SVG just does some weird stuff. Team was looking better with Tobias starting over a struggling Leuer and he goes right back to this.

There was no reason for Leuer to go back to the starting lineup

Sorry bunch of players

We are just a team of terrible shooters and terrible defenders how did SVG build a roster so bad at both shooting and defense...

So flat. Can't watch this.

Dre needs to never leave his man on defense. Dude is always trying to double team or switch.

Yeah it's crazy how bad of a shooting team we are.

Holy hell.

Thats it. Turning this trash off.

Going to go listen to some of Andre's dope rhymes.

They just cut to SVG after the shot clock violation and you could read his lips.

"This is **** embarrassing".

At least one, hopefully both, will be gone in the off season. Cant continue to have 1 good game out of every 4 from your "franchise" players.

SVG (like Dumars) appears to value talent far more than fit. He's too worried about "losing" trades because of getting "lesser" players, which is why we made no moves at the deadline despite being one of the worst teams in the league in 3 point shooting and rarely playing tough defense.

Wish we had blown it up at the deadline, traded for a high draft pick, and tried to tank for a chance at Ball...

Yeah at best this team is going to get destroyed in the first round and get stuck with another huge contract to another non allstar player and wont even have a decent pick either.

We were on the same level as the Jazz going into this season, a young team with tons of potential but the Jazz got a lot better while we stayed the same and maybe even got worse..

Leuer has been awful

That's the thing I don't get. I understand that Gores wants to have a playoff contending team to get the fans excited and get them to buy tickets next season. But I'm pretty sure that the fans would be FAR more exciting to see a young stud like Lonzo Ball, Markelle Fultz, etc. take the reigns of the team next season with a promise on the future than watch a middling playoff team.

Seems to me like blowing the team up would've been good both for future team and financial success.

Nobody can shoot for nothing on this team
