So passive when it matters, we are just letting Barnes have his way physically with us.

Wow just so many shrinking violets in this team. They showed up for three quarters and then just morphed into eunuchs in the fourth quarter.

Partial credit given the personnel out I guess but damn we are a team full of mentally weak pussies.

PJ shouldn't try to shoot the three ball off the dribble or a stepback, that's definitely not his game.

I'd honestly say the opposite. Severely out talented tonight busted our ass and eventually talent won. Especially them at home.

At least we didn't get blown out. So I'll count that as progress.

I get it, but the manner in which they were just physically dominated and out-hustled in the last quarter is incredibly disappointing.

New owners have to be **** with the miles situation. Due diligence should have been done to sort it beforehand, pathetic

All i ask for as a fan is all out effort. I think they gave that tonight until it was just too much especially for the young bloods. It's still disappointing, but at this point it's just whatever to me. Between Hayward having the worst stomach bug in the history of the United States and Miles not being allowed across the damn border that sums up the season.

Toronto is a big physical team. Barnes basically plays the 2 for them so he just constantly has a mismatch 10 feet from the basket.

Having probably our 2 most physically gifted players out in Bridges and Mark make this a tough task. PJ, Richards, Leaky Black and Thor battled but they are bench guys trying to guard Siakam, OG, Barnes etc....

We needed to make shots tonight to win and we really didn't shoot the ball very well all night.

Was fun for 3 quarters, more than we can say for most games this season.

Wondering if McGowens might have some staying power on this roster

That I would hate, Unless he develops a corner 3.
But nice to see a competent defender and hustle with legit fundamentals and ball iq.

Other news... miller is already such a smart player.
