Won't be surprised to hear Dame aggravated something. Maybe the oblique.

Bobby losing his three isn't helping, but he's looking rough because he is out of control.

Dame’s gonna have some rough nights, it happens. Also I suspect he tweaked something in the 2nd half. But this is what happens when you’re reliant on late game heroics by him and Giannis to overcome the worst coach in the league. Sometimes you’re able to come back from down 26 against the Blazers or hang in there to beat a 2-win team, sometimes you’ll get burned by a bottom feeder in total disarray like the Bulls.

This team is a paper tiger. Could be special with a good coach and a few shrewd moves (Bobby trade is a must), but unfortunately only the latter might happen, because there’s no shot Horst fires Griffin.

its not binary. they can play a whole lot better on the defensive side of the ball and still not be good.

Between the below tweet & not fouling up 3 there's some real easy stuff to point to on just basic head coaching strategy that Griff failed to do tonight

a coaching mistake down 5 with 6 seconds to go isn't a very compelling case for why we lost the game.

not fouling up 3 isn't something that all coaches do. i watch a lot of ball, i've seen it not done more than i've seen it done.

anything else?


Having Brook in the game at the time was the biggest one in my book.

Cato the Elder is going to be my new muse. Except I don't care about Carthage.

And furthermore, I submit the team must fire Adrian Griffin.

A simple adjustment like moving our generational freak big man closer to the hoop so we can rebound the basketball. There is far too much of Giannis on the perimeter on both sides of the ball.

The irony is Griff was part of the Toronto staff that neutralized Giannis by forcing him to be a perimeter player.

Let's also not overlook the fact that we drew up a play to send Giannis to the FT Line in the last few seconds. It worked out cause Giannis made the FTs but like wtf

Having Brook in the game when they need a 3


Brook gave a great contest without fouling though.. Caruso just hit an amazing shot. That's not too long after White hits a bunny hop back step 3 nothing but net that was also huge. Sometimes they just go in.

To be fair I don't think Griff is the one who wants Giannis on the perimeter.

Nah he was on the side of Caruso. Shot was already loaded by the time Brook got his big paw up

Giannis wasn't the primary, he was the safety outlet in case the primary options were well defended. Bulls seemed to be really good at defending those inbounds plays so i'm assuming they were forced to go with the Giannis option. Up until that Caruso shot, that was actually a bright spot for me. Giannis stepped up there.

Rather than the not fouling thing, I'm thinking about how our coach doesn't do defensive subs at the end of quarters, and keeps switching everything letting even the Chicago **** Bulls turn us upside down.

Yeah they also don’t seem to give a **** until the 4th quarter and we keep pulling off these bull comebacks. It almost seems intentional until it doesn’t

Why in the world is Giannis even an option? Why was Middleton the one inbounding the ball? It makes no logical sense

Giannis has played in the dunkers spot and it changed Bud’s offense and allowed Giannis to clean up down low.

If Griff wants him down there and Giannis refuses that’s also Griff’s problem.

I know Giannis made his FT but if he passes it back to a wide open Dame we kill another 3 seconds easy
