  1. I don't care that we lost, I don't care that we've had a poor season, but how do you put out that team for the last home game of the year?
    Was there honestly no better players available? The fans have suffered this season and will probably do so again next year, could not one of the staters played to at least try to send the fans home with a bit more joy?

    No matter what happens in the draft and free agency we need to work on our defense because its awful.

  2. For me the NBA has become a predictable and repetitious one-trick pony. A diverse offensive game devolved into: Long Rebounds–off a 3 attempt, Cherry Picks/Fast Breaks–off a 3 attempt, Passes out of the key–for a 3 attempt, Players Standing around in the corners waiting–for a 3 attempt, Vanished Post Up game–for a 3 attempt. We do get to see players mix in 3 free throws after the shooter tumbles dramatically to the floor, arms akimbo–off a 3 attempt. The 3 point shot has likely extended the careers of more than a handful of older vets–it's simply easier to continue to make a living primarily shooting 3s at ~40%.
