I understand the frustration. But things can sometimes change quickly. Keep the faith, but be prepared for the worst. My biggest concern right now is KG saying everything is alright, when clearly it isn't. Sorry to hear that Mauricio. I understand the frustration. But things can sometimes change quickly.

Whenever I think we've hit our bottom, we get worse. We routinely play bad basketball -- turnovers, giving up offensive rebounds, bad execution, bad defense (how in the world do we let R. Lewis get a LAYUP on that last possession?). I can't remember last time I saw us win a game; last 4 or 5 times I've caught a game, we've played poorly and lost. Everyone except Daniels is in the line-up, so the injury excuse does nothing for me. I doubt I'll bother watching the game on Sunday -- I don't enjoy watching us play anymore. Maybe I'll feel better in a day or two, but right now I can't stand to watch how poorly this team plays. When our competition is younger, more athletic AND executes better, there is not much hope. And I have little hope we'll be able to turn it on come playoff time. The past 6 championships have come with us having home court advantage. Not since 1969 (when I was 2 going on 3) have we won without HCA. I don't see us being a 3rd or 4th seed in our conference and then winning the title. My sincerest desire is for this team to turn things around and make me eat my words (which I would gladly do) but this pathetic second half display has sucked all the hope out of me.
