This game frustrated me a lot. After we get a huge lead we were cocky, SJ been really bad on offense and he was bad on defense as well on this game, Drummond got frustrated because he was being grabbed and pushed during the rebounds and was getting no calls, RJ was an ass after we got the 20+ points lead, Bradley is a very flawed player on offense and Tobias is great but not a super star we can relly when we really need him.

Luke Kennard might be our best player in 2-3 years.

We are not a very good team, we are probably #7 to #9 on the east this season.

Our 10-4 record is a mirage, besides Tobias and Andre our team has been trash
- Stanley - trash bag
- Ellenenson - how was this dude drafted at that spot
- Reggie - no explanation needed
- Bradley - streaky just like our boy KCP
- Leuer/Tolliver - probably the worst PF rotation in the league
- Boban - waste of space and 21M over 3 years

What's our bright spots?
- Ish (only bc he is being paid 6M a year and is better than decent at back up PG)
- Kennard (still a question mark, rookie season)

Did I miss anyone?

Oh yeh, Bucks lost to the Mavs by 30 but we couldnt beat them?

Bucks and Pacers should have been wins and we should have been sitting at 12-2

our team doesnt know how to play hard and consistently over 48 minutes or even over a week's time, each win that is attainable must be considered a life or death situation, that is unless we are content in a 6-8th seed with an eventual crushing by either Boston, Cavs, or Wizards

Playing like crap and shooting poorly is one thing, giving up leads and blowing games to easy teams due to lack of focus / effort / concentration only falls on the lap of one legendary porn star, Ron Jeremy. It's up to him to motivate the players and he is doing a terrible job if we can blow a 15+ lead to crap teams in the East

To the bold: Bucks & Pacers aren't easy teams to beat...Lakers? They are!

To the underlined: we all could see the lack of focus / effort / concentration creeping in at various times in various games...SVG saw it and used the media to send that message to the world!

If memory serves there were consecutive post-game interviews where SVG basically said that it's gonna take a bad loss for these guys to get it but that a MATURE team wouldn't need that loss!

That's him challenging the players publicly...and they didn't deliver!

You have players saying SVG & the coaching staff prepared them for everything (AB post game GSW) - you think that's different from any other night?

Coaches come up with the plan and adjust accordingly. Players need to execute the plan or you execute the players - either way there's gotta be a execution!

SVG saw a loss like this coming - he challenged the players publicly and they failed.

Now it's on them to get back on track.

BTW, as much as we praised Tolliver & AB for the shift in mentality the fact remains they're just 2 guys - if all your guys don't bring it then you're still gonna have issues

Major exaggerations. First, Bradley initiated the whole culture change with his approach to the game. "Streaky like our boy KCP" except he's shooting 45% from 3 on 5 attempts per game, and shows up every night on both ends... I get it, you expect these dudes to be flawless and never have bad nights.

And has there EVER been a team in the history of the league that didn't drop games against mediocre to bad teams? It's the NBA. There is a lot of talent, and guys can get hot on any given night. Especially nowadays with teams raining threes all day long. It just takes a few going in to complete change a game, like it did this one.

Who could have guessed... Go on the road, lose a couple close ones and people go looking for the nearest bridge to jump off of... :noway:

This team isn't horrible garbage today because of 2 losses, just like it wasn't a 60 win team because of 10-3 a few days ago.
