down at halftime to a team missing its 3rd best player while its best player is having an off night while we're at full strength.

our shot quality is bad and our rebounding is letting them get away with murder. zu makes us better but sure doesn't look like he was the answer to those key ailments, despite how many of us wished to believe it.

First game with Zu-Westbrook
let's give it some time to bake

bench looks bad
Gordon is minus-13

just a bit frustrating to watch. not good for my health. wish Lue would be quicker to use the bench when ppl are not playing well or are lethargic.

Gettin' spooky in Clipperville. I'll be surprised if we win this one

Man this team makes everything so hard. Going to turn it off, I can't take 3 silly games in a row like this. Mental health comes first lol

If they wanna shorten the rotation they gotta start with more Norm less Gordon

i mean i'm surprised anyone here had any hope leftover after the last two games lol

so surprised if we win this one is understating it, from my perspective

Leonard’s shots hitting the front of the rim. No legs.

Maybe Lue could tinker more and try Bones, Coffey, or RoCo. Something different. Cause whatever this is isn’t working.

Enough is enough. Fire Lue tonight. Don't even let him waste the rest of the season.

circling the bowl

typically when a team lacks heart and soul you should put in guys who actually do that kind of thing

if only we had a couple young guys like that...

Lue doesn't "tinker" at all. He sets his rotations in the offseason based on each player's name recognition, career earnings, and how high they were drafted, and never deviates unless injuries and/or roster moves mean he has to. "Tinkering" is just an excuse he uses to avoid criticism, like Doc's "it's a make-or-miss league."

Need some spark from the 2nd unit, especially Norm.

Mann is minus-6 and not doing much and he's our only young guy except Zu lol

unless you're talking about playing G-leaguers while we're trying to suss out a playoff rotation
