Game 80: Minnesota @ Brooklyn 4/4

[Nick K]

Aarroo.

I've never been more down on this team so even though we won I'm not jumpin up and down. They need to start playing like this every night.

[TimberKat]

Life goin' nowhere, but somebody help me...

Thank you Kyrie and the Mavericks. Wolves are in the play-in. Not exactly the dance floor we hope for but at least we should be dancing yeah...

I miss disco

They need to play better than tonight. There is no pop to their game. I like to see a 10 or 15 point runs once a while.

[Calinks]

We are allergic to beating a team decisively and without drama.

[Guest84]

Maybe it’s best we don’t get home court advantage in the playoffs if we make it…

Lakers is getting ready to pull a puppy move in Utah. Keeping my hopes up at the moment....

Tied up in Utah

[theGreatRC]

The Lakers were up 10 with a minute to go and now it's going to OT lmao...if they lose this i swear, this season man...

[Calinks]

Lakers were taking care of business but crazily, the Jazz have tied it up and we are going to over time. Pelicans lost today, if the Lakers drop this game it will be big, a lesser version of our Portland loss.

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!

Should we be surprised they won and are 40-40? A couple local reporters keep pointing out we were 5-5, 10-10, 15-15, 20-21 halfway through, 25-25, 31-30 at All Star break, 35-35 .. of course they’re 40-40.

[Calinks]

Lebrons greatness shines through and he gets them the go-ahead bucket. Big time win from the Lakers, they are showing they still got the poise to close out games, the thing we sorely lack.

But they lost a 10 pt lead to jazz in final minute, and barely won...

Yes, better than Wolves. Same situation, we loss by two.

Probably not in all honesty. But the fact we’re 5-10 against the bottom 5 teams is the killer. I feel like every decent year there’s the damn those 6 games we really p****d away for no reason. I get the lack of continuity argument to a point but there’s the part where even the vets that should help don’t in some cases. Probably bad example as I love SloMo, but there’s a lot of pass up a wide open 3 to drive to traffic and put up a bad shot recently where you think even those that know better fall victim to something here.

So the team is amazingly consistent all year. It's the fans that are insane to expect this very consistent team to somehow perform above there consistency - like 3 games above.500.

We will know we have turned a corner as a team when have a season where we put the bad teams away and win our home games at a high clip.

Yes, better than Wolves. Same situation, we loss by two.

We don't have the supposed GOAT.

Not saying they are a great team, they aren't but they have shown the ability to fight through adversity and gut out some tough wins. We were showing flashes of that but all season it has been an issue and its an issue again lately. Lebron came through and got them the win and staved off the collapse. Plays like that are why they are a game ahead of us in the standings. They were horrible all season but have stepped it up after the trade.

But we have Gobert - GOAT on defense
