3rd straight game of having a limp dick to begin the game. Maybe they ready for all star break.

Well that sucked. Feels like we're in a funk, maybe that was part hangover from the GS game or maybe we need a break. Not going to win many games starting out 1-20 from 3. We were getting really good looks early in the game, just never hit them. Felt like we kept waiting to get hot and it never came. Embiid and Maxey carried them, Oubre had a good game. CG was ice cold, Book was rusty, Green looked OK and has flashed some nice chemistry and playmaking with his bigs. Brooks was Brooks.

Maybe a silver lining is that we're still consistent with our play and style. We might be cold shooting the ball or might be tired and half a step slow but there's still effort and execution. We play the same way each night and we at least give ourselves a chance to win.

I did not care for this loss.

Every time we lose 2 in a row, I'm a little stunned. I forget that this team is capable of losing 2, even though we've done it a few times this year.
in Ott we trust

Yeah, I know what you mean. One of the best things I could say about this team is that even though we do lose plenty of games, I almost never start watching the game *expecting* them to lose. They generally play well and play hard, and they're in almost every game. A real breath of fresh air after last season.

True, the team has lost 2 straight a few times this season. The last time they lost more than 2 in row, though, was October 29th, when Memphis beat them for a fourth straight loss, and they dropped to 1-4.

Hopefully this bodes well for the Dallas game tomorrow. The Suns look like a team that's ready for a break, but they've got a couple more games to get through first.

We are in a funk for sure. But at least we never stop battling. I hope we can get back on track before the all-star break although we have one easier game (Mavs) and one very tough one (Thunder). I'm expecting us to win one and lose one but you never know. I'm just glad Booker and Green are back but bummed about Grayson. Hopefully, he's good following the all-star break. It would be great to have a healthy team to start the back half.
Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.
