We will never win anything and that annoys the **** out of me

It’s hard to win of course but man it feels like we **** up the easiest **** so that makes it worse

This one is on Doc for some baffling decisions and that’s not going to change

Morey this is why you need a legit 3&D wing. A bunch of slow 4's and undersized guards aren't going to get it done.

The problem with this 5 man unit closing the game is the lack of defense. Probably should put Tucker or Thybulle there instead of Tobi or Maxey
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

People in here at some point was talking Maxey could be a top 10/15 player in the NBA lol.

Even some pushed to maybe top 5 haha.

We have to stop overrating our young players, it was the same thing with Ben.

The Celtics are starting to take distance as the first seed too. Miami is killing the Bucks and the Celtics are beating the Nets

You can't win in today's NBA playing 4v5 on defense.

Oh well a nice little kick in the mouth. A loss is a loss it happens but this team had absolutely no answer for not only Shai a big athletic guard or OKC a bunch of lengthy , athletic players which highlights a bigger issue. Doc was outcoached and the team has some obvious flaws with the roster construction that doesn't seem like they will be fixed this season.

It was our problem last year, we lacked a lot of athleticism and lenght on the perimeter, which is key in the modern NBA to cover ground, run the floor, etc.

Old PJ Tucker, scrub House and undersized Melton won't get it done.

Yeah and the problem is that when rookie extension is looming, everyone has to warm up to the idea of maxing or near maxing such player, that's how mediocrity happens, giving huge money to the Bum Simmons and Maxeys of the world.

Terrible defense and the biggest culprit was maxey. That is a horrible loss going on a big west cost trip. Having maxey on SGA for majority of the night was farcical coaching. Melton should have seen more minutes.

We’ve become dreadfully mediocre. This can’t be the final product of this team. A shakeup is needed by the trade deadline. Doubt we’re gonna get that though.

On the bright side, it was good to see Doc playing Shake and Reed plenty. At least give the young guys regular rotational minutes to see if anything’s there.

I still hate the PJ Tucker signing. What a useless player for us. Too old for what we signed him to/for.

We need a couple run/gun wings. Move on from Korkmaz, Thybulle and a couple others.

And then our offense would suffer as a result.

Really hope Morey sees what Maxey truly is. We can’t win with him playing heavy minutes with the rest of this roster. Call the team across the border.

Not gonna declare him our savior or anything, but Doc needs to consider adding Springer to the rotation. He can't be any worse than Thybulle and Tucker are on offense, and obviously he is already better than Maxey, Harden and Korkmaz on defense, no?
