    ...CJ is turning into black hole, like we are watching dueling heroes out there instead of teammates. Awesome stuff, hope they can pull this out!

    You're implying we had an inside presence with Nurkic in the game earlier.

    I don't think we are bi-polar; we are usually talking about two different guys.

    I'm done with Terry. He's a fine coach, but sometimes you need a new voice in the locker room.

    Was thinking that before tonight, but you know Stotts won't make any actual adjustments until we are down by 3 games.

    Zach Collins rushing a 3 from the corner with AD contesting him is a great shot out of the timeout Terry

    I'd like to see us try to push the pace a little when Davis misses and lingers under the basket because he's pissed he didn't get a call. It's literally the only time he's not standing directly under the rim on defense.

    Been thinking it for some time. I thought the way Stotts sometimes test rookies in bigger roles (like he did with Caleb earlier in the year), I thought we’d have seen it weeks ago.

    LOL. Zach was fouled twice on that drive, but luckily Harkless was there. Mirotic hacked him and Davis jumped into him.

    Calm down. He is first team of you look at his season as a whole. He’s getting schemed against. We aren’t doing the same for holiday. Chill

    Sometimes I feel like the team is playing to get their coach fired.

    This is our best lineup, and it's not even close.

    This is heart wrecking and please mind I need to spend 8 hours at work after this as it’s before 7 am here. Haven’t slept for a minute tonight.

    Stotts teams have never been good at the fast break, that has been a very frustrating thing in his tenure here. No matter the personnel.
