it made no sense. we were getting stomped on D, especially inside, and our offense was getting ugly.

Jordan should have been on the floor.

I don't care what the numbers say, Jeff Green at center is a detriment to this team. We can't rebound and we have zero interior defense. I'm getting sick of it. Nash is to blame for not playing Jordan more, and Marks has drawn my ire because he traded Jarrett Allen without a back up plan in place.

I guess we will wait til March but in the mean time we will have to engage in shoot outs for the rest of the month playing the Big 3 40 mins a night.

I'm not even looking forward to our game tonight.

Is that forbidden? I did not want to comment on your board because considering “objectivity” shown in this thread I did not want to risk ban. I was just amazed that someone with this amount of posts you have can show such homerism. Disrespect you demonstrated to a team which played great and won fair and square (not only in quoted post) is just a testament to your one-sidedness.

Marks tried to keep allen. it wasnt an option. it was harden or allen and he made the right call.

He brought in Pelle. Nash refused to give him a second on the floor last night. i assume that wont change. Marks im sure is working on other options. until guys are bought out he is relegated to guys like pelle.

Raps won fair. great. its a team we should have beat sleep walking. The durant thing was weird and Nash continues to coach more to help the other team win their ours. Awesome. do you want like a cookie or something?

Would have been a ton of more open dunks for deandre while also providing some kind of rebounding and shot blocking but hey why would nash want those tings?


Lol. Dude, this isn’t his first time being doubled. On the Rox he was constantly being double even TRIPLE teamed because he was their ONLY player worth paying attention to. And how many times have you seen him taking less than 10 shots on the Rox?

No, I don’t want a cookie. I want you to respect the heart of a champion and the fact that money and stacking teams does not qualify you to sleep walk win against anyone. Once you accomplish that elusive goal - being a champion - you can talk the talk.

It's not forbidden, it's just really weird, stalkerish and creepy. If you had an issue with my comment and my post count, why not quote me in this thread instead of being a coward and talking **** about me on the GB? I don't even know you, man.

This is just frustrating as hell. We are a much better team when we have a big man on the floor on both ends. I am losing patience and last night's foolishness from the NBA didn't help.

Heart of a champion my ass. You guys have made a living off of Kevin Durant being removed in the middle of games. If he didn't get jerked around last night that game goes an entirely different direction. But yeah, congrats, good luck making the playoffs down there with the rest of the cellar dwellers

No, I was not upset about homerism and "objectivity" on your board, because we have it on every single one on this forum, heck, Raptors board is probably leader in this. I was upset that someone with 36K posts, long time member can say something like this

Game was lost on the defensive side. No paint protection, Siakem got what he wanted. We need a player like McGee sorely. You also have to treat Lowry like he is Steph Curry. Double him and trap him. Get the ball out of his hands. The guy killed us cause he couldn’t miss from 3 in the 4th. They did it to us and shut down our two best players on the floor in the end.

Steve Kerr puts it into context.

12 mins or so is fine. But we have been going a majority of our games with no rebounding and shot blocking

This is not sustainable and Sean Marks needs to act.

Nash needs to play Pelle. We have no choice.

Kerr is talking out of his ass though, he played his Death Lineup plenty, it was his big men he barely played just to switch things up.

He was able to do that though, because Draymond Green can legit play point center and is an all time great defensive player. So Kerr was in the fortunate situation where his best offensive players were his best defensive players. He didn’t have to sacrifice anything.

Our defense was bad, yes, but we stopped keeping up with them because Kyrie and Harden couldn’t create shots for themselves. They combined for 32 points. That’s not going to cut it, especially in a game where KD was out.

That game was a mess from start to finish the KD situation was ridiculous. If there was any doubt about Covid he shouldn't have been near the players etc but to then let the game go on once their mistake had been realised was just as bad. It screams of incompetence.

I do think the KD situation effected the team but we were still architects of own doom. I agree with others about Jordan I think we play better when he is on so why not give him more minutes without KD presence we sometimes look overwhelmed at least DJ gives other teams something to think about. Nothing seemed to click last night nobody seemed to be on it. Lets hope we can correct that tonight.

Kyrie hurt his right finger last night on that drive that was a no call. He’s out tonight but KD could possibly play tonight and is listed as questionable.
