4 in a row it is I guess.

Looking forward to playing Denver in the Finals… should be a good matchup…

Fire Mazzula and trade Smart for starters. S&T Grant Williams and try to get Toronto interested so you can get FVV.

Man, I hate that I know I'm still going to tune in and watch the game, even though this is 100% going to be a loss.

This should be the first thing we should do in the summer
Tomase: "Whiners aren't Winners."

Plagued us for 4-5 seasons now
I would start by letting Grant loud mouth go
Then smack anyone that talk to a ref and not hustle back on defense

Obviously let Brad and Joe go

All this after we lose to Denver in the finals in game 7


Not agreeing or disagreeing but just to play devil's advocate, Is it even possible to show that kind of stough coaching with these coddled players of this generation?

I don't want to spread negativity, but this is over guys, sadly. I thought this was our season. :( If we win this, I'd be more than shocked.
Good assessment:

I think we both have a morbid curiosity... I will be tuning in as well

So far in this series, I haven't gotten any type of feeling that we would win any of the first 3 games.

For game 4, I'm getting a feeling we will win. It's not a strong feeling like I've had in the past, but it's there.

I mean, if any team can blow a 3-0 it'd have to be an 8th seed, right? I'm grasping for anything at this point. I'm not ready for our season to be over.

I know you only half mean this if at all but actually, this is probably one of the teams least likely to blow a 3-0 lead. They play the right way too consistently and they are coached by the best coach in the league. We would have had a better shot coming back down 0-3 against the bucks or sixers.

If they don't win this game the series is probably over.

I give anyone credit who's going to watch tomorrow's game. I'll box score watch but I'm certainly not going to sit there for 3 hours and watch this team give up.

Probably puffing hard on the Copium, but Jimmy isn’t the reason we are down 3-0, it’s the role players. We just need to get one win to start shifting the pressure.

What adversity has Caleb Martin or Gabe Vincent faced?

Just sayin, we win one game and get back home and start rolling…role players might turn into pumpkins.

Jimmy is great but being punked by role players is why are we losing.

A back gate, through the shed, past the veggie patch and in the back window sweep incoming. 4 game 7s in a row, Kornet to win game 4 with a triple double.
