Hopefully we wake up. Can't believe we are still close after how we have played.

I've seen bad defense Booker tonight on several plays. Hope thst gets cleaned up as the 2nd half goes.

Looked like a good block. But when you foul like Chriss does, you are never going to get the benefit of the doubt.

And Booker goes 3 on 1 on a fast break and gets a charge, his fourth.

Another poor defensive effort down the floor.

James 1 for 15 in his last 2 games. I'm with you here sauce on not being convinced he's worth a long term contract. You'd think he'd realize he doesn't have it and try and distribute. Too ball dominant for my taste.

Len plays so small on his post ups. That far under the basket no need to body just throw up the left hand hook.

Wish he could give half of his confidence to Bender.


What kills me are the pull up 3s early in the clock when he’s 0-5

True

Thing is he can pass decently when he wants to. Still possibly has a hangover from playing in Europe and being the man there

James and Ulis both not doing it for me. The Honeymoon phase is over with our PGs. I'm in favor of trading for a PG now.

Ulis is just not playing well. Holding the ball for too long and then herky jerky in the lane and throws up an off balance shot. Not good.

Haven’t read the thread and don’t know what you know but I’m sitting directly behind McDonough and heard from him directly that Warren banged his head but they don’t think it’s serious but he is going through concussion protocol. He wanted to come back out and play.

There's no secret why they're behind when James (0 for 7), Ulis (0 for 7) and Chriss (1 for 6) are a combined 1 for 20 and the team is shooting 31%.

Exactly my thoughts. Neither is really a potent scorer or a great passer. Without Booker and Warren we are toast.

James is not 1 for 21 in his last three games (4%). That had better make them re-think a multi-year deal at this point.

Beasley clearly playing with some vengeance against us. When is the last time he's played this well? 2013?
