    Knock on wood but we haven’t blown big leads this season. Seems in past seasons, it happened all the time.

    They're just playing the only kind of defense that Stotts knows. Make more shots and outscore the opponent.

    I can’t tell if we are trying to switch everything. Seems like the whole team is confused as well.

    I guess we can’t blame Melo for the shitty defense tonight. I wonder who we can blame…

    Nurk is turning into Jokic. Never seen him so under control and deliberate in the paint.

    They counted that pass from Kanter (to DJJ) as an assist.

    That's quite a liberal use of the phrase.
