    I might have to cool it on the Kelly O chops after a loss. The one I posted right before a loss got pretty well slammed by some disgruntled putz flavored ice cream lovers out there. It's a rough place around here these days.

    More Kelly O memes are certainly to come once the anger subsides but that might be a while. Looking at you @topfive ... you and your posse of interthugs are killing my vibe with great impunity.

    Wood HAS to improve at free throw shooting. It's really not acceptable for someone with his shooting skills to be as consistently poor at the line as he is.

    Really great game from a lot of players. KJ Martin continues to show why he deserves good minutes, and Tate did well even if he shot too many 3's. Brown struggled defensively in the 3rd against Kawhi and I was surprised Silas did nothing to adjust, either by doubling Kawhi or switching Brown off him. Also, KPJ has got to get better about moving quicker in his offensive sets. When he gets by his man, he's either got to pull up for an uncontested 4-8 foot jump shot or figure out how to get easier shots near the rim. Right now, he ends his drives too often by either: a) jumping into the air and trying to pass it erratically out last minute, b) trying to out-hang the defender and getting a crazy double pump make, or c) making a high-difficulty reverse layup.

    If KPJ could just figure out how to score easier, his game would be so much better, and it's crazy because he gets by his man all the time and has a floater right there for the taking, or a simple pull up a few feet from the basket, but he doesn't have that in his repertoire and instead goes right to the basket, gets in the air, and ends up doing one of the things I mentioned.

    I noticed his left foot seems alot farther back than his right foot when shooting free throws. im not an expert on free throw shoot mechanics but isnt it best for feet to be almost parallel?

    This game was so boring that I just want to tell Jontro and Hakeem94 that this game was postponed.

    Does this look like the type of man who would hold grudges?

    How could the second worst quarter in team history be boring? Horrifying, yes. Gory, for sure. Boring? Nah. More like riding a roller coaster missing some parts.
