Game summary:

MEH.

That was a really underwhelming finish to the game.

Wtf haha

We suck defensively.

What a disappointing game by Bledsoe. 4 turnovers, 6 assists by our starting point guard for the next 4 years, I'm so excited.

At least we didn't lose by a last second shot...Gotta find some ray of light in this otherwise disappointing season.

His knees will be gone by then. Probably the next 2.

The optimism is overwhelming.

Len, Goodwin and Warren need to get consistent minutes the rest of the season.

The only real bright sides to this game were:

* Markieff Morris somewhat quietly had a 31-point night and looked great overall
* Len was back and looked healthy and spry (phew)
* Goodwin got lots of minutes and looked more good than bad, generally
* We have a starter arriving tomorrow in Knight who should theoretically improve our team

Very good showing.

Markieff was a monster tonight.

Just one game.

Everybody who says that INF hates Bledsoe and bashes him every chance he gets: INF is also one of the first people to jump out and give Bledsoe credit when he has a monster game. Or even a solid game.

I'll say this: if Bledsoe was on any other team, I wouldn't say a single bad thing about the guy. Nothing personal about it. I just have high standards for my team.

As long as it isn't the result of a devastating injury, at this point, every loss is actually a win.

Let the young guys play and see what we can do with Bledsoe and Knight together.

There's no point in making the playoffs.

Really wanted to catch this game but only caught the 1st quarter+.

Archie looked pretty solid when he was in there. Hit a 3, found teammates and overall thought he did a great job on Zach lavine on D. Very solid from what I saw.

Warren looked like he was nervous and rushed shots.....it happens. He'll be better with PT.
Len was just battling with Pek, Had a nice 2 blk sequence from what I saw.

Looking at the boxscore it looks like Kieff lived up to that Mc-D comment and Bledsoe did not. You know Eric, although you are taught this as a scoring guard, looks for contact way to much. He doesn't focus on finishing but instead focuses on the blow. He gets to the cup fine, his intial moves are usually good enough to get to the rack, but he misses a lot of makeable shot and I think alot of it is he rams himself into a defender so hard that he braces for the blow then the finish is just an after thought.

Overall I didn't expect us to win this game, but its still dissapointing to lose. I didn't expect to make the playoffs before we traded 3 rotation players and I don't now. Just looking to see how this group plays together. Chemistry looked fine tonight and 1 thing I did notice is everyone seemed pretty happy when Archie had a few nice plays. He seems like the teams "little brother" and also Kieff was taking Archie and T.J. Aside a few times and looked like encouraging them. Hopefully he realizes he needs to be a more mature lader now both on the court and in the locker room.

Edit: Just watched the last 2 mins too....I'm not sure why Bledsoe fouled Rubio with 46sec left down 1 too. He has got to be smarter then that

I know. I still would like to beat the Thunder to 8th though. It would be pretty sweet considering how much of a douche Durant and Westrook have been lately.

Agreed, but we just do not have the horses to keep up with them, specially now.

To be fair, I'd be an ornery SOB if Scott Brooks was my coach too.

I hope Knight and Goodwin play well enough to get McD to consider moving his baby Bledsoe.
