    What makes you think playing defense isn't hard? I think you could make a case playing man to man defense is the hardest thing in the NBA to do.

    Stotts gave him COVID and then refused to play him when he had it. Unacceptable!

    Dwight and Stotts getting into a nice pissing match in the post game conference. Both came across poorly.

    They won't because Stotts is the coach.

    As I've said, this coach has had a trove of talent. He just refuses to use it.

    He was playing Anthony Tolliver in front of Nassir Little. Think about that for a second.

    Maybe hard wasn't the right word. Defense isn't difficult to play in the sense that it's significantly easier to just do nothing than it is to play passable defense.

    Stotts seems a bit defensive in the post game interview.

    Tolliver and Little didn't play the same position...we used Tolliver as an undersized center/power forward...Hezonja played Nas position

    But Dwight Jaynes doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

    "Accidently" turned off the game before the end.

    We won right?

    Dwight prefaced his question incorrectly, Stotts didn't want to answer the main question, so he corrected his mistake, Dwight then got defensive and started to editorialize in an attempt to belittle Stotts. They both came off looking unprofessional in my opinion.

    Nas played some 4. Go back and look.

    Tolliver took minutes from Little.

    I am going to take two positives from tonight's game. #1 obviously was Little's scoring. He was really starting to come on before the season was shut down last year. Nice to see him getting some run. #2 Ant has 15 assists in 16 games this season and 5 were tonight. Ant actually passed the ball tonight.

    I ended up missing most of the game because I was on a phone call...

    We gave up 46 fucking points in the first quarter? God damn. 79 in the half and were down 36 after 3?

    But we're fine.....

    If the other team scores 70 by halftime...we're screwed....I've stuck with this ...I knew we were screwed going into the third....69 is the cutoff point......that's what she said
