how the hell did we lose this game? Still in disbelief.

You play around the first three quarters and don't show that intensity on defense, and expect to flip a switch in the fourth? Thought we learned our lesson against MEM.

Jusuf is pretty damn insightful

Only consolation is OKC and San Antonio also lost "winnable" games. Winner of the night was Utah who moved into fourth place tie.

And the A's lost to the Rangers (they call themselves Texas Rangers but are Dallas). Double whammy. Life sucks.

.......if you think we can beat SA and Houston on this road trip, then I've got an island to sell you in Fiji.

If it's Navini I'm in.

Well Dallas shot a high % from three.
We've seen Portland lose time and time again when they allow opponents to shoot well from deep.
So nothing new there.

I will say though. Nards is starting to look like a rotational player.
I've said the whole year he has looked better.
I don't know if it's playing against Nurk in practice or coaching. But Nards doesn't look awful.

Well that completely sucked. I thought we were done playing down to opponents.....WTF!
