Just what you don't want from a third quarter.

No defense, no rebounding, no offense.

That's how you make a 20-point lead disappear.

How did Mikal not draw a foul on his drive but Williams gets the call when Saric is basically hugging himself?

Hey Booker, here's an idea. Don't shoot an off the dribble three on every possession.

Oubre found a phone booth and ducked into it with about a minute left ... came out as Savior Sun.

Glad I tuned in for last few minutes. When Oubre is tuned in, he is a massive asset.

What an intense battle of Who wants it less?

Honestly, if there's such a thing as an embarrassing victory, that was it. Not that I'm complaining.

I was about to write a very nasty post, but we won. So I won't.

Great 1st half with defensive energy and passing on offense. We lost all the offense in the 2nd half as our jumpers weren't falling and Saric and Kaminsky just couldn't maintain inside. On the one hand, you felt like we didn't deserve to win because we gave up the lead. But then, we were down 3 bigs and were forced to go with Frank and Dario.

I actually don't hate Dario at the 5, the problem is we don't have another 4. I really like our depth on the perimeter but it clearly doesn't help on nights like these when we're light up front. Jerome played really well I thought, I forgot how good he can be for us. Carter was also pretty good in 9 minutes, while Tyler Johnson and Okobo didn't get any time. Diallo for sure would've helped tonight so hopefully he and/or Baynes can get back.
