    Feels like Terry only challenged that to give the refs some practice reviewing a foul call.

    I think we need to be concerned about the bench. I like Skal a lot, and Bazemore has great defense (but not great offense), but Ant looks super raw and Tolliver is literally a big fat zero.

    They hit 3s and we missed 3s. It's gonna be a rough start of the season but the road trip should be good for them.

    The good thing about the streak being over is that I'll stop feeling like we're getting jinxed like hell every home opener

    we all saw the pre-season games and they don’t look good. Need time to gel with so many new players.

    Believe whatever you like but you are wrong on that. Simons will be fine he is just young. You guys have anointed him the next Kobe Bryant or what have you. It's not me. It's that you have made him a messiah. The Kid is young. He is going to have to work on defense and you are going to see stretches like tonight where he essentially gives the lead up and Stotts has to pull him.
    Just because i have told the truth on the matter and i happen to be right is causing you to be defensive. Now you are saying i have made up my mind that i "Dislike" him. That is just childish. The kid has a couple hundred minutes for his entire career. He hasn't done enough in the league to be "DISLIKED" by me. I already told you once. Lets see where he is 20 games into the season. Then lets see where he is at 40 games. Then lets see if they even keep him next year? Give the kid a chance to fail. That is the only way he will get better.

    We lost. At home. In a game that was very winnable.

    What does that say about us?

    Here's my first game of the season overreaction - I hate CJ's game. I hated it last season. I hated it the season before last. He's a ball hog. He doesn't look to pass at all. He has no court vision and he only passes as an absolutely positively last resort. He had no business taking shots in the 4th. He was ice cold and he should have been feeding Dame and Rodney. CJ is the reason why our bench has sucked for years. We keep trying to play him as a point guard and it doesn't work. It has never worked. It never WILL work. Our team lives by the CJ and it dies by the CJ. Tonight it died by the CJ.

    Some things was good and some wasn't. Didn't shoot the ball well and had 20 turnovers in the game. Defense against the 3 wasn't good was difference in this game. Dame Whiteside Zach had solid game. Baze solid on D. Another things the 2nd only score 17 points not enough. Now we have to bounce against the kings.
