And just to prove how ridiculous that loss was last night, Orlando is about to lose to the Cavs at home.

Spurs wore them out though.

Thanks for the grades! Yes we were outplayed from the start. I expect us to bounce back and be rested for our next two games. Houston will be tired of losing and Harden should be back, but that's no excuse. Go Spurs!!

I've been harping on SA's need for a fourth option all year. They needed someone to step up for Gay, and they needed someone to help DeRozan out on the perimeter. "The System", at least in the sense most fans seem to think of it, is over. The team has to get a legit play-maker for the second unit. That's assuming Gay gets sent down there. Their margin of error with the guys they have no is just too thin, and I don't think Murray being healthy would change anything.

White being healthy will.

I would just back to a two-big line-up and have Cunningham start over Gay and Poeltl over Gasol. Gay/Gasol should work fine as the two iso players on the bench. Maybe give Q-Pon some more burn too, he's looked legit.

Pairing Aldridge and DeRozan with two non-shooters like Poeltl and Cunningham would be a recipe for disaster.

Feel like the grades were too generous when the team was getting blown out b4 the Magic remembered they are a bad team and squandered a lead. However I still appreciate the review

This team really can’t afford to lay any eggs like they did against the Magic. Let’s hope they bounce back strong and we get White and Walker back to add a little depth for B2B minutes.
