I agree.
Attacking in the paint paid off nice dividends at the line last night.
Here’s to hoping the boys got some good rest last night. I suppose if there’s one place on an NBA road trip where there aren’t any distractions it’s Salt Lake… and, I guess you could OKC to that list as well.
GEAUX BEES!

It's probably a good thing
that CP has a personal drive to one-up Deron, because that should help keep his energy level high.

He'd better
He’s 2-8 against Deron… obviously a lot of those aren’t his fault, but still.

I like the defensive switch.
Tyson on Millsap and DX on Okur. Millsap looks lost against TC.

Yeah, I thought maybe that's why they switched DX on him.
But then TC took him back. Strange. Especially as Millsap and Okur weren’t doing much until they switched back. Seems almost more dumb than strange.

We're 3-10 from deep.
They’re 7-10 from deep. Historically (if that continues), that has been a mark of defeat. We’re going to have to keep driving, drawing fouls, and making FTs.

I don't think so.
They came out with plenty of energy. I think they just got careless, assumed they could keep winning, and were caught off balance when Utah started making shots. Certainly, AD and the backups had no reason to be tired.

At the half the bench has

Starters are getting tired and need some production from the bench.

Too much penetration in the paint
either by dribble penetration or passing.
We’re just standing still watching them drive right by. Playing that matador defense.
