    Something is going on behind the scenes. The team doesn’t seem engaged defensively and they seem really uninterested out there

    I see they're in mid-season form, for a Stotts coached team. Play crappy at home against teams they shouldn't lose to.

    Paul Allen picked a bad time to leave us. Terry needs to be fired, and nobody is going to do it now.

    Orlando is playing well. Warriors needed 49 from Durant to beat them. We need to guard the perimeter in the second half and we’ll be ok. Our three point shot is falling.

    Giving up almost 60% shooting....after 2 days off and a loooong film session. This is NOT the response I was hoping for after a 3-game losing streak. This year looks like last year which looked like the year before.

    I don’t get some of you. You think we suck but at the same time think we should beat teams like Orlando. Are we good or not?

    The last time I looked we don't have Durant playing for us.

    We have been sucking against good to very good teams. No matter what, I expect them to beat the sucky Magic at home when Orlando is playing it's 3rd game in 4 nights.

    Yeah, the last few seasons have kind of just blended together.

    Beyond ready for a significant shakeup of some kind.

    Looks like Portland needs to play some defense.
    Sauce 5-8 from three? Well role players do play better @ home than away.

    Orlando is not sucky. They’re loaded with young talent and will probably make playoffs. Over the season, we have not sucked against good teams. We have a very good record against .500 or better teams. Despite losing to Bucks & Clippers recently, we did beat them earlier in season.

    Exactly. That’s why Orlando is tough for us. They’re a very good team.
