This team is just not good enough right now.

Not good enough defensively. Not good enough at making free throws. Not good enough at protecting the ball. Not good enough at forcing turnovers.

Where was the foul by Suggs? Refs are weak sauce

The bad free throw shooting is hard to overcome. It has to get better, it's non-negotiable.

Offensive rebounds and free throws killing this team

Evem if we make shots we still can't hit a FT or rebound

Just awful defense. Fallen off a cliff in this area

Goga looking to kick the ball out and looking everywhere but at the open shooter behind me was so frustrating.

Our center play every game has been incredibly bad. We also need something from Bane at some point.

They can’t rebound to save their lives

TDS that was such a bitch move! Take the bad shot you got for yourself instead of forcing Bane into a bad last second shot.

Goga has to go as well. Spending 8 million on him and 15 million on DNP Isaac is a war crime

Paolo should've had 10 assist if his teammates hadn't blown them.

This team is so annoying, just fundamentally sound things, we can't do at all.

I'm ready to try Penda or Orlando Robinson at the 5.

Agreed. This league is increasingly turning into “how many free throws can you make” with the level of parity and whistles. A team that makes like 65% like this team isn’t going to win many close games.

I still am completely befuddled as to how this teams defense got this bad. Everything else checks out, but they are not stopping anything in the paint lately. I don’t quite understand how it can fall off a cliff like this with the same roster.
