Again, Myles playing really well, and then as soon as they sub in Lamb at the end to close out the game for him, they start hemorrhaging points. Granted, Milwaukee is playing with Ersan as the only big to close, and we still pulled it out rather comfortably, but dang.

For me it's more Justin Holiday

Lamb played with a lot of hustle, so I'm OK with him closing out the game?

Should have been Myles, Domas, Lamb, Vic, Brogdon closing out this game

Warren instead of Lamb for me, for sure. This was a good game for Lamb, but he is definitely a matador on defense right now late. As soon as his guy gets a step, he gets flustered and seems to let him get further on purpose and try at either a swipe around the back or just to foul the guy, but usually in a way that lets them still get their shot off easily at an attempt for an and 1?

They were hissing and whining about Brogdon and the Pacers in their game thread - what a bunch of bitter pricks

You'd think that they'd at least be a little appreciative that the Pacers did them a solid by sending them a pick so that they don't end up with nothing for Brogdon

Meh. A game thread on a team forum is their sacred space to let it out. Sports breed weird emotions. Let ‘em be.

We were there and I shouted "why?" at the time. I added that if it were offense defense, the timing was wrong.

did anyone watch the Network broadcast? did the announcers have anything interesting to say? that was probably our best 1st quarter of the year. did they credit us or just talk about Giannis being out?

really? Warren was the key last night on both ends and his 3 near the end was monstrous.

I got home late and only watched the 4th. Doris was really complimentary of Myles being a team first player this year.
