    Gonna need to come out in the 3rd with some ideas for helping BI and CJ create some stronger looks, and a re-dedication to JV (who, despite not picking up a single foul or turnover, and putting up 11/12 in 15 minutes, played the fewest minutes of any starter).

    This is winnable. We're up and that's despite rough shooting games so far for BI and CJ, and rough 3pt shooting for the entire team. This could swing wildly in our favour in the third if we come out serious.
    Basketball.

    That's just ridiculous. Playoff experience is invaluable.

    My boss: When are you coming back to work?

    Me: When I feel like myself again.

    Boom, the Zion defense. Like the Chewbacca defense, but better.

    I'll let you guys know how it goes...

    Stan, it's been like that for his entire career. You know that.

    Trey hits 20pts, the first on our team to do so

    Good call. Gotta have the narcissism in there or it doesn't work.

    The difference, so far is 3pt shooting. They've taken about 10 more than us, so they've made a few more, that's why they're still in it.

    I mean a guy just drove right down the lane scott free. What in the hell is going on. Call a timeout and yell at somebody.

    SGA barely gets touched and a foul is called. Meanwhile, Ingram gets mugged and it's 'play on'. And I make it a policy never to rag on the referees.

    Mugged all the way down the court, before he even crosses the halfcourt he gets bumped 3 times. This is ridiculous.

    I feel the same. I’m not one to do it either but Ingram is getting no respect from the officials.

    JV was owning them down low and now, he can't get the ball?

    I know the approach they're taking to him is mildly different but it still startles me how little we look to JV given how effective he was in the first half. Just nothing.

    Jax watched a rebound go by and then a driving player go by. He doesn’t have basketball instincts.

    One of the annoying things about bad reffing is that it doesn't just make the game about the refs, it also takes away from what makes certain players fun to watch.

    Part of what's fun to watch about SGA, when he's at his best, is the fact that he's a layup artist with very little explosion or burst. So for him, at his best, it's all about taking angles, fluid movement, odd finishing craft, etc.

    When the refs decide they're going to give him 40 calls a night he quits doing all of that and just jumps into defenders. So the refs have ruined the play but also the player. It's so frustrating as a fan.

    Rebounding equates with effort. Thunder want it more than us tonight.

    Pels better dig in

    And that zion interview was pathetic

    Majority of his career he will spend it in bubble wrap. Ingram will eventually want out
