And without Prichard and Brown, they were 10-46. It happens! At least they have the excuse of being on a tough B2B.

The biggest concern for me is that it was yet another loss to a young, super-athletic team who kinda just ran us ragged.

That embarrassing 39-point first quarter, including several unforced turnovers and about 20 fast break points shows that the loss tonight has nothing to do with being tired. The players just didn’t bring it, for whatever reason. They were sleepwalking.

iHart leaving really did force their hand to trade for KAT even though in the long run I believe it was definitely worth it.

The jury is still out on that one though it is true that losing I-Hart forced their hand. Most of our wins came because of our extremely potent offense. Defensive pathologies are still obvious and only in very few games (or stretches during a game) did we show we can defend well.
