    It "looked" close but it never was, ever. What a pathetic last 2 and a half weeks of basketball.

    Carlisle didn't wany anything to do with terry. Stotts shook and went for a hug. Carlisle blocked and walked away.

    I really hate this starting lineup, seems way to predictable.

    Um, because Harkless was one of the positives in this game? Wrong player to bitch about this time.

    I'm not bitching about Harkless, I'm bitching about the lineup we've had since he came back, and the coaching that's non-existent and rigid.

    Yeah, he didn't want any of whatever-it-is to rub off on him. I get it.

    Dame is the only one who did anything in the 4th.

    The bench was.

    The starting five is slightly worse with Hark by the numbers and that's with Dame struggling.

    Def would give Layman another shot though.

    Stotts should go, but we all know he’s safe. Best we can hope for is a lineup change. I’d go

    Dame
    CJ
    Stauskas
    Collins
    Nurkic

    Trent
    Turner
    Harkless or Layman
    Aminu
    Leonard

    We actually play 3 QT of decent defense but the 1st QT was the killer. I give it to Dame never give up on trying to win the game and Aminu with double double and it was his 3 straight game that he look good. Stotts need to do something with that 2nd unit it just not working no more. Curry is not good it time see a fresh face to take his minutes.
