Tough stretch, i think it's too much of a whole to get out of.

It's criminal that Gallinari carried us offensively in the 4th quarter, but Trae never even let him touch the ball down the stretch.

Too much hero ball.

Tonight, Trae deserves to be roasted.

Atrocious final 5 minutes from him.

Like each time where I watch the whole game in replay, it was a W... and No. First time like that this season, but I really thought they would win it.
The positive point of this game is that they almost took the W, with a bad shooting Trae, without John, and on the court of the best Eastern team.

Now, not sure if Bogi and Gallo can be on fire every game like that, but we just needed Trae to be at 4 or 5 on 17 to have a different scenario in the end.

It's hard to add a L, but this one is certainly the most positive L on the season

We got Toronto tomorrow so I look forward to us getting the win. Let's not start the second half down 0-2
