We just have no pride in our defense anymore. The dramatic shift from the last two years to this year is just astonishing.

Really astonishing.  I think we underrate Sullinger's contribution to that.

Yes, he rebounded and took charges well.

Unlike Ko
, who looks like a bull fighter on defense.



KO is first or second on the team in charges drawn...

That just means that noone but Marcus likes to take charges.

...and Kelly. He's tied for 14th league wide at drawing them.

I get that you hate Kelly, but taking charges is one of his strengths. Suggesting that he's bad at it is disingenuous.

I suggest Ko doesn't help on a lot of possessions.

GREAT sign seeing AB hitting those shots.

Of course, he also made yet another boneheaded play at the rim and hit underneath the backboard.

There's a lot to be positive about this season.  Really, there is.  But this will NEVER be a title contender if they don't fix the astonishing inconsistency we've seen this year.  Even great teams have bad stretches but not like this.  I don't know if it's players or coaching but performances like we've seen the last three games cannot be acceptable.

Marcus is so clutch.

Where would this team be without Smart and IT making big plays in the fourth quarter this season?

Seriously Bradley.  That's not a real foul, but you're stupid enough to make it close enough to call.  The 4th time this game fouling a jumpshooter.  Stupid.

BS call on Bradley.  It's getting to the point where you're not allowed to play defense against a player going around a pick.

Looked like AB got his left arm before he was going up to shoot, though that was on the other side that the ref couldn't have seen.
