Two rough losses in the last 4 games, by a combined total of 4 points. It's sucks, but we can recover if the team is able to get back before January hits.

Today we play the Grizzles, who have been on a winning streak since Ja returned. This is partially because Ja is really important to them, and partially because they've been given a lot of lee-way by the refs and the media because of the Ja love-fest.

We lost the last game on a buzzer beater from Ja; a single basket. Frustrating as hell at the time, but it means that the game wasn't far from our grasp. A few small adjustments to our gameplan, our minutes, and our lineups and this is very winnable. Will the Pels actually do it? I have no way to know. We are far from a team that is reliable in this sense. That said, we have bounced back from worse: when Dallas thrashed us, we came back the next game and buried them. I'd like a repeat of that.

Let's see what the team can do.
