Captain's comment meets all these criteria: Clearly though before he wrote, focused on audience, began with the main idea, provided only pertinent details, and used meaningful and descriptive verbs.

Well not watching 91% of the game means I don’t feel so bad.

On a serious note, what up with the offense brochachos?

Might just be going through a rough stretch of lazy execution/poor focus

Pretty sure Steve will sprinkle in some new small additions here and there especially with Klay back to give this offense some new life in the coming weeks

End of the first half of the season and the first game with Steph that the Dubs have been routed. These things happen. Good chance of another L tomorrow night, but after that, Minny (winnable without Dray) and then some good home cooking and hopefully a healthy Dray. 41 games down 41 to go.

I looked into the bright light with one eye, and now I only remember the second half. In a great mood, highly recommend!

Not the best game to introduce my young nephew and niece to Dubnation, but on the bright side it prevented me from throwing insane amounts of profanities at the screen.

Staring into the flashing light in 3...2...1...

So, our bench scoring crushed theirs (53-24). So deep. We must have won the game, right?

Thunder rout the Nets 130-109. Nets played last night against the Bulls in Chicago and routed them.

And without KD or Kyrie tonight

I would just love to see what Chris's would look like next to our shooters and another year in the culture

Wiseman will be better… as long as he finds functional knees…

Kerr needs to pull some green lights and guys need pass the ball to open better shooters...

Yes, he does! Never thought I'd see multiple possessions in a game where I thought the Dubs weren't passing enough. Instances that come to mind, is Beli chucking multiple times down the court and Kuminga looking off a wide open Otto to attack multiple at the rim. Surely they weren't the only ones. The last thing you need is people trying to do it all themselves. Trust in your shooters when they are open no matter the rut.

So many good things tonight.

- Strong defense from GP2.

- Good minutes and effort from JTA and Lee,

- Wiggins consistent as ever.

- Looney hustling as ever.

- Solid performance from Klay, but more importantly 20 good quality minutes and good development. Good interactions with Kuminga

- Kuminga being impactful on both O and D.

- Poole hit some threes

Yep a solid workmanly game, keeping it close all the way and then scratching out the win. Oh wait I left out the part where the Dubs forgot to score in the first half.

And yes I noticed that the Bucks utterly crushed us!

Didn't you look at the bright light?

Maybe a bit too long.

I prefer to accentuate the positive. It was nice to see JTA taking and making some open 3s and ... help me out here.

no-one got injured

Didn’t Payton leave with back tightness?

Expand full comment

Ugh. I was lucky enough to miss the game, so was going based on minutes + no articles

Expand full comment

Kuminga looked good (it being garbage time notwithstanding).

Expand full comment

Yes, though I thought he should have been able to make a couple of those shots after contact which didn't seem all that solid. At least he got to the rim even if it was against the bench unit.

This just in: Giannis = really really good. Brilliant insight, eh?

Expand full comment

If Giannis signed with the warriors > Kd warriors

Expand full comment

Giannis would be a solid fit on this team and would shore up some weaknesses.

Fitz - is that you? /s 🙂

Correction - Klay and GPII to sit tomorrow and everyone else plays.

Bleah.

Wiggins - 16pts. All good on the contract.

Expand full comment

The contract clearly states 17 points. Wiggins cutting corners like this is unacceptable.

Expand full comment

Pretty sure as long as he gets 18 tomorrow he's in the clear. Read the fine print.

curious, did wiseman have his knee surgery on the West or East coast....
