Yeah that was a head scratcher along with subbing Fred out for the final shot



that was on Pascal. He tried to jump the passing lane and go for the steal as opposed to letting Giannis catch in the corner and trapping him. He realized mid pass he couldnt get it and scrambled to get in front but Giannis used that to his advantage and blew by him

He doesn’t have the footwork and shot creating ability. Kawhi just uses his length to score demar is more skilled.

No he's regressed since his best season in '16.

He had a hot start this season when teams we're still sorting themselves out. He's lost some speed which has ruined his ability to create separation and get to the basket so he's basically just a streaky shooter offensively and goes through stretches of being hot and cold.

welp . . . there comes a point where the narrative just changes.

We got credit for being top of the league, and somehow devolved into this?

Either Lowry wakes up, or this Era will formally end sooner than we've ever imagined. Leonard is being asked to do this entirely on his own - and it's just not a formula for success.

I hope Lowry comes back - we're lost without him. I can't believe he's managed to get this far into his own head . . . it's bizarre.

- Between Kyle's remarks, Fred's remarks, Masai's remarks and Kyle's play . . . did something happen in the background that's causing him to crumble?

Bucks had no timeouts left. Down 3 you need a chance to grab an offensive board too.

kawhi is the last name you should be mentioning even with that play. If it wasn't for his defence on the Greek freak and Middleton we would have gotten blown the f... Out.

Beal... I don't know about him. Beal is very injury prone and isn't a great defender. I'm going say it till some Bobby or Masai reads this... Figure out away to get Victor Oldiopo...! Fred showed up today after long time... lets hope Lowry shows up or Masai should just trade him. VICTOR OLDIOPO LETS GO GET HIM SOME HOW. Bobby start texting the gm now.

Good observation. I think the whole team was confused after that foul to give was taken by Milwaukee. Good foul there by the Bucks.

It seemed like the play was for Kawhi to jack up a quick 3 out of fear that the Bucks would intentionally foul us to send us to the line. Therefore, we needed size for a potential offensive rebound.

He’s in the worst shooting slump of his career and has given us nothing in weeks.

We should have traded Lowry for Butler even if it meant taking Dieng. We got rid of 2/3 of the problem, but still left a lingering stench from the previous choker core.

to be fair, Kawhi or someone forgot Brogdan on the perimeter. Kawhi followed Giannis into the paint and forgot Brog.

no communication on defense there.

The thing in my mind too is Raps got the lead in that 4th quarter and why have them shoot a 3. Nurse has a lot to learn I think when games are this tight in the quarter.

So much hope after that late Kawhi 3 after being down 10 in earlier in the fourth only for Kyle to brick another 3.
