Sorry cha, I shouldn't have quoted you with my response.

I'm so frustrated with these close losses. Unless they have a huge lead it feels inevitable that we're going to lose. It seems we have too many games where we just aren't focused, I didn't think this was one of those games btw. But we still had some silly turnovers in the first half and Love and Pek missed some absolute bunnies early on.

For sure. No lead feels safe and whenever the game gets tight it's a "here we go again" feeling.

Sure would be nice to have Burke on this team so Barea didn't have to play so much.

It'd be nice to have more than 3 above average players on the roster, too. *

* - not counting Hummel because of the small sample size.

Re-watched the game. Rubio was terrific.

He was great, but made a few poor decisions in wasting ~3 possessions with badly missing long 2s with lots of time left on the shot clock. Two of those wasted possessions were near the end of the game. Aside from when the shot clock is about to expire, he needs to take that shot out of his game.

Yeah, I don't understand I'm taking those mid-long 2's. Get to the hoop and make something or pull it back out. Complete eye-test, but I feel he could get a dribble or two closer on a lot of those shots.

It's nice to have him back, I feel instantly more comfortable. Another blowout, sure would like a close win.

Trade him while there's still a market for him (if there is one).

So we have the Suns tomorrow who are:

a) missing their ~best player (maybe 1b.)
b) on the back side of a b2b where
c) they lost to a Deng-less Chicago tonight

Really need to beat them as they're a prime candidate to leapfrog if we're gonna make the playoffs.

I just thought we needed a change. Limping was last year's tragedy

It's at a 'showcase' in Reno, I believe. All the teams play in Reno over the next few days.

Forecast update!

Schedule: 42.4 wins
Four Factors: 46.3 wins
Pythagorean: 48.1 wins
Hollinger: 48 wins (7th seed, ahead of HOU and DAL)

Next up: 3 schedule-factor game (i.e., a schedule win) against PHO. Probability of win = 95.3% (and the model doesn’t even know about Bledsoe’s injury).

I turned to that BAZZ game yesterday and that dunk was the first play i saw, haaa. I watched a couple more minutes and young bazzy did more good than bad so i decided to stop watching while i still had a good taste in my mouth

Clearly agree tonights game is pretty huge for us. lets get it timberLOVES!!
