Some of you are being way too nice. Don’t get me wrong I’m not crying over this loss but this team deserves 0 credit. The only reason they even had to comeback was because they, as usual, played with sticks up with their butts for at least two quarters.

Play hard they would have won. I’m done with moral victories, the only acceptable loss is when they play hard and lose ( like our bad but hard working 15-17 teams).

Yeah, those 2015-2017 teams had a strong mentality. Even in losing, they still fought hard.

This team? All this talent and still losing games left and right? Pretty much the same team that made it to the ECF 6 months ago? Downright embarrassing!

Exactly from possible title contender to this. It is embarrassing.

Lol. We we're never a title contender this year. That was the biggest preseason myth. It was cute, but it was never realistic.

Cute?  lol

Last year they were up and coming. This is a major step back.

We've been up and coming for half a decade now except we keep losing All-Star talent and replacing them with end of bench fodder. I don't understand how fans are so surprised that half conference has passed us by. We're running a marathon when the race is a sprint.
Who'd a thunk losing more talent in multiple consecutive off-seasons than you're brining in would have these kinds of consequences :P

Trade deadline can’t come any sooner. Let’s all hope were a better team by tomorrow.

What makes you think anything will happen.

Exactly, people wanted to act like losing Hayward wasn’t a big deal. It’s a flawed roster. But it’s ok we’ll just keep waiting until there’s no more super teams, it worked when waiting out the Warriors. Oh wait the Nets exist now? Guess we’ll need to wait them out too. Then the next super team will form and the process will repeat.

Yeah I never understood the strategy of waiting out a team or a particular player as if the rest of the league is baking soda.

Smart shot the most threes tonight at the worst rate. I'm no analytics expert but that's not good.

Hayward wouldn't of gotten any shots in that last minute and a half either.

Agreed but watching Smart shoot the most 3s on our team makes me sick. How come no one calls out that crap?

I agree 100%. We're stuck in limbo because Danny wanted to have his cake and eat it too. It's time for him to pick a direction for this team. Either we're rebuilding with youth and we need to move on from Kemba and Thompson and whoever else doesn't fit that vision. Or we're trying to give ourselves a puncher's chance at a title and we need to ship out these binkies who aren't ready to contribute consistently to bring in veterans that can stabilize this roster.
