All anyone cares about is defense here. It is dumb. You need scorers.

Fournier is awesome. We should have kept him.

But that's terrible D by Tatum. I can't get over how bad he's been.

Lots of things to complain about but this loss is solely on Tatum. It is a long season, turn the page.

damn, that 3 by fournier was a killer.

that play was a microcosm of our D this game. many times this game we have played the PnR poorly and left someone wide open, either the shooter or the roll man..

Thibs allowing his team to give this away. He's so overrated. And is Randle the best player with the worst BBIQ in NBA history?

Tatum is just ice cold and is in “long 2” mode. Not a good mix.

When Jaylen gets hot early he starts to overdo it and force too much. He starts dribbling like he’s doing an And1 mix tape.. and while his handle has improved, it still isn’t that good. Had a couple turnovers just from overdribbling with weak handle.

we've been switching screens so it probably should have been rob coming out to contest the shot there.

sometimes it's hard to tell which guy messes up when we misplay our PnR D - usually it's a combination of both defenders..

That play you are talking about always give the three point shooter an open shot. Always! Makes no sense

Yeah hate when Brown does that overdribbling crap when it’s not needed. Barrett got a steal and dunk out of it when he was a non factor. Next thing you see is him hitting 2 big threes. Little things like that kills this team
