Is it December or January again?! It sure feels like it, as we've struggled to pull wins together.
Booker has continued to be great, as he seems to be every March, but the team being without Durant as well as Ayton has been too much to overcome.
The loss of Ayton was a big deal this past week, as we faced an All-Star big man every night.
The Lakers seemed to be our most likely victory, but it seemed to be 8 Vs 5 on the court, if you know what I mean and Monty Williams seemed to agree, as he had a $35,000 rant about the proficiency of the refs.
It'll be nice to get Ayton and KD back - hopefully next week.
