100% how I felt after I know Blaha was talking up Beasley for being a good teammate but its little **** like that that can cost you close games.

Darius Garland is one of them. Good fight by the guys tho. Hope Tobias Harris is okay.

The only negative thing about being a playoff contending team is how bad a loss hurts.... My heart was beating so fast when Cade had to shoot two sets of three FTs, and then that last play. Two games in a row.

I’ve always had an irrational dislike for Allen ever since he was a 4th year player going to summer league. Glad it’s no longer irrational.

Can we also just sign Max Struss so we don’t have to play him anymore?

Also, could someone please guard Ty Jerome? That dude kills us and moves like he’s wearing weights in his shoes.

All in all hard fought game that went to the wire. Liked our fight. Cavs appear to be regular season champions and I have a feeling they’ll fall in round 1 or 2.

We need another guard! We shouldnt even be in that position to give the Cavs a chance to beat us on a buzzer beater. Dammit TL make something happen to cover Iveys spot

And while we're at it, can somebody guard TJ McConnell? That guy just hit ANOTHER baseline layup on us and the game's been over a week.

i know screenshots can be deceiving but in real time i laughed at this cade drive as well - look how much attention cade was getting (he hit THJ for an open 3):

cade's ability to get into the paint at will despite teams doing whatever they can to stop that has been so fun to watch this year.

also, kudos to garland for that crazy buzzer beater, my only takeaway from this game was that this group just continues to fight in every game which is awesome.

I still don’t understand what the T on Ausar was for


For reasons... His body got in the way of Allen's forearm.
