Let us finish in play in so we can lose and miss the playoffs. This is literal torture I’m officially done with this team.

I guess we are going to shoot like ass the whole game :lol:

Uncharacteristicly bad shooting game. More importantly our big line up looked really good. That Young / Bol should be ahead of Eubanks in the rotation moving forward.

1 guy plays 25 mins gives you 9 pts 5 reb
1 guy plays 27 mins gives you 25 pts 14 reb
guess who is who and who will play meaningflu minutes come team is on full strength

i will go so far and say i would play bol bol over nurkic, because of his defense, heck even go big with bol bol nurkic kd beal and booker.

warriors lakers then winner possibly vs suns.
AWESOME!

Eubanks should be DNP from here on out. I know him and Vogel got a white guy thing going on but this is ridiculous.

Well that sucks… that was one for the stealing. Going to go smoke a Bol now, with muted celebration. Maybe MattyIsh makes a call and says hey Frank … play that dude. And btw, why didn’t you play him last night ya Jhole

It was a strange decision to have Bol box out sengun to be honest. He should have been the third rebounder, his length is good for snatching long rebounds off the top. Thadeuss should have been put in there for boxing out purposes.

Being the closeted optimist that i am

This was an excellent loss. Seriously, if Vogel doesnt wake the F up… well, yall know the rest.

Imagine if that grizzly Udoka was coaching this team instead of milktoasty V

So again, didn't get to see the game, but from reading all the comments it looks as if it was another letdown/giveaway that we should've capitalized on? ...........................................Just finished looking at the scoreboard stats to try and catch up and it looks like we basically lost because w didn't shoot well when it mattered, didn't defend the perimeter, and they beat us from the three.

Was the effort and focus better this game at least? Also happy for Bol Bol! He should be earning his way into the rotation with more minutes hopefully as a result of his impact and production. Hopefully we figure things out before time runs out on us. :pray:

AWESOME!

With all this young talent in the west, it couldnt be any clearer example of changing of the guards… Out With the old, in with the new

Our window is officially a porthole

Watched the last 5 minutes of this one and as has been the case all season, we just don't do the little things well enough nor have the mental toughness as a team to be a contender, even at full strength.

Good to see Bol played well, he needs consistent minutes in our rotation for the rest of the season.

Chip?

We aren’t winning anything with the way our roster is constructed. We don’t have a reliable pg to slow down the game in the 4th quarter. No NBA team ever makes the finals by being bottom 5-7 in TO’s. This team isn’t anything special everyone was fooled when suns went on a couple nice winning streaks. But deep down die hard fans know that this team is DONE!

Even if Beal's no-trade clause didn't exist. Would anyone want him? Orlando? Probably not. This is bad.
