Well that sucked

We literally have the 3rd best offensive rating in the entire NBA over the last two weeks. Saying we don't have firepower is just being deliberately obtuse.

All things considered, that offensive rating should probably be viewed as an accomplishment rather than an expectation.

And since we’re on the subject: I still hate Kanter

The thing I'm most excited for when the playoffs start is no longer having to watch Forrest shoot wide open threes

We won because Bogie and JC went supernova. Remove one of them (or have a below average shooting night from 3) and it gets really hard to score. Joe have not been the same (he is tired). Forrest and Oni can't score and both are getting tons of minutes (they shouldn't if we were healthy). We have no one on the roster who can blend a defense, unless JC is really on. We are really missing Mike and Conley at this point. BTW, what's the offensive rating without the SAC game? (highest in franchise history). Have you considered strength of schedule? how does it compare to earlier in the season? And in any case, even if its below of what it was, it shows the effort the team is putting in, but can't expect the same results against really good teams.

Without the SAC game it is 116.7. Only 3 teams in the league have higher.

Oh yeah, Rubio looks like Steph in comparisson. Teams are leaving him wiiiiiiiiide open.

Can't have a game without a couple of Bogey stripped drives.

One comment I want to make about this.

It seems to me that when any random defender swipes down at any random ball handler or any random defender reaches in against any random ball handler that there is often a foul called. Whether a foul actually happened or not it gets called a high percentage of the time.

Except with bojan. Defenders are always swiping down at the ball or reaching at the ball when he is driving and they almost never call a foul. It's like he is treated differently than ever other player in the NBA in that particular scenario.

Mark it down they will lose to okc and kings mentally weak

No way we can win shooting 27% from downtown.

They were making shots, and we were missing.
They were taking care of the ball and we were turning it over.
They had their full roster and we were missing a big chunk of ours. Game

Hopefully we'll have them for the playoffs, because its obvious we won't see either of them sooner.
