    Watching this team play defense is like watching a 1950's team play a modern day team. And no, not in the sense that the 1950's team found a time machine and are all in their primes...I'm talking about a 1950's team today.

    That Dame can't stay in front of CP3 and if you let CP3 get to the lane and score/distribute to others, you'll be in for a long night.

    CP3 in the lane or Booker in the post; pick your poison.

    This is the kind of game where it could be over real quick.

    Nice that the refs aren’t buying those CP3 flops on the defensive end

    Why are we putting Dame on Booker on purpose?

    The game has a bad feel from the very beginning. Hopefully we can buckle down and get locked in.

    Agreed. It feels like this game should be double digits. Covington is pissing away possessions left and right.

    6 turnovers this quarter and only down by 3. But wonder what adjustment is Stotts going try to do to slow down booker.

    I don’t know, maybe put the lengthy, elite wing defender you acquired in the offseason on Booker???

    We are playing like garbage and down 3. Just stop throwing the ball away and we are winning.

    Don't put Dame on CP3. Just stick him on Kaminsky or Bridges who are just catch and shoot guys. Don't know why they're wasting RoCo on Kaminsky. Are they really going to post up Kaminsky or Bridges on Dame? Hell no.

    RoCo is the new Nurk, in terms of getting struck in the face

    We've got the team with the most injuries vs the team with the least. Would only be fitting!

    From turnovers and miss free throws is a difference right now.

    Imagine if we were as committed to defense as we are to giving Melo shots.
