Nurse playing the long game, y'all need to chill.

I bet even if Gasol and Norm are healthy for remaining games vs. the Bucks, they won't see the floor.

Chess vs. checkers.

McCaw gets 25 minutes a night in his sleep, yet no one on the bench tonight cracks 20 minutes despite being + on the floor.

Nurse better tighten this **** up. Kawhi can't save his ass this season.

Eh I hate the moral victory, but an average game from our starters would've been a big difference in this game, not to mention having Gasol and Powell. Refs with some questionable calls on the Middleton 3's, moving screens, random T on Nurse, T on Lowry, random slip and falls, greasy hand turnovers...we were really battling uphill today.

We're right there with the Bucks, just wasn't our night tonight.

It’s fine. We get Gasol and Powell back and we’re a different team.

Why are people so negative? We just lost to a team that might win 70 games. The Raps have won 17 of 19. It seems like some people expect them to never lose.

Yes, this loss is on Nurse for not playing the bench more BUT

We're missing Gasol and Norm, two known Bucks killers

And at least we know Boucher TD2 and Thomas are viable in the playoffs against these Bucks

Normally, I'm incredibly frustrated with losses even in the regular season. However, tonight was different. I'm not upset at all. For one, I'm glad we lost because it solidifies the idea that the Bucks are the favourites. Second, it brings most of this board back to reality. We aren't the best team in the league. But contrary to what the GT will have you believe, we aren't the worst either. I think there's still quite a long way to go. If we do make it back to the Eastern Finals and Milwaukee is there, I firmly believe we have a shot to beat them. They are mental midgets. And like the way we were during the DeRozan/Lowry years, until they prove themselves in the playoffs, I won't believe a thing. No one on their team scares me. I am legit more worried about the Celtics in the playoffs.

Y'all really need to chill.

One game - lost to the Bucks who have their full squad.

Frustrating yes...regroup and be better.

Serge, Lowry, FVV: 9-41 from the field.

15 free throw discrepancy.

Zero percent chance of winning with those variables.

There are a lot of positives from this game.

Shooting wasn't one.

Worst rotation decisions from nurse ever
Kyle playing for fouls all game
Refs clearly biased

I miss Gasol and Powell
