They have shot the lights out all game. We are making bad decisions, bad rotations, missing everything from layups to open 3s, and not playing physical defense. They came to play, we didn’t.

When you are in your 12th year and have ZERO made 3 pointers yes you are a clown killing your team if you take one.
Every possession matters.
You don't make one until you do. He took a shot. He missed it. What if he had made it? We would have got so much momentum from it. He's not a clown and doesn't need to be benched.
It's a perfect example of the selfishness and stupidity that has us with a bottom tier offense with top tier talent.
There has to be accountability. every possession matters.
We aren't getting run off the floor because we have less talent or are missing shots tonight.
We're getting run off the floor because we are selfish and stupid and the coach has completely lost control over what his players are doing out there.

We are shooting 54$ and 52% from 3 and are getting run off the floor because we are playing bad defense and are losing turnovers 15-6.

We are NOT a selfish or stupid team. We are a very good close knit team. You're just in a **** mood because we're losing. Rudy is not a clown. Ant drove into a bad situation that he shouldn't have. Guess what? He's not a clown either. Players don't always make the perfect or even correct play.

Absolutely killed us tonight. These guys were on fire, and we did not play great defense. Our offense can't keep up with teams that are going to score 120 points, we need to improve on offense but really, we just can't afford to get into these kinds of games, we don't have the juice for this. Don't have the shooters.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

Every team has off nights, but we shouldn’t suck this much in one of them. Everyone is making bad decisions on all 3 levels. We have sooo much size on them and yet we didn’t even win 2nd chance points in the first half. We have multiple All NBA defenders but none of them can defend SGA and get the ball out of his hand. So many bad decisions on shot selection as well.

McLaughlin and Conley on the court at the same time? That's not something I expected to see.

This is the fear for the playoffs. Teams that can really play five-out will kill are vaunted defense, which is based on size and clogging the paint.
I know Ant really just gets too focused on the rim, Towns has made some awful decisions, but Anderson drives me nuts on offense. Him just being on the floor kills our spacing, kills it, and it’s worse when he’s on the floor with Rudy. That said, it’s our defense that is getting crushed this game.

Why is Conley still in the game? This one is over.

Terrible defense tonight. We got our ass kicked and deserve it. I look at Mike face and he look really unhappy tonight.

They are not gonna hit this many 3s in the playoffs every game. They shot lights out tonight on all 3 levels and even with their inferior shooters. There is no doubt we gave them too many open looks, but it was our turnovers, rebounding, and shot selection that sank us. Our defense could have been better, but this is the NBA, you cannot take away everything and we usually don’t. They just made all of the open looks.
