    Just sloppy ball on both ends and I guess if we didn't know better we could chalk that up to being down two starters but we've been telegraphing passes and not making others with enough intention and we've also seen stretches like this on D where the discipline and effort just isn't enough.

    Sharpe looks good, but also still a Rookie.

    Good defense by sharp at the end of the quarter. Moving his feet and staying on the ground not going for ball fakes. This kid is maturing before our eyes.

    I like that both Nurk and Drew can hit free throws. I know it’s a little thing but I really don’t like bigs that can’t go to the line.

    nurk sits out, our rim defense goes to shit.

    this has been the case for the past few years yet fans fail to recognize all he does for us on that end of the floor

    This seems so obvious to me that we need to run plays for him especially cutting plays he usually makes smart passes as well.

    He protects the paint as well as anyone else in the league... he might not get the blocks but he doesn't have to in order to keep people away from the rim.

    Nassir turning into a reliable jump shooter was an unexpected development

    We still have more weapons and can win this type of game - but HAVE to cut down on the turnovers since we aren't going to get the stops we've been getting.

    Wow what are the statistical chances of two four point plays in a row?
