brogdon may have hit that 3 but Timelord had an easy dunk and should have taken it

It’s infuriating right? He passed the ball while he was two feet away from a dunk.

I don't understand this. Three is more than two. Why was he wrong there?

because Timelord had an easy dunk for a guaranteed 2 but he passed it out for 3 on a night when this team can't throw it in the ocean.

Bamba was in front of him. Give the guy a break. He’s coming from a serious injury and probably had second thoughts about going strong for the dunk. And yes, his decision to pass proved to be a great play.

Bamba wasn't in front of him.  had a clear pass to Brogdon.  Timelord was right under the basket.   even if he doesn't dunk, he's got a clear layup

D-White needs to play better. 3pts, 3rebs, 1ast in 25mins is unacceptable.

[Atzar]

Well that didn’t give me the warm fuzzies.

[tenn_smoothie]

So much for all that mental toughness, huh Marcus ?

[jpotter33]

Terrible loss. Pathetic energy throughout. Better come back and blow them out on Sunday, because this has been a really bad stretch of basketball since Golden State.

[SCeltic34]

Better start figuring things out.  It starts with defensive rebounding and reestablishing better ball movement.

[radiohead]

Bounce back on Sunday.

[Silas]

11/46 from 3 with poor defense.

it's the White of last year.  no surprise he played well when the team was winning and the team is struggling as he's gone back to being invisible on the court.  he's by no means the only factor but he helped get this team some wins when the J's weren't having a good shooting night

yup.

[Ed Monix]

I’m sorry to be a prisoner of the moment, but if there is a positive trade out there for Derrick White, it should strongly be considered. He’s continually demonstrated he’s a shrinking violet when the team needs him to step up.

If i remember right, Bamba and another guy were within Rob’s vicinity and could have challenged him. As I said earlier, Rob probably didn’t feel comfortable going up for that shot for some reason (maybe because he’s coming off a major injury) , and he made a great pass which resulted in three points. I guess let’s just agree to disagree on this.

Meanwhile, the Warriors have not won a game since they played us.

[RMO]

They really just can't pull away from Milwaukee

46 3-pointers ? Are you kidding me ?
Does Mazulla not see that they are missing 3's all night - maybe a change in offensive strategy is in order mid-game ?
What do you think Joe ?  I don't see this guy coaching us to a championship.
