  1. Was winnable but losing Nurk to fouls was killer

  2. majorUser590

    We haven’t beat a non bottom 5 team since the LAST time we faced the Wolves

  3. nimbly118

    Had something going at the end there but our centers fouling out lead to missed shots. Weird game.

  4. crab90000

    Refs made this game unwatchable, and unwinnable

    We’re we good, no, but nobody was allowed to play basketball on either side of the ball tonight

  5. burtmaklin1

    I got called for a foul writing this comment

  6. llamalegs100

    So nice of the refs to let us watch basketball after 80 free throws

  7. rexter2k5

    Whole team is bricking it from three right now and it is not pretty.

  8. Ishfluent

    Our starting small forward scored 1 point while playing 33 minutes. That’s just not good enough.

  9. probably the ugliest hart performance of the year

  10. BlackSocks88

    Both our centers fouling out is laughable. Fuck that.

    Also couldnt buy a 3 when needed.

  11. jrances1

    Ass game. Indiana looking real good right now.

  12. Nerdkill789

    The best part of this season is the amount of play we are getting from the rookies.

    Optimistic take: for the amount we are playing our rookies and second years, we are doing pretty well. Always somewhat competitive.

    Josh Hart doesn’t offer ANYTHING outside of rebounding. He doesn’t score and isn’t a great defender. Need to move him on.

  14. BrklynDragon

    If dame is injured or something with his wrist, he should sit his ass down and stop trying to force these awful shooting nights.

    Billups has clearly told his guys to drive and create a more unpredictable offense, that’s the only thing that can explain why even sharpe is passing up wide open 3s. It’s got to stop.

    Hart had 1 point. Ant got abused on defense again and was nowhere to be found when dame was getting smothered all night.

    Embarrassing.

  15. loudstain

    Dame was ass. Jerami is the man. Refs sucked. Passing is a problem. I’m still riding highs, but that was a rough game.

  16. FoxxxtrotUniform

    Rumor has it, the refs are still blowing their whistles

  17. Too many fouls, too many missed shots. You can’t beat many teams when your players are in foul trouble and missing wide open shots all game.

    GG to the Pups, they played smart defense, which was basically not guarding Josh Hart at the 3 at all and shrinking the floor for everyone else.

  18. Kirbyzenthc

    Blazers and pump fakes, why does everyone do it from winslow, to watford, to hart. I know winslow is out, but man if you’re open you gotta shoot the 3…

    we’re going to need to either trade hart or simons, enough with this 3 guard shit

    also 100% Lillard’s wrist isn’t healed from the last time he sprained it so the shot isn’t quite there.

  19. rift_reloadz

    Putting in a Forward when both Centers fould out ❌️
    Running a 4 gaurd lineup instead ✅️

  20. RichardDickrich

    We need someone that can bully to the rim like Edwards did tonight when our shots aren’t falling. I know Hart can do it at times but not consistently. Anybody out there that can get to the rim and make a shot that is available?

  21. ohshitgodye

    Another game where we ice out Grant smh what is this team doing

  22. This game largely falls on Dame. He was what, 2-9 from 3? And down the stretch, HE KEPT PULLING UP FROM 30 FEET WITH TIME ON THE CLOCK!!!!!! As a leader, when behind down the stretch you need to realize when it’s not your night, and find other guys, or go to the shots that are working (driving layups). Stop playing hero ball.

  23. _hamtheman

    This team is so fkn frustrating.

    Jerami on fire and we stop going to him so dame and ant can iso.

    Half the team won’t shoot open 3’s

    Dame doesn’t look the same player atm and he doesn’t look happy at all. His defense has been abhorrent.

    Chauncey started the season with good defensive schemes, but now they’re on tape and they’ve been countered.

    We’re missing a few players but we need to make some more changes at the deadline.

  24. alandwarinasia_

    everyone who isnt named jerami grant needs to think about what they did

  25. You know, we gave up way too many TOs, missed an uncharacteristic number of 3s and FTs, shot horribly overall in the 4th, and *still* made it a game right to the end. Against a good team that was desperate to beat us.

    I mean, I’m never *happy* to lose, but as losses go, I feel pretty good about it.

  26. Noogyfresh13

    Dame is 10-40 from 3 over his last 4 games. Missed 4 free throws tonight.

    Love the letter O but it’s gotta be better.

  27. Almond_bongbong_1995

    Time to set Dame and Simons apart
