our team is just like lulz let me take that reb thanx

Come on man, we were losing... nobody should be going out of their way to get payton a triple double. When you see teammates helping others get meaningless accolades like that it's because they're winning the game.

Can't understand how the fan could interfere if the ball was out of bounds!

Fan interference is NOT a rule. Imo, if it touches ANYTHING out of bounds, the ball is out of bounds, aka Magic ball. If it is deemed to be interfered with, then its a deadball situation, and should be a jumpball. But under absolutely NO circumstances should this have been Cavs ball. Absolutely absurd...

The nightmare season is almost over. Hennigan has his work cut out for him.

Mr. Selfish Chucker despite being the most efficient player on our team while having the toughest defensive assignment between our top 3 scorers.

Tobias was great tonight imo. Had some defensive lapses but also had some good moments. Need better from Dipo and Elf though and just to play better defense in general. You aren't winning a game when a team makes 17 3s on that high a %

although, at the end he was forcing passes and hanging around the paint on defense, so i think he was actually chasing that triple double...
Clearly he knew and was going for it. Some say he wasn't but they don't know what the hell they're watching anyways.

He was indeed trying to get a def rebound.

Whoa now, don't say that about the almighty Hennigan. You forget, there's a "Henny Code" that is primarily based around getting "Henny guys." The only problem is that it leads to teams that can't win 30 games a year in a putrid Eastern Conference. But hey, if that irritates you, you need to be patient. These rebuilds take years and years to execute and include drafting PG's that can't shoot at all (41% from the field, 52% from the FT line) and tweeners at #4 overall that can't contribute at all.

Still salty about getting fired Jacque Vaughn?

Were we supposed to beat this team? I'm surprised we didn't lose by 40 with all those 3's they made.

purpleswordfish · Post #355 » by **purpleswordfish** » Mon Mar 16, 2015 12:48 am

I guess my question to you both is this: how many more 20-29 win rosters is Hennigan going to put together before his job is in jeopardy?

Probably not, but our "let them shoot threes" game plan is still frustrating...

24-5 over the last 29. So no, but this board has some odd expectations. We've been hovering around .500 playing lower half teams, we have no business beating Cleveland right now.

Nah the question is how many teams who lose their superstar contend right after?

No one really expected to win this. The trolls just coming in here with their agendas right now.

How impatient are you? It's the third year of a total tear down rebuild. Stop crying like a child. We are a small market team that lost its top 10 star and a bunch of bad contracts made by the last GM. It was never going to happen over night.
