    Our assistant coach interviewed out of the half 'Just gotta keep battling - WE ARE IN GOOD SHAPE'.

    What the absolute fuck?

    These slow starts are so frustrating. They have become so repetitive and pervasive that you can literally see them developing just 2-4 possessions into the game. Yet Chauncey is always slow to react and waits until it balloons into double digits.

    Even with him going nuclear we've only cut the lead by 8 - but the trajectory is good.

    This is why it’s scary to trade Ant. Kid just needs to be more engaged consistently and cut out the bullshit lazy passes.

    4 more unanswered three's by Ant and the Blazer will lead

    Blazers still look confused as hell on defense

    I hope Billups doesn't take that it all is well.
    Having Simons go crazy doesn't make up for his team's horrible start.

    People getting on Hart but he's 4-8. Grant, on the other hand, is 1-5

    Maybe he watched our Summer League team get a title doing exactly the same - massively outscored in the first quarter, then charge back. Almost every single game.

    Well I started watching in the second half and it seems to be working, so I will continue.

    LoL…..Keep developing around Dame because it’s working out so well. You wouldn’t want to take any chances on trading some of youth for some veterans to go with it. Dame.

    Well get it to 10 and then give up a 5-0 run out of the timeout. Not ideal.

    This is how we have to win against this team. Hit a bunch of threes.
