    We gotta play better defense. That was garbage.

    The problem with this offense is we need two high volume lights out scorers to go with Nurk's production and some effective wings. But got one Kyrie Irving type and a Vinnie Microwave Johnson type. I just don't know if both can co-exist and expect is to improve as a contender. There HAS to be a higher ceiling to this team!

    In the last 12 games, Dame has 6 games with 4 or more TO's with one game of 6 and another with 7. Does seem a little looser as of late.

    He's shooting them weird, like he's releasing it low and early.

    We should be ecstatic at the score to be honest, we need another Utah game 3rd quarter.

    Feels like we're down more - just like last night. Make some shots early and get in a rhythm.

    Have to win the 3rd quarter by 8 or more or it's a Loss.

    What’s better/worse being a team who NEVER coughs up a game when leading after 3 or being a team who never makes a comeback after being down after 3? I’m gonna say it’s better to never cough one up because there have been more of them.

    I now know why you watch all that replay footage making those Youtube videos and get so angry at Stotts. Maybe I'm just getting smarter when it comes to BB but I am seeing things much more clearly now.
