They are gassed. Played a lot of minutes on a back to back.

This is a lot like football, where the thinner team just wears down at the end.

Oh well. Don't know what has happened to the defense. We can't get any stops whatsoever. Night fellas.

All of these bad losses man. By the time we ever figure it out with the roster and the dust settles we might be too far behind to sniff the playoffs.

That's a good thing. We don't want any part of the playoffs.

We can only hope to see some of our players get better and continue to lose for a good draft pick.

These empty wins mean nothing.

I was hoping the defense would look better than this with Ibaka and Biz to go with AG and Elf, but not looking that good at all.

Not a playoff team. Soon we will be 10 games under 500 and playing out the string.

I'm really hoping it's the legs. The amount of games in this stretch has been unfathomable.

Seriously dude, you're such a buzz kill. Just give it a rest. Go stroke yourself whilst looking at a Mario Hezonja poster if that will make you feel better but stop being such a negative nancy.


Not to mention you should attack the post, not the poster. Being a mod, you should know that.

I hate to see Green not trying at all and Fournier missing open guys all the time and Vogel doing nothing about it. That doesn't stop him from sending our young guys to the bench for much less. He should grow a pair and treat everyone the same.
Especially on a team that struggles to reach 30 wins.

Christ Vogel can't coach offense worth dick. Down by 6 with less than 3 minutes left and he runs out a lineup with Biyombo, Payton and Gordon and doesn't realize that was a dumbass decision until 30 seconds left and the win is out of reach.

I agree with this. If you look at the tank race we not that far behind. A good losing streak and we are right back in it

Because that strategy has worked really well the past 4 years.

Its NBA, there ton of games. Good teams figure out to grind out wins. Good teams dont lose 5 games in a row at home.
