at least the Lions win in NO will soften this bad L 8-)

Why our players, even the ones with hoops, are so afraid to dunk on other guys? They never go full strenght to the rim even with elite athleticism. Guys like Dre or KCP should be perennial posterizer dunkers.

I'm just going to stop guessing which games we and lose.

Just never know which team we are going to bring on the floor

We lost this game because of awful collective defense and really underwhelming games offensively for KCP & Tobias.

No one is blaming Reggie for this loss. I certainly am not. I just see Ish as a better facilitator for the starters. Reggie can score all he wants if he plays as the 6th man

And I'm saying this is a huge overreaction and shouldn't be a legitimate discussion imo.

This board is known for overreacting after losses. I don't even want to imagine what would happen if we went 1-9 like Atlanta just has in the past 10 games

I'll chalk this L up to Reggie's first game back, but this team, especially with the Stanley sideshow is still very much a question mark.. Sometimes we look like we can take out the Cavs, and sometimes we look like a lotto team.

Huge overreaction? Are you serious? It's a fact that Reggie isn't a great facilitator. And with Reggie scoring with the other bench players, the starters can get theirs still. This isn't about who is better or worse. It's about balance. Good lord.

We still a very very young team. Wolves are much more talented than us and they're an awful team.

Yes huge overreaction, nobody would be suggesting this if we weren't losing to the Magic today.

You start Reggie because he's objectively a much better player than Ish, as lots of people seem to have forgotten. Also, don't forget Reggie averaged 9 assists with us in his first season, he scored so much last year out of necessity. With a stronger rotation and full season of Tobias Harris + KCP taking a bigger responsibility offensively he can look to be more of a playmaker.

Sad how easily fair weathers give up on their team.

In SVG We Trust · Post #257 » by **In SVG We Trust** » Mon Dec 5, 2016 1:15 am

To me, KCP has been again our best player. We need to give him more touches.

Lol I give up. No point in discussing anything with you. Incredible

The Moose · Post #259 » by **The Moose** » Mon Dec 5, 2016 1:17 am

Magic were 36/56 on 2pt fg, that is 64%.

That is also unacceptable

No one on here is fair weather. Some folks get overly optimistic and then vent their disappointment, but that's different.
