Willie had to have learned a lesson.

or put an offensive minded lineup in (Trey) when they are killing us and we are not scoring.

Also if Ja is going off on us, how about put our best on the ball defender on him (Dyson) for 25 minutes?

I have no confidence in winning this game tonight.

I’m with you. I’m just here for the entertainment. My expectation for this team is very low until we get a new coach. Willie is the Les Miles of the NBA. Just keeps doing the same stupid shite over and over.

I've accepted a loss, they're playing with confidence

I'm gonna give Willie the benefit of the doubt & say our two wings (ended up being Trey & Dyson) were suppose to "pinch" in from both sides to help Herb & prevent Ja from making his spin move. They both pinched...but they both were just a half-step late getting there.

Looking back, probably best to have both to just leave early & drop into the lane and leave their men wide open for an uncontested 3. I'd stay (or rotate) on Bane...but leave any
of the other 3 open. Play the odds.

I think we need to double him all night, not just on critical possessions.

Relax...we win tonight. Ja will have to shoot 15-20 free throws for us to lose tonight. He won't. He shot 12 vs us...6 his next game and 1 in his last game.

We just need to make sure Bane doesn't hurt us too badly. Ja is a VERY poor outside shooter. Bane is the key. We should win fairly easily. Lay the 5.

I appreciate the optimism but I need to see it to believe it. If this is somewhat close in the fourth- I highly doubt we pull it off with our head coach.

Hate to see Smart back for this one. He's a winner...but I seriously doubt he's anywhere near 100%...after his layoff.

Yeah but hes also another high IQ player for them. They’re surging and getting healthy at the right time- worse time to play them.

If we lose tonight I believe we'll fall to 5-3 in a run of 11 straight games as a favorite or likely favorite, most being home games. Not good.

We will win tonight but lose the next 2 to keep up with the cycle of Willie.
