- I hate the idea of the Lakers or GS acquiring Vucevic since he always kills the Celts...

JB has been flatout selfish this season lol. Dude isn't even thinking about passing most of the time he touches the ball

Gonna have to close out harder on Vooch tonight. He's having one of those games.

If any contender bags Vuc at the deadline they could be in great shape. Warriors with him easily get back to the finals.

That's fine.

He's making the right plays now.

A little selfish won't hurt.

KP should guard a corner shooter and not a shooting big up top. That's Joe's call. KP's instinct is to protect the paint. Put Tatum on Vuc.

Can someone tell this team to play defense? They think their explosive offense can overcome lousy defensive play. 67 points by the bulls lol. Are the bulls an explosive offensive team?

The right play is never to dribble the entire clock out in one spot and chuck up some bull

There was still like 9 seconds on the clock there’s just no need to take that shot. Brown can certainly pass and has moments this season where he had some nice assists games but sometimes he refuses to make quick reads

Sure. “****, i botched 3 for 2. No immediately obvious pass? No problem. Shoot, took too much time thinking. Gotta shoot at 33. KOBE!”

He’s just one of the slowest decision makers in the league. It is no wonder why these guys couldn’t get over the hump with both him and Marcus Smart featured so heavily. Just too much boneheadedness.

Could have been a lot worse/ugly at half time.

Not happy right now but not going to panic either.

Puke-a-Vuc is not going to be draining 3s all night, that's unsustainable

More often than not his selfishness is crowned by the other team scoring on the other end.

Had to catch up. Wth is Vuc hitting 50-11 3s in a row????!!!

Jrue 0 pts in 19 mins. I don’t know what he’s doing there.
Our defense is particularly terrible tonight.

Derrick White has been solid.

Why isn't Queta playing?

Jrue is too good and professional to be down for long, we will see a stronger second half from him.
