I don't care about our win streak. They better have a players only meeting after this one.

I had a feeling we'd lose with Goga, this is a tough matchup for us.

No Paolo, no Goga, back to WCJ at C which hasn't produced great results without Paolo in the lineup.. I expected a loss.

It'd be more annoying if we didn't massively overachieve for the past two weeks, but this happening from the #1 offense in the league isn't surprising to me.

If we have Goga, Paolo, etc and this happened.. I'd be annoyed. This streak has had people really flipping their opinions over too many things though, including if we're better without Paolo.

I think it's TBD with Paolo. It ain't gonna be top 10 but we could hover around 15 I feel like, with some improvements.

I just don't see it unless Paolo becomes a legit sniper off the dribble from deep like KD. I don't trust Franz or any of the bigs to hit open 3's. Tough to have a good NBA offense when you have 2-3 below average 3 point shooters playing a majority of the minutes.


I think you're underestimating how much other players can fall into place/get easier shots with Franz and Paolo getting attention.

There is obviously a lot of meat left on the bone when it comes to improving areas, specifically either a starting guard or backup guard spot, but the offense of two potential top 20 players in their primes will make us pretty hard to defend in a few years.


This, I think people are just very emotional after this game. Perfect example is having Suggs not needing to stretch himself more as a facilitator. He can just fall back to looking to shoot 3s and play defense.

He's not even bad. He can bully 4's. He just can't bully C's.

They are 12-1 in the last few weeks and lost to a better/elite team. Why?

Ok, glad I can focus on being pissed with our effort instead of that AND missing the tournament.

We responded well after the Clippers loss, hope we can tomorrow too.

You just answered it, and not only lost, but blown out, not showing up.

We're short-handed and have played more games and more on the road games than any other team.
