whenever dell is against size this man doesn't know what to do....you'd think he'd use speed but somehow....he's slower than boston's bigs? how can you be less athletic than a broken down porzingis and a old ancient Al Horford?

WCJ didn’t get a stop and was constantly attacked. It’s over for him.

This dude had the audacity to say....."playoff KCP"

[basketballRob]

KCP is fading faster than Fultz did.

We need Isaac to play 30 minutes why pay him all this damn money to not play him when it counts?

[ORLMagicGirl15]

TQ or TDS I don’t care put someone in.

I vote TQ, he closed the season strong

TQ is not eligible to play but TDS need playoff experience.

Mosley really needs to be called out for playing Carter so many minutes and not playing Goga and Isaac enough or at all. Boston is walking through our defense and scoring at will at the basket. They should have started Black in this series too. Boston just hunts the mismatch for Cory Joseph or whatever small guard we have in there and abuses them. This is really hard to watch (preaching to the choir)

beyond over.....i saw jaylen brown push him towards the rim like paper Mache....like Dell aren't you like 275? you're letting someone who's probably 230 max push you under the rim?

We should have tried to get KCP and Wendell involved in the offense at the start of the game.
Get those two on a roll and that would fix a lot of offensive woes.
Two starters without a single point in the first half? STFU.

If he can't play at least 24 minutes next year they need to dump him. Paying him what we're paying him I'm sure Weltman had higher expectations than playing him less than 15 minutes a game. Something's got to give with him next year.

There would be plenty of ways to make it work

Not really from my understanding (if we trade for him):

I’ll read all that later

Basically:

• Non-Qualifying Veteran Free Agent (aka “Non-Bird”) Exception: A team may re-sign its own free agent who is neither a “Bird” nor an “Early Bird” player to a contract with a first-year salary of up to the greater of (a) 140% of the player’s salary in the last season of his prior contract, (b) 120% of the player’s applicable minimum salary for the current season, or (c) if the player is a Restricted Free Agent, his Qualifying Offer amount.

Which supposedly means we would only be able to offer him ~$18 mil per. You would be gambling that he won't get more on the open market.

I’m not a fan of this Jesse Mermuy guy as the assistant coach. Sounds like he coaches with vibes.

those two are veterans man, they should be ready to go from tip off how are the young guys more ready and prepared to contribute than 6+ year vets.....they get no sympathy from me

[ORLMagicGirl15]

How many players are you allowed to buy out?

[VFX]

Why hasn’t our defense figured out the Center/ Point guard switch ALL night ???

[Bensational]

This dude had the audacity to say....."playoff KCP"

More like “Layoff KCP” amirite?

Finally

[Last Guardian]

Not a terrible fight

[thelead]

[GameOver25]
