    Every time Nurk is trying to get position in the post they have at least one extra defender just camping under the basket.

    CJ has 13 points on 17 shots. Game over right there regardless of who we play. Dame's already out and CJ is shooting us out of it.

    You don't make entry passes north to south. That's something I learned in high school. Silly.

    lot of turnovers because no one same Dame can seem to make a good entry pass to nurk.

    He's definitely struggling but there's still 16 minutes to play. Let's see if he can turn it around.

    I feel like we've lost all the momentum from that winning streak. No good vibes or energy anymore. It's sad.

    Even if he does, he's dug the hole for us so deep that it won't matter.

    Yup. He's -21 as well. Worst in the game.

    He can't. He's not good enough to be a #1 option. He can't run a team and can't control the offense against pressure. That's why he's struggling. He isn't Dame, and can't handle anywhere close to Dame's responsibility. Not only that, but he can't even defend at Dame's level.

    Meanwhile Shabazz is playing himself out of a contract. Baldwin is a better player, and it's obvious.

    Baldwin apparently watches CJ and Aminu too much when they do the 1 on 5 fast break.

    Reality check in the form of losses will do that to you. This team needs major work, and a winning streak against a bunch of mediocre teams and teams with major injuries was a smoke screen to reality.

    Harden is the biggest bitch in the league. I have zero respect for his game.

    We had Dame, Mo, and Ed during that win streak. Our D took a hit when Mo went down.
