Throw away game. I'll be surprised if OKC isn't in the finals.

Treadmill team

I don’t get not sitting Giannis after the triple double.

Not at the level of the elite teams

Giannis had 1 less assist than the rest of the team combined.

During the 2008-2011 period on this board we all talked about how Presti was a genius.

15 years later he’s still a genius.

That said, we have the ring. Amazing.

We couldn't hit the side of a barn tonight. Missing wide open shots all over the court. I have no idea how Giannis had 10 assists considering the lack of shots going in after the 1st quarter.

Combine this with us rolling out the red carpet in the paint on D, and it made for a really unpleasant viewing experience.

To top it all off, we made Caruso look like a capable guy on offense. That's just rubbing our noses in it.

I don't get keeping him in to get it

If Brook isn't going to meet Hartenstein at the top of the key then he shouldn't even be out there. He'll hit those floaters all night with zero pressure as long as Brook is guarding him.

Giannis is awesome, but every other player is mediocre. KPJs youth might give us a way out of this mess.

We missed 2 layups that would have cut it to 11.

Spazzzzzy team with aspazzzy coach. Giannis is the leader of spaz. This team is not worthy of even the first apron. Giannis has become lazy.

F**k the NBA for a lot of reasons, but in this case f**k them for putting marquee match-ups on the 2nd of a back-to-back. Otherwise we'd know one way or another if this team was totally cooked.

It was a pretty underwhelming game from our older players, by their standards. Kuz was a bucket of ass (about the only bucket he got in tonight), but his illness was a mitigating circumstance. The lack of oomph on d & the boards was uncharacteristic, at least.

At least last year we beat a top seed or two

For the MVP race... Giannis a triple double against the leading MVP obviously puts him over (green font).

Nobody in the top 10 had a clear advantage against us in the head-to-head, & we had it on about half those teams. It was the case for us to turn it on in the postseason (we just couldn't stay healthy). This year it adds to the case against us.

I believe in Giannis and Dame having another gear in the playoffs, but zero faith in Doc pulling the right levers. We are so disorganized, there is no adult in the room with Khris gone.

Doc simply cannot be brought back for another season, regardless of any other major offseason changes. Owners might be able to stop paying 3 coaches at a time some day if their next one doesn't **** suck too.

Yeah it's stupid. In general its stupid.
