So, we've played one good quarter so far this season and it's not like our opponents were elite either. We just look super tentative right now and our shot selection (in stretches) is suspect. When the outside shot isn't falling, for the love of God, attack the basket and get to the foul line!
I thought a key moment in this game occurred was the 2nd quarter when Aldridge received over a six minute rest. He had it stuck on automatic early on and I think Stotts rested him a tad too long. When your superstar is locked and loaded, you ride that gravy train.
Also, we need to quit fucking overlooking teams! Nico was lazy as hell with the ball tonight. Our bigs were completely outworked on the glass (Dame led the team with seven boards). And I didn't see a ton of intensity throughout the game. The West is a fucking buzzsaw and we need to be dialed in for 82 games if we want a good playoff seed, not to mention taking advantage of OKC while Russ and KD are sidelined. Overall, it was an extremely frustrating game. The kind you would expect during the dog days of January, not in late October.
