Down 5, two minutes left. Let's see what this team is made of. Houston has all the momentum right now.

Oof.

[MarxyLebronist]

Un-oof. TyREEEEEEEESE! Stares back at Cuz lol.

[SmellingColors]

It was too much to ask for 2 travel calls on Harden...

[MarxyLebronist]

Trade Hield before 2021 please and thank you.

Buddy rarely makes shots under pressure. Walton should have put Nemanja into the game. Buddy also as is common had a key turnover in the 4th quarter.

Buddy had some good looks but I'm not putting this game on him. No one really had a bad night outside of Bagley, couple things just didn't go our way and that will happen from time to time. Overall, it was a solid game I thought.

[MarxyLebronist]

Then I hope management knows to make the correct decision.

Buddy also turned the ball over down the stretch. Just not a pressure player. Sucks we had to dump Bogi because of him. Hali and Bogi would have been a high IQ back court.

[SmellingColors]

There were a lot of missed opportunities. Not grabbing rebounds, turnovers, missed shots, and blown coverages. Not all of that's on Buddy, but that was not a good end for him. I think it was like 3 or 4 missed, open 3's in the 4th.

One might ask how much better team would be starting the death lineup fox/Hali/Hield/Barnes/Holmes

It’s a weird mix, trying to develop bagley and compete with vets at the same time

Unless you want to become Portland, Sac needs at least one good big. Best to play Bagley and Buddy and hope for a good pick where a good forward can be had. Perhaps Barnes can keep up his good play and get a pick.

I caught the last 2 minutes of the game on tv. Man, that Buddy air ball to tie the game hurt baaaad. Looks like they came to play which is what I want to see so I can't really complain about the L.

Side note: I listened to most of the game on KHTK and I gotta say the fake crowd noise over radio is absolutely awful. It's just a constant irritating noise that began to hurt my ears after 10 minutes.

I just want competitive games throughout the season. If we win games and somehow end up in a playoff spot, that would be amazing, but I think most of us are looking for a high draft pick if not so these games are fine for me.

Would like to see Bagley rebound next game after having such a stellar offensive first half against the Nuggets last game.

I'm about a month away from the pulling the plug on the Bagley experiment. Last night was a case of 10 steps backward.

They had 4500 fans in the building. Did the radio use fake noise or was that the Houston fans?

It was fake noise. You can tell it was fake because it stayed the same audio level throughout the game. I struggled to hear the pbp announcer. Maybe it's my old military ears.
