Conley has been absolute trash the last few games. We need to have a conversation about him

Coaching staff did this to themselves, tonight. I called that Anthony Edwards needed to be benched for a few minutes around the eight minute mark. He absolutely kills all offensive flow in fourth quarters, but the coaching staff enables him to do it. Been calling it out all season.

I'm really tired of them never giving Towns any looks, especially from three in these massive stretches where we can't get offense. I don't know how the hell they just let him be taken out of games like that. Imagine Embiid, Jokic, Sabonis, etc. getting froze out to close a bunch of games. It's ridiculous.

Hero ball hell. But you know what they say, a loss is a loss.

Congrats boys. You just fumbled the coaching staff getting to coach the all-star game after they have had the top seed for 80 percent of the season. Congratulations. :nonono:

Yep and that's what we got tonight. Losing SUCKS. We had an 8 point lead entering the 4th and didn't take care of business at home.

A win against the rockets still does it.

He didn't shoot well at all tonight. But 9 Assists/1TO when the rest of the team TO the ball moreTO (15/17) than giving asssist hurt also a lot. This game just show why we are not a contender. We are a good team, not a top team.

Mike had a bad game so they put the ball in Ant’s hands in the clutch. Ant on ball equals ugly loss. I mean honestly what is the matter with Finch for not benching Ant?

? Domantas Sabonis is an exceptional offensive player.

We're a contender. Everybody loses games sometimes.

The coaching staff - specifically Finch, Should take a lot of credit for this loss in addition to the players.

You have a point but still he's supposed to be our best go-to player. I agree with you overall. It's a tough call for Finch. Still a one minute benching should get the point across.

They ruined a great game from Rudy. What a shame.

Great point! I don't get it. There is not one guy on the team I'd rather see shoot the ball.

One minute? Are you kidding? He should have been benched for the night with his hero ball BS. This isn’t new. We have seen this movie before, and I promise you it never ends well.
