Mo's obviously still searching for some consistency in his game... he's tentative with his shot and looks very passive in making any sort of contact on D. Good thing he still has 19 games to get back on track.
We are far from playing perfectly right now and still trying to patch together a rotation without Shaq and Z, yet we've still found a way to win 6 in a row and effectively have built a 4 game cushion on L.A. with the tiebreaker. Not too shabby.
Tonight was ugly indeed, but we were due for one like this. The important thing is they got a taste of coming from way behind and having to do it with hard work on the defensive end. This one could go a long way toward reminding us not to take anyone lightly and not forget about playing defense.
