Darko is being out coached every game with his slow starts

It's unacceptable Sportsnet isn't able to show the slow mo replay before the review was over. It's a **** home game and they are owned by Rogers FFS.

Didn’t realized Darko made our bench go 3/18 or whatever it was in the first half

Why did Scottie only play 33min?

How is Darko still an NBA coach?

Trades are needed....You can't say we will have any success in the playoffs....Sure we won 2 games but it was against 2 meh teams and it took so much just to win them 2 games....Losses to teams like the Wizards and now prolly a slightly better G-League level team in the Nuggets scrubs....

Can't say with a straight face this is a serious team...

Its ok... we'll continue to bench our best 3 point shooter just to play scrubs who have done nothing in their 3rd year.

He keeps subbing Barnes out and putting him with the bench unit that results in the opponent going on 12-0 runs before Darko calls a timeout

Trade Walter and Dick for a 6th man who can score. Those two guys are deadweights

Great game. I feel like they got robbed though. Not sure how so many clear fouls result in eating the whistle, especially the 3 from Ingram.
