If we can hit even a minor amount of 3's we'd actually be in this game

I know when my fingers get grazed while shooting a 3, I fall down in a heap too.

I'm saying this, even in my cups of misery. We are good. Just not tonight.

Define 'good'

'Good without Paolo'

"Good when we have Paolo'

What we're seeing is why we suck when Paolo has an off-night. Scoring should not be this hard in 2024.


I'm as mad as anyone watching this but lol they aren't this bad. Its a slump. They aren't 3-27 bad. We are also just an awful road team, with or without Paolo. And we are playing two undefeated teams.

The New Jersey Nets are 4-4. The Detroit Pistons are 3-5. I'm not saying we're going to go winless, but we're in their neighborhood, at best, right now.

this has to up there with one of the worst 3 point shooting performances of all time, especially if you factor how many were wide open

We won the 4th quarter... but then looking back we've won the past three 4th quarters while getting blown out... is that something?

Kinda feel bad for him. He is definitely trending towards RJ Hampton's end here.

He's got a nice tradeable contract though.

That's been the case for the last 2 games. 5/35 just ain't gonna cut it. and many of them were makeable. We need to gain some confidence and get out of our own heads. The defense was sloppy at times... but we held them to 102.

Happy to have GOGA BACK! and can't wait for them to get home and press the reset button with some solid practice.

I'll take the L. The added weight has KILLED his agility (and thus timing too).
