Our perimeter defense is nonexistent right now. No one's staying in front of Teague and KAT is too much inside. We're hanging in but gotta stop dribble penetration.

Pathetic half of basketball on defense. Some of the worst effort I’ve seen

Oubre falls asleep within 1 second of his man catching the ball. Rather he gets a steal right away or he falls asleep

If we give up another 44 points in the paint, we won't win.

You can tell Monty got into the guys about their lack of aggression on defense. So now they decided to be aggressive with their hands...

does everyone else wish there was someone else to be a color commentator instead of AMD? She knows an order of magnitude more about basketball than I ever will, but calling a live, high-speed game just doesn't fit her.

Yes. She’s silent for 90% of the time. I imagine she’s just staring at the microphone trying to figure out what it is for most of the game

She is so much better when she isn't thinking about what to say, or how to say it better, and just talks about basketball.

The defense clicked in the second half. Bridges, I thought, was especially good tonight.
It's so nice to have Baynes back.
This is the Saric that we were happy to trade for this offseason. He plays better than you would predict based on his athleticism.
Someone else said it, but Booker has found the balance between looking for his own shot and playing in the system. He's getting to the point where he can drop a quiet 26/7.
Nice game for Oubre. He's one of the best on the team at getting to the line, and he and Dario combined for 11 fta while the rest of the team had 8.
Jerome doesn't make mistakes, but he can't pressure defenders yet. Keep working, kid.

Anytime she says a sentence with a visiting players name it’s either mispronounced or just the wrong player. She’s like clockwork. Broken clockwork.

Bridges with 9/8/4/3/2 tonight. Solid output. He’s finding his rhythm out there.

Cam always plays well even through his rookie mistakes.
