    This game has no business being this close. Have to do better in the third.

    This offense is gonna get snuffed out in the Playoffs. We’ll have to rely entirely on players making tough shots - coach had nothing. Hopefully Aminu can hit his open shots, and Dame can get into hero mode.

    Et, Ed, and Collins have been terrible so far. We really need more, especially from Ed. Can't afford the bench throwing away every lead we get in a few minutes.

    Their bench is killing our bench. E.T. earn that money. Zach has hit the rookie wall? Pat ... oh well.

    Yeah. The lack of an extra shooter is still pretty easy to see. Someone for CJ and Dame to kick out to as they draw pressure. But when Aminu and Moe are hitting their threes we look so much better.

    Trouble was we still were getting some good shots, but none of them fell - and then we didn't get back on defense. Our defense was so good in the first, gave them way too many good looks in the second.

    Dame needs to have himself a second half, he’s cooled a bit the past week. Time to go apeshit imo.
