29-10 Hornets in the 4th...just a bad night for pretty much everybody...very lethargic and they got outhustled tonight. One of those stinkbombs that every team has during the season. Spit in the dirt and move on.

At least Harden got his 25 again tonight. Other than that tonight sucked major ass

How the **** do we miss 17 free throws? 17 ****ING FREE THROWS? Good Lord. That's pathetic

With Asik, you get 10 rebounds but 25% from the free throw line every game

Totally unacceptable from the line from the centers. Asik and Smith were a combined 1-12 on FTs. Asik isn't a good FT shooter (54%), but 1-8 is bad even for him. Even Harden was clanking FTs. Bench was no help, either.

James Harden puts on the moves.

Not to be a nit-picker, but the first dribble he takes after the ball goes between his legs, it looks like he does a two-handed dribble. Isn't that considered a double-dribble?

Back home after crappy road trip. A win tonight would be huge

Got some foul trouble brewing...Lin, Morris and Patterson all with 3 at the half...gave away a couple of baskets early with some careless passes in the backcourt, but a decent enough half overall.

Not that the following is news or anything, bit Asik has got to improve at finishing around the rim...he gives good effort and rebounds well enough, but he throws up a LOT of bricks from two feet away.

...and a horrendous start to the 3rd. From up 1 to down 16 in just over 7 minutes. Pure ****.

He used to dunk everything back in Chicago. It must be the minutes getting to him.

Continuing poor defense and some games when they have hit spells where things go wrong and they can't stop the bleeding (4th quarter against the Hornets, 3rd quarter last night).

Got to stop this skid and Dallas is as good a candidate as any.

We can't get too high with win streaks or too low with losing streaks.

This team is still YOUNG. They will mostly maintain right around .500 because of their talent level and coaching, but as they grow they will become more consistent.

We play fast. We are actually 8th in points per possession amd 20th in points per possession allowed

Well, at least that bed-**** happened in the first quarter...time to make up of it if they get their act together.

WHY CAN'T WE SHOOT FREE THROWS?!?!

We peaked already
Hickory High

See I refuse to believe that "we peaked early" crap. We have lost these games because of turnovers and TERRIBLE free throw shooting. Both are fixable, but they just seem to be unable to freaking fix it.

The refs were a POS tonight, but it may just be my viewpoint of dirk (not pretty). Either way Mchale needs to get this team together and start playing better team d.

I thought refs were relatively even IMO. We played slightly better D tonight but also take into account the opponent. This team is in a BAD funk

Harden missed two layups, he and Lin each missed a free throw, and Parsons couldn't catch a pass. We need to get out of this funk FAST
