It’s only January LOOOOOL


We don't get to say that. This team has a history of planting it's playoff failure seeds in the regular season. I think they'll be in the finals, but issues we see now are absolutely issues we should assume to see in the playoffs, because it's been this way for 5 straight years

I don't understand this. We are a good 3-4 years past the "it's only January LOOOOOOOL" attitude.

Good news: We played "better" after the 17-3 run by the Pelicans.
Bad news: Pellicans went on a 17-3 run. Lol.

It took Joe being down 3-0 to start finally calling timeouts and switch lineups. He doesn’t like to adjust.

I have built-in excuse. No KP. This game means nothing. Porzingis is the new Middleton.

We're so easy to guard when dribbling/standing around

Pritchard has some of the worst misses for a supposed 3 point specialist.

Much rather have Quickley then Hauser or Pritchard.

Tatum on the right block continues to be dominant.

Jrue Holiday just literally runs up and down the court at this point. He doesn’t even impact on defense anymore.

Brissett DNP’s on this team are a sign of how PATHETIC the turd sitting on the sideline is. Pathetic.

We need Jaylen to bulk up to 280 so we have an answer to Zion.

Stevens needs to wake up and fix this bench. Porzingis isn't going to magically become injury proof in the playoffs and the rest of these bigs suck.

If you can’t shoot, then defend. If you don’t do either, then you lose.
