Because that's been the entire theme of our rebuild.

This is so frustrating. Felt like this win would have helped turn a corner, but at least 3 game changing calls screw us. This team isn't experienced enough to overcome that BS. I hope it lights a fire under the team.

Our kids are good enough to take us to the promise land but not walk into the gates.

At least AG finished the game with a tough 3. Well done young man.

Should've given AG the shot before when Meeks was forcing up contested 3s.

Or when Vuc was getting blocked like a school boy.

When you give up wide open practice shots to NBA players they gonna make them. Just feel that Orlando deserved to win this game. Cant say that about most our losses. We have chemistry issues when you give points so quickly in a short period of time. The refs just took away our momentum and we dont have enough talent to overcome it. Dont think Utah deserved to win this game.

Good effort but you have to question some of the combos put out there.

It sucks to be so up and down.

Well, at least AG and Elf combined for 49 pts... didn't think we'd see that this year.

Fournier for the 6th man role clearly would work for us.

It's a constant theme too. Go away from what is working and then decide to just go to the comfortable offensive options despite it being well guarded plays.

Game was lost by the bench rotation. -17 in 15 mins? How does that happen?

Yup. We win this game if Fournier comes off the bench,

It blows my mind how useless Biyombo has become.

Officiating was heinous, but I'm looking at several other things before I blame the officiating. Vogel literally made the conscious decision to hemorrhage points in the 2nd quarter. No exaggeration, he said to himself, "I want to continue surrendering points while not scoring any points of our own, so I'm sticking with this lineup specifically for that purpose." Ibaka didn't look 100%, not really challenging well in the paint, and missed a lot of important open shots. DJ missed important open shots. Vuc made several confusing plays that were very costly and got dominated on the glass by Gobert. There were just a lot of things we did extremely poorly.

That's what he is anyways, I always saw him having a similar role to Manu for the Spurs.

Refs really screwed us on the Gobert flop, Hayward's phantom 3 foul, and the Hood "I just busted my knee so of course it's somebody else's fault".

That's the game right there in that series of calls.

We did nothing to counter it though. Bad offensive choices, bad defensive rotations.

I'm a little salty after this. I need a dip in the ocean.
