I'm disappointed, I thought they were more competitive than this.


Unfortunately this is becoming the theme. They keep choking in these " higher stakes games" .

Essentially the two most important games the rest of the year and we get blown out in both. I get where young and have time but this just sucks.

Suggs definitely the heart beat of the team but his absence should not cause the team to play with indecisiveness and lack of urgency.

I'm less worried about a large Suggs contract than a Franz one at this point. He's deserving of one, but that three pointer needs to get right. Can't just be a Wizards-Pistons destroyer merchant.

Dangle a 9figure extension for Suggs!!! Let him comeback asap!

Seriously though, you would have thought the guys would circle these 2 games in their locker room calendar.

Caleb Houstan: 22 minutes, 3 fouls, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, no points on 0-2 shooting.


You could get more from a local high school player.

But he’s better than Jett Howard.

Agreed. They increased their intensity in the 2nd half and we failed to respond.

Yeah it's disappointing. The mental clock isn't there. Can't be messing around, playoff positioning is a thing.

Our stars are the ones who are supposed to take over these games. We blame the little people far too often and don't point the finger at the guys who are supposed to lead the team.

It doesn't matter though, we all know this team isn't ready.

We probably should have Black in over Cole. He's a better shooter.

Cole is the only one actually doing **** lol.

He missed a three but Franz had a layup.
