This is about as unhappy as I could be about a C's win.  What a terrible game.
I had more fun posting in this thread than watching the game. Thanks for the nice time.

Instead of an ugly win, I see it as a good non-loss. Gotta recognize when the team avoids a trap game defeat that a less proud, lesser team would suffer.
A key trait of a good team is the ability to play bad basketball all day and win the game at the end.

Not impressed with the effort, but glad to get the W. I guess they can act like a team that is 'that good' if they are playing a team as decimated as the Pelicans. Hopefully when the playoffs begin, we will actually continue to play hard after getting a lead.

Wasn't able to catch this one. From the stats it looks like Isaiah had a great night. Any particular reason they played us so close?

Because we went through a prolonged stretch in the second half where we settled for bad jump shots and couldn't stay with Luke Babbitt. Pretty much the usual.

Is it just me or is this not the first time we have inexplicably struggled with Luke Babbitt?

Babbitt was going full throttle from the start. He looked awkward initially, but then the moves started working.

When the whole team is injured, guts who normally aren't aggressive are forced to be and they will be the ones doing damage.

We shot poorly all game. Even at the line. Our steals saved us from our shooting.
