bleh. i've been pretty optimistic about making playoffs and them giving a good challenge there but for some reason the loss last night really took the wind out of my sails.

playoff seeding and lottery implications... this game should have something for everyone!

go pistons?

I'll take any chance for a top pick instead of watching these ass clowns get manhandled in the playoffs.

Give me the lottery!

If we lose, it should be the final nail in the coffin for this team's morale.

Although the Nets game was basically that too. There really isn't a way to spin this tbh, we've been a complete travesty as of late.

I'll be watching as I have been for a very long time now, and hoping they'll do well. However, I am out of positive expectations for this group. Can't shoot, won't defend, not a formula for success at any level of the game. I was pleased when SVG was hired, but how is RJ still starting? He has basketball talents, but is there a worse "PG" in the league? I'm not talking stats or talent, but affect on the team. Cancer isn't a strong enough word. It's like he's basketball Plutonium. When exposed to RJ they wilt into a lifeless mess.

Ya. A loss tonight, I agree, would pretty much be the end of the season. Lopez will probably be suspended. They played an overtime game last night.
I just feel like RJ and Drummond and even SJ, who hangs around with both of them , are very immature. The first 2 got their big contracts. They just don't seem to take the game too seriously. Sad. See it on instagram all the time. Acting like little kids. Sad.
The true pros on this team should start. Imagine if SVG finally did what needs to be done and started Ish KCP Morris Tobias and Baynes.
Let the children come off the bench

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse . . .

we are gonna win this one, just for the sake of closing 9th and not 10th.

Laughing at hoophabit words. " cancer is not a strong enough word "" describing Reggie effect on the team.

Lopez is suspended for tonight's game. At least we can avoid getting destroyed by another Lopez back to back.

I don't think either of these teams makes the playoffs, but winner tonight probably gets 9th seed unless bucks heat or Pacers fall off a cliff.

Watch us lose this game and SVG still plays RJ in a starting role while basically DNP-Early vacation to SJ.

Please SVG, tell me you're not doing this to spite anyone. That you actually have valid reasons.

Rather than watch this game I think I'll polish my eyeballs with sandpaper.

Yeah right now it looks like a personal grudge.

This is a win, if only because the entire season has gone the opposite of what we want

The Moose · Post #19 » by **The Moose** » Wed Mar 22, 2017 11:21 pm

They are playing Lauvergne and Mirotic at the 4,5.

I expect a 20-20 game from Drummond
