This is what the “win is a win” bad habit hand-waiving leads to.

Why is that screen illegal? I don’t get it.

Well deserved loss. Same issue again and again. Now let's hope some change in the next 30 hours...

I don’t think Finch is doing him any favors always putting him on littler shooting guards like White where they can constantly get around him and or create space.

That’s for NAW and Ant to do.

His defense isn't why he's a loser. He's a mental midget.

I think it does matter.

He’s frustrated as hell chasing littles around and I don’t blame him.

He makes stupid decisions too.

But he wasn’t as bad last year so what explains that?

Please get rid of Kyle

think they have to make a move just to combat complacency, players seem to satisfied with their good start to season
and the good start of the season was due a lot to good health vs teams missing players

That was pathetic. A loss is a loss is a loss is a loss is a loss.

Last year he broke his hand before the playoffs. He was plenty dumb last year too.

A win is a win. We didn't get a win. Other wins and losses had zero, zip, zilch, nada to do with this game. A loss is a loss.

Finch can go with him, since he loves Kyle so much.

I’m Ready to put him on the block.

poison pill contract until summer

but the difference between him and NAW for example isn't worth the $$$

I used to have hope he would become something offensively, but I don't think he reads the game well, he's very mechanical, doesn't really react to what defense is doing

TimberKat · Post #153 » by **TimberKat** » Wed Feb 7, 2024 3:56 am

On to OKC - I now have a difficult choice of rooting for Jazz or just switch over to be OKC fan which should be less pain and agony.

his mobility seems 75% of what it was last year, he used to be able to hang with the quicker players
maybe he still has nagging injury still from earlier in season?
sort of like how Rudy was never right all of last year

We’re pretenders.

How you get there is important. Very important.

That was just.... embarrassing

It's maddening but I'm not even too upset. I think its just an obvious point of fact now that our offense is greatly flawed and at least its very apparent. I hope we can do something about it, they can't deny it at this point. Its bad stuff particularly when you need clutch buckets.

Thinking Finch should just consider saying nothing at the presser... been hard on the team in previous pressers and what's been released by the media of coaching tactics as of late.. hasn't been working. Hold the team accountable... what a terrible performance.

Unlike some of other losses where we blew lead, I thought defense was a bigger problem in 4th quarter today. Coby White did make some tough shots though. Anyways, I liked the 3 pt attempts from KAT during crunch time offense in 4th qtr.
