He took good shots and just didn’t knock them down. It happens.

the 2002 lakers started 3-9 then went on to sweep almost every series. It’s not the end of the world.

Taking shots without passing first and without rebounders in position are not good shots. He can draw the defense anytime he wants. Until he learns to use that skill for setting up others it's not good.

I can't stand playing with guys like that. Why even engage on offense when he has the ball? Might as well go back on defense.

I was impressed by a number of one-on-one defensive stops Ant made. Even that last shot by Irving that put them up five wasn't terrible defense as much as it was a good move and shot by a premier player.

He did a very good job keeping him in front and contesting the shot. Sometimes good players score. That was not 1M's fault.

Simons tried but it was terrible defensive strategy to let the kid who's played like a handful of meaningful games go 1-1 against maybe the best isolation player in the game. Really inexplicable coaching there.
 
Something must have happened recently behind the scenes. This can’t be this bad. To start at home 0-3 for the first time since our second season of existent?

Jason Quick needs to come with that story soon

So you wanted CJ or Lillard on him?

Body language is bad...we're counter punching...sparring partners for contenders right now until we find some passing, rebounding and make simple layups

Could use a little defense also.

Did anyone else kind of get a Gerald Wallace type feel from little?

No, I wanted someone to actually help before he started his drive and forced the ball out of his hands. Make someone else beat you. That's what good team defenses do, as opposed to Stotts' incredibly passive approach that always allows the ballhandlers to set the tone and exploit their matchups.
 
It's not as bad as the Beavers defense getting called for holding on a field goal attempt by the Huskies. I've never heard of that. The first field goal was missed, the retry went through.

I'm hoping for a Kwahi Leonard light out of him. And before anyone freaks out, I'm not saying he'll be a superstar like him, but a similar game.

He's a whirling dervish out there, and I loved how he went up strong and dunked on people tonight. Something the guys ahead of him don't do (and in some cases, probably can't).
