I hope so dude, our deficiencies are been shown up in the bright lights of the playoffs. In 4 away games we've scored over 100 ones (probably), by 3 points. That aint winning ****

Commentators on national TV just saying the exact same thing. Bad regular season shooting team becomes a worse shooting team in the playoffs

[Redwood]

Damn it, we are 3 years into total rebuild, what kind of moves you wanted and for what??? We are not contenders yet regardless.

Three years? Try 12, literally.

It's why the frustration level is so high. Repeatedly failing the rebuild, as we've done, doesn't reset the timer. This latest attempt is the best yet, we just need some obvious moves to push it over the top.

Like what? Trading for LeBron James for picks? What move could take us over the top this season?

It's about building properly, the obvious weakness of this team is shooting. We know it, everyone knows it. At best we have streaky shooters and that's not what you want to rely on in the playoffs. I believe we're the better overall team than Cleveland, but streaky (and undisciplined) shooting can negate any advantage we have very easily.

This offseason will tell us all we need to know about whether we have the right front office personnel or not.

I want to thank Mosley for never letting this team give up. Even when it was hard he made them play through it.

I know everyone points to shooters, but I think Knightro was right - we need 1st option.

Not one of Knightro's best moments

[SloNick Russia]

To improve our offense we need someone like Young. I dont see Garland and Mitchell totally destroying their defense we can get by with one smaller guard.

Young??? So Paolo will not ever see the ball again?

The team likes to say they've been building this family for three seasons and continuity is best. Now I think they can say that Paolo delivered while the family failed. Could justify big changes.

Have to see that after this performance.... We now have all the flexibility in the world all the cap space.... There's no excuse anymore

Franz will work on his game like crazy. Paolo will get more patient and take better shots. We might need to get a rim protector, a truly good bench scorer and a starting guard.

[Bensational]

Suggs getting fouled on both those attempts. Could’ve been a 5 point swing.

[Optimus_Steel]

Very frustrating specially after getting up 18 but lack of experience and shooting were the factor. Too many bad decisions and lack pf execution and playing tight. We will learn from this. Plus a major upgrade at SG coming.

[Bensational]

Cole you **** idiot.

Why the **** is he out there?

[pennyfan94]

A mobile rim protector and point guard this off-season if we can. Wish we never had a big lead in this game, but great season.

[ogmagicfan]

the refs really scared our team once they realized they werent getting the same calls we got in the 1st half

I mean look at that Suggs 3 where Strus made contact with him and stepped into his landing area, and no call

2 clear fouls with a ref right there, arguable flagrant

the calls were made

[JF5]

This team needs experience and development and shooting. It's a process...

I know everyone points to shooters, but I think Knightro was right - we need 1st option.

Paolo is not 1st option?

AB is a starting guard next season if we can't get a FA

Can't even shoot ft's in the second half. Also the refs have boned us but not as hard as we've boned ourselves.

[IllMagic04]

Markelle Fultz should have played more in the first half when we had the lead up to 18! Keep attacking the rim and get keys guys in foul trouble... Coach Mosley dropped the ball

That wasn’t gonna stop the onslaught. We needed to be poise in the face of that run. Cavs haven’t been hot in the 4th. We just can’t score enough on our side

Oh bull. They’re not even trying. You think it takes 3 years to see where they’re weak? And then the nonsense they pulled in the lottery really screwed the franchise. As did leaving this group of bricklayers intact at the deadline. Stupid **** blind homerism drives me nuts.

Omg calm down, all this will be addressed in the offseason

Wasn’t last offseason and it needed to be then. Wasn’t addressed with 2 lotto picks. Wasn’t addressed at the deadline. Why do you think it’s gonna be different now?


Watch them throw 40 mil a year at Klay Thompson.

Paolo says hi

I wasn't convinced at the time, but I am now. Paolo has volume, but not the efficiency. Add Mitchell to this team and we are golden.
