sometimes i think the way afflalo turns the ball over, that it might actually be on purpose, its as if he wanted us to win the lotte--oh..now i see.

Lets give jacque the dunce cap again for playing a tired lineeup for 17 mins straight, but also mcbob. This coach really cant be this dumb. They have to be trying to lose or showcasing him.

We play so hard but we cant close out games. This is excruciating.

This loss hurts. We played so well and very hard but in the end, it wasn't enough. I'm a bit disappointed that Drew didn't play after he got his 4th foul as we could have used his low post scoring. Even as a rookie, he stabilizes our offense with his ability to score in the paint and also pick and pop.

I do need to remember the big picture though and understand that we are in the beginning stages of the rebuild.

The only player that played too much was McRoberts and he didn't even have that bad of a game. Let's be honest guys, was JV going to pull JJ (29pts) or Afflalo (24pts) or Jameer (21pts) or Vuc (17pts) for their backups late in the game? Who was he going to sub them for?

Ish?
DQJ?
Moe?
We don't even have a backup center right now.

I usually call them out for blatantly tanking but tonight wasn't one of those nights. You could tell they all wanted this one.

Jacque is the man, he IS a better coach than SVG and I love SVG.

Drew makes mistakes, he has mental lapses, can not share the ball. No need to reward that kind of behavior, or we will end up with Al Jefferson 2.0

Well said. I had no problem with JV tonight with the exception of not allowing Drew to get more burn out there. It's amazing on how refined his post game is even as a rookie. He was scoring with relative ease, he just needs to get better on defense so that he is not fouling so much out there.

Exactly.

It sucks they had to play such a large quantity of minutes, but there really wasn't a choice.

You are spot on.

Sometimes you guys crack me up with this internet coaching. What else do you want jv to do?? Portland starters played 44+ mins too.

You all should be damn happy he doesn't play turk or ayon for extended mins.

Also do not understand the mcbob hate, it is looking like we can groom him to be our nick collison, clean up hustle player. He knows his role.

This. I never understand the hate at all. He's actually been more than solid. And he usually never forces anything, sometimes he makes a boneheaded play here and there, but so do most players.
