    Sure seems like some of the players may have celebrated last nights win a bit too hard. Bazz has been god awful on both ends.

    Yet we’re down only 10

    This is how stupid we're playing:

    CJ could've had last shot, instead shot a floater with 10 seconds left, missed it, and it led to CP3 FTs.

    That was the dumbest half of Blazer basketball I've ever watched.

    Something about Dame and CJ playing together... they just default to ISO ball... It just drives me crazy!

    Every Time we have the Ball with under 24 seconds Left to play in the quarter, CJ Shoots with 10 seconds left. That's so fucking stupid and gives opponent a Chance to score

    If I was Stotts I'd be extremely pissed at the combined lack of effort and stupidity of that half.

    Have a chance to beat SAS, OKC, and HOU all in a row, and we are playing bad in the worst type of way. Missing open shots is excusable, because sometimes they don't fall. There's been 20-25 plays this game that are just inexcusable and horrible.

    We should be down 30. That was the worst half of the season in terms of shooting ourselves in the foot.

    Good thing there's 2 halfs to a game. We still have time to turn it around after some changes and maybe a pep talk.

    Are you watching the game...??? When Shabazz and CJ are in the game, it's been even worse than when Dame and CJ are in the game.

    I know you like to bash that pairing, but don't make stuff up to do so. The whole team is defaulting to ISO ball, it's not because of that pairing.

    It's not on the refs. Every foul call against us has been the correct call.

    I'm not saying they're biased. I'm saying there's a ton of calls. That's a Scott Foster special-- he needs to have his presence felt

    It’s definitely because of that pairing... selfish play is contagious.

    No it's not. Selfish play isn't "contagious". You get subbed in for a guy who's hypothetically "playing selfish", it doesn't mean you have to play selfish. If anything, you should be able to see how the hypothetically "selfish" play is hurting the team from the bench and be able to make the adjustments when you get subbed in.

    Dame has 5 shots attempts and 3 assists on 14 minutes played. How is that selfish? Damian is being far from selfish. CJ is known to be a selfish player. I don't understand how you could blame it on the pairing as the reason the entire team is running a stagnant offense with tons of ISO ball.
