JB bringing us back.   tough shot in the lane, then another drive and dish to Big Al.
Unselfish play is what we need.   If they collapse on you when you drive the lane, find the open man.

The rest of the regular season is going to be a slog. Team just doesn't look interested in winning games like they did last season.

I expected it. What I didn't expect however was that Cleveland would be 27-4 and a good chunk of the NBA around us would also be significantly better. Like honestly I think last year even around 23-9 we could still be the 1 seed in the East right now and on pace to be.


Cavs going to overachieve for the 1 seed. Boston will finish second or third IMO.
But nothing they have shown in the last month ish makes me feel like they are going to make another long playoff run.

They just don't defend nor do they play hard. Alternating wins and losses is not championship mentality.

Just getting outplayed.  Indiana has simply been better than us this game.

All that was fool's gold. Sam takes a stupid 3. No defense once again.

The defense is clearly the biggest problem, but we?re still way, way, way too over reliant on the three. And I still hold that this extreme offensive philosophy contributes to the lazy defense.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

and then JT follows that up with a terrible def lapse to just give Haliburton a layup.

If this team lose again tonight without KP and Jrue, then we know who actually brings the championship mindset to this team.

This team needs a legit wing off the bench. Walsh playing is useless. Hauser is a one trick pony.

About to hit the road in January for 2 west coast trips and they will get their heads beaten in. Just not a good team.
