a near career night from Plumlee to get it there.

    also shoutout to Stotts for only playing Meyers 3mins and therefore giving us a chance to win.

    pity about the calls.

    One positive. The team had some intensity tonight. I just want to see that translated into execution.

    I've had the same hunch for the last 8 games like these that has happened. I think I'm gonna stop trusting my hunches.

    5th game in 7 nights against a team that beat us by 50 last time on a road trip across three time zones. And we were a few calls/baskets away from winning? I'll take it.

    First hunch I've had this season, in a positive way anyway.

    Seriously, Denny, he can't get more blatant with the trolling.

    You're the exact opposite which is worse. Everyone would rather be around someone deliriously happy and positive then suffocating-ly negatave.

    I'm still having trouble figuring this team out. The effort is so inconsistent night to night. If they played this hard every night, they'd still be below average on defense because of personnel issues, but they'd probably have 3 or 4 games flipped into the win column.

    Hopefully they show up energized tomorrow.

    That's not enough to get rid of him apparently. I just wonder how many people have to complain to get him gone.

    You know what's more annoying than a troll? People bitching about it ad nauseum.
