they're a good but not great team.....we can't expect them to go from a tanking team to a real contender this quickly. You can bring up the Pacers but that type of run is an outlier.


You all agreeing with me while sounding like you disagree. Someone was saying we could be top 3 in the East and I gotta put breaks on that.


It's one bad game.

Kon looks like a stud while our pick CMB is just a decent role player. Crazy how much of a difference 5 draft spots can make.

The officiating is the only reason we didn’t put this one away early. This is egregious.
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive

Their respective situations and roles are totally different.

Feels like one of those games where we have the opportunities to put them away then let them hang in there and eventually they out clutch us and win

The answer is usually RJ
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Somehow RJ is back before anyone in transition defense but still kills us because he won't guard anyone

The ball just hasn’t been in Barne hands enough this game. BI can’t be looking off open guys to take it with two guys draped all over him
