    How can anyone not enjoy this game? They're young, and figuring shit out...So much potential with this team.

    Hey, if they hadn't choked their FTs, this would be a 2 point game.

    Yep

    92% free shooter can't make a free throw then chucks a brick three.

    So with a minute left and down 6 Chauncey pulls Shsrpe and puts in scoot while Ant who is a 93% free throw shooter misses both free throws.
    Tell me that isn’t a tank move right there?

    There are parts that are enjoyable, but some are also frustrating. At least it wasn't a throttling.

    Inexplicable if not for tanking?

    I guess that’s a “Good” loss?

    Another loss at the free throw line...we shot under 60% from the stripe....too many points left at the line game after game.

    I am fine with that loss. A totally win-able game.

    Not a bad performance. I'm not disappointed. Playing undermanned on the road and led much of the way and hung in until the end.

    I really wish we'd explore the idea of team offense. I don't think everything being iso or pnr serves our development. It's be interesting to find out if anyone can pass or move without the ball.

    Ant had a nice offensive game and I still think he looks like he doesn't want to be here.

    Deni playing really well. I like his game.

    Another shaky game for Sharpe. I'm not concerned yet. He's still working back after injuries. I'll give him mulligans for a couple of more weeks, especially since he did have a couple of really good games in there.

    Scoot looking like he belonged again. Just missed a double-double. But, young man, you need to learn to shoot left-handed layups. You really limit yourself on the attack when everything to the left side is going to be that right-hand inversion. I can't think of any good NBA players that were that averse to using their non-dominant hand.

    We need to use Shae the way Detroit did with Rip. He'd eat slashing, cutting, and popping.

    Yep, perfect game, some really performances and a loss. Scoot one of his best games, Deni fitting/settling in more and more, Ant plays well and helps with trade value
