I'm done with Beverley. He's got to go.

This team is once again a total mess going into the playoffs.

There is no basketball on the field worth watching. I'm out

Playing drunk right now

It's honestly pathetic how little this team cares sometimes after all that talk in the offseason of a "revenge tour." It's like they don't even enjoy playing basketball.

Feels like we are down way more than 5. Still winnable, but we need to turn it up 4th quarter.

We pretty much got nothing in the 3rd out of our 2 all stars. Lucky to be down only 5.

George couldn’t get any space or call on that

Sloppy game. But Knicks are no joke, crazy how much they turned around from last year.

This team has not played well against any opponent with a pulse in over a month, and time is running out for them to get their **** together before the playoffs. It's going to take a miracle for these guys to win more than one playoff series at the most.

I know not everyone is a fan of Thib, but he turned one of the most hopeless franchise in the league around.

Everyone is talking about Randle being the savior, but Thib is the savior imo.

Why is this the gameplan? It's been established he's an awful playmaker, Get the ball to our POINT GUARD!!! Come on.

PG isn't the problem so far today. Your "second option" Morris has been awful all game. We're also not playing any defense at all.

Yeah 1 game where Morris had an off game compared to other 8 he shoots amazingly from 3.

Bad coaching, no enthusiam, Reggie Jackson strugging to dribble the ball against good defense, Paul George not good in the clutch, and kawhi looks off. Morris tanked today. This composition of a roster is not winning an NBA championship. Gotta trade Paul George in the offseason and revamp the roster. Maybe Beal for George

We would be much better off with a disciplinary coach like Thibs not a "players coach".

Our lineup continues to have absolutely no chemistry together.

Exactly all of this. Kawhi was off. Morris played horrible. Paul George once again as usual did absolutely nothing in the 4th which is a joke as a max player. This roster is ALL OFF.

We needed to sign a playmaker guard to play with Kawhi, not someone at the same position with an ego and no clutch gene.

Trade PG for a real guard next season IF Kawhi even stays. I have my doubts..

Paul George is a problem. He cant be the primary ball handler, he cant be the guy to take the ball up the court. He holds it far to long, everyone stands the **** around, and this happens a lot. Then he shoves a bad pass to someone at the last second. Its just terrible offense, no flow

Hopefully we can fix the rotations in the next few games. I feel that's the biggest issue is everyone seems out of sync.

Exactly, need to write down every max guard in the league and decide who would be the best fit with Kawhi, if Kawhi stays. Beverly aint it. Rondo is nice but old and needs to be played 20 minutes a game. the PG/Kawhi experiment aint it. I said it when it happened, SGA was a way better fit.

Thankfully the Nets beat the Nuggets

3 seed is still in our hands, we’re 1 game up with 4 to play, 3 of which are against teams openly tanking.

I’m fine with keeping the starting lineup as-is, but I’d like to see the second half rotation altered to have Rondo play with Kawhi+PG more and the bench unit less.
