Complacency is a killer. And the Blazers are taking advantage of it. I guess at least Vogel has enough sense to call a timeout rather than let the bleeding continue unchecked like Williams did with regularity.

You can't stop Rayan Rupert, you can only hope to contain him.

Nice of Durant to just completely give up on that play.

Some may have watched the great Lions/Rams game. There was also a crazy Bucks/Kings game where the Kings had a 4 pt lead in OT with 16 seconds left when Lopez hit a 3, and they fouled the Kings with 11 seconds left and Fox missed 1, so making only one put them up by 2. And then Lillard pulled a LIllard with 1 second left for the win.

Lillard was exactly the type of player the Bucks have needed. He has to be the most clutch end of game performer in the league...and probably playoffs at end of games. Kawhi not far behind but Lillard just makes crazy shots to win games.

We have literally zero court sense. They're just salivating at Booker trying to pass.

We got the W and no injuries out there so that's great.

We didn't play a good game, our defense was pretty bad and the constant effort wasn't there... but our talent was enough to get a +11 win.

We are already pretty close to the 5th seed. Step by step but we are on the right path.

Beal with another All Star performance and I love his comments after the game. Cool dude.

This team is boring and uninspiring. I start working at 7AM and Suns games usually finish at around 2AM here so I'm not staying up to see them anymore. I usually watch them in the morning.

But I'm not hyped about seeing this team's games at all even when they win :(


Also, they were playing a G league team and the only interesting thing about the matchup is Ayton and he isn't playing. Even that's disappointing.

Because this board is rife with toxic thoughts. It's depressing here lately.

That as well - although I feel that its pretty OK to point out just about now that the toxic thoughts for me are coming from watching our 2 superstars just go through the motions, play carelessly and sloppy, give no effort, do not try to play basketball in a sensible way, hang their heads, have bad body language, yet find the time to chew out minimum salary guys from time to time for mistakes that they regularly make. Icing on the cake that its just ugly basketball, even when we win. If I left out anything do let me know.

Pretty much.

The reality is: Team plays well = people are happy. Team plays bad = people are miserable.

That is just what happens to every fanbase. No biggie.

We're a poorly constructed roster that's also screaming out for leadership on the court. That's why we've been so miserable to watch all season.

Of our top 6 guys, 5 of them having scoring as their best skill, you can't win a title like that
