the reggie factor doesn't matter nearly as much (and isn't nearly as important for the rest of our games) as the PG factor. he's gotta be better for us to win.

Did you? Did you STFU when Doc lost all those series? You're still riding him aren't you?

I thought you said you were new here? Sounds like you are the alt acount

Dude, really I don't know MTV. Look Carlisle has been running circles around Doc. KP going down in game 1 was a boon to Doc. I've seen that look too many times on Doc's face like he's about to cry. He lacks the balls to make bold adjustments or think outside the box.

And Doc immediately makes sure to ruin this run by bringing Reggie and Trez back in.

nobody asked you

Oh my bad. Did I need your permission? Tom?

Yes, very bad.

Try to pretend you actually know something about basketball. About professional sports. About life in the grownup world. Until you do, you're a G-Leaguer. Our imbecile quotient is already on tilt. Don't add to it. :wink:

ugh, kawhi passing up a shot and giving it to pg for a brick is so brutal with this much time left. that would have been so big

absolutely awful decision by harrell

Can Marcus Morris stay in front of anybody?

You seem to be very familiar with th people on this board though.

the game is over guys. We just didn't match the intensity.

I'd say that was the right move. This is not Game 7. It's still time to get our act together and PG has a case of the tightass.

Only down by 10 with 3 minutes to go.

No, we didn't match Carlisle's coaching. "Intensity" has nothing to do with all our worst defenders constantly playing together and getting the toughest assignments. "Intensity" isn't why we don't have an offense beyond stagnant isoball. "Intensity" isn't why our rotations never change in response to how the players actually perform in games.

Zu must of slept with Doc’s wife to only be down 3 and never come back in the game. Now the Mavs dominating at the rim when he acknowledged we only have one rim protecter

Want this SOB gone. Tired of this mess

Quake Griffin · Post #156 » by **Quake Griffin** » Thu Aug 20, 2020 3:55 am

It's just the first round guys. We aren't worried about this round.

We'll get it together in round 2.
In fact, let's sit Kawhi for Friday's game.
:roll:

Reggie is the low hanging fruit, the easy one to get on, but he's not even close to being the biggest issue. Paul George was the biggest issue. Shamet's passivity on offense also didn't help, you need your floor spacer to be seen as a threat for them to really be effective.

I remember someone held us hostage to trade for this guy who regularly pulls these disappearing acts in the postseason.
:roll:

I remember "playing it straight" last year was GOAT cuz of the experience.
BRB Shamet who hit the biggest shot of the playoffs last year won't even shoot the ball while he's playing in playoffs with actual expectations.

We'll figure it out by Game 5.
We're not worried about these little games right now.

if you asked me who i would've been most worried about before the series i'd have said lou williams and morris.

but they've been playing reasonably well. we just need either pg to have a normal night and/or harrell to get back to normal.

beverley being out scares me. the fact that he keeps reinjuring himself is even scarier. i don't think this team is gonna go far without him, because reggie jackson is not the answer.
