It's so damn discouraging when the other team can rest their superstars for nearly an entire quarter, and we have to play ours the entire game.

Also, I can clearly see a lack of playoff experience with this bunch.

Look at what the depth was at the beginning of the season and appreciate how much better it has gotten since.

We have depth. It just didn't play or played like shite tonight. Hope we can rebound at home.

Depth has actually been a strong point in the 2nd half of the year.

Outside of cole it didn't show up tonight,Jrue would help and hopefully he comes back thursday.

Needed Jrue badly tonight.

Reke was obviously in pain and struggling at the beginning of the game. Could have really used Jrue there.

Our depth is actually pretty good. What have 9 legitimate guys we can run out there.

you have Holiday out, Evans on 1 leg, Anderson going through a cold stretch. We weren't 100%, but when we are, our talent is better than 80% of the teams in the NBA

Maybe the more accurate statement is we didn't have depth available tonight. Therefore fatigue was a big factor but we didn't have a choice. Tyreke played hurt and I would guess AD played more than anybody tonight.

We're still in the process of building a contender

Jrue out tonight hurt us bigtime. And I'd have to imagine this team looks to move Anderson this offseason for a SF and sign another big

His missed shots and defense led to a huge momentum swing in the second quarter. This game could have turned out very different if the Ryno from last year shows up.

Yea Anderson is in a bad spot. Still his track record shows that over time he will shoot a high percentage from 3

It's mental right now, and I still don't think he's close to 100%.

We need a starting 3 and a real 6th man. On most teams QPon would function as a 7th or 8th guy, where he's nearly a starter for us. Anderson is no longer a 6th man the way he's playing, he'd barely get on the court for most teams. Offense doesn't make up for no defense, and he doesn't even help on offense now

In theory this team has 2 starting quality players along with 3 solid bench players on the 2nd unit. In practice injury problems that have carried over from last year have robbed us of that depth. Hopefully we get it back next year, but I don't know if Jrue and Ryno will ever be the same.
