Recommended Posts

I mean is this game 8 of the Suns/Mavs?

How they let a Mavs team people picking you maybe be a “play in” team come back into your building and do this?

We need a second dude. So, so fucking bad. We have no other dudes.
Yep. Another season of Luka and a bunch of guys who aren't consistent. Not a recipe for consistent success. No idea how or where they get this second guy at but if it doesn't happen, our ceiling is what we saw last year. Which is better than what we experienced for a decade after the championship but with a talent like Luka, it's wasting.

We lost because I went to sleep around half. That’s my bad, boys.

Had a big lead in the 3rd when I turned it off.   FT shooting was horrendous (21-34).  That matters in close games. Wood had a good game but fucking 3-10 from the stripe.

Wood is such a breath of fresh air after having to watch KP for several years. He’s not quiet the rim presence on defense, but he’s not that bad. He can also put the ball on the floor better than I expected. Really fun player to watch.

What the f with the final possession

It's literally what happens in every final shot situation over the last 3 years. Ever since he hit it against the Clippers he can't help himself.

Terrible effort tonight. Luka was being Luka in all his good and bad. Everyone else was standing and watching on offense and defense both. Great use of a timeout to draw up a final play

Game 1 we lost due to a stagnant 2nd half offense and bad 2nd half defense.

Game 2 we crushed a Memphis team missing 3 starters on the 2nd night of a back to back and a 3rd game in 4 days.

Game 3 we lost to a team missing 3 starters. Several people didn't put forth 100% effort on defense and it wrecked us. On offense they forced Luka to beat them and it worked. We had no off ball movement and no adjustments to Memphis's gameplan.

It's the start of the season and the good news is JKidd showed last year he can fix these specific problems.

i watched q1 and only saw highlights of the rest of the game.  it looked like we were guarding kyrie pretty well but he still managed to go off.  what a talent.

my nuts were in my throat those closing moments of the 4th. When they trapped Luka and he made the lazy pass out of the double team, I thought we found a new way to lose close ones. Luckily we regrouped in OT. Doesn't hurt that your gang of sharpshooters were hitting corner 3's like a fat kid eatin cake
