You have to pick and choose your battles in a long NBA season and running the starters down 20+ until the 5-minute mark is just pointlessly risky.

It’s alright. The only thing that anybody will remember from this game is the ridiculous three that Dame hit.

With their size advantage, our only hope was to outshoot them from 3. They hit twice as many as we did. Rough night.

Sharpe was dull tonight

This game was literally Pelicans series 2.0. Just sell out on Dame and watch everyone else miss their open threes

I feel like Shaedon needs some G-league time so he can get his confidence back.

Butler exists and he can play basketball!

Sad we gave up early in the 3rd, I don’t like that, we’ve been down before. Bucks got in our heads with the 3’s stopping momentum.

Vooch and BroLo back to back without Nurk is really rough

We need a new owner, coach, and GM

Losing this game wasn’t chaunceys fault we had like 5 percent chance of winning this one from the opening tip.
What IS chaunceys fault is pointlessly chasing a 24 point lead in the fourth quarter running the starters into the ground.
ESPECIALLY after he said last game that the starters were tired after a 3 games in 4 days stretch.

Waiting for the day Billups will stop with excuses and actually do something.

Chauncey needs to go. Playing your starters with 5 mins left down 20 is fucking brain dead stupid. Your just asking someone to get hurt
rock-or-something
Remember the scene in titanic when the band is playing music while the lifeboats are deploying?
That’s what playing the starters in the 4th quarter felt like.

Jabari Walker: 5 minutes, 2-4 shooting from the field, 1-2 from three, 6 points, and +3 on the +/-. Straightline project that out to 36 minutes and that’s 43.2 points and +21.6!!

One team, whose record is tied for top in both of the NBA’s conferences, beat another NBA team whose record is .500%.

It’s like watching jv play against varsity. Completely different league we’re playing in.

We got ran off the court plain and simple. Drew looked like a munchkin next to Lopez. We’re so desperately lacking size it’s almost funny
BrklynDragon
Too small. That’s really what it comes down too. They had 3 of the best defenders in the league stifle dame all night, and then on offense can just throw it down low and there’s a 100% chance whoever switches onto Lopez will be too small to bother the shot. We had 0 chance of winning, and the fact that people think cronin did an amazing job trotting out 4 guard lineups and having no real backup center is unbelievable. People really tried to pretend Gary Payton II could play CENTER. Embarrassing
thenextburrito
We got fuckin jingled
PsychologicalDuck351
Any chance we see some upgrades in the summer since we will be a taxpaying team?

I look towards the rising sun and I see Jabari Walker

Josh hart was 50% from 3 tn man, I’ll take it. Looked confident in the first two makes too, no hesitation.
Probably gone though lmao.

I can’t figure out what pieces this team needs to compete at the highest level while making the cap situation work. Dame is an all time great but after nearly a decade of me being a watch every game fan even I’m starting to feel burnt out. Can’t imagine how he feels

Atleast we have the photo of Winslow and Giannis

I was sitting in the last row baseline and saw Joe Ingles thinking he looked super familiar. There aren’t many YMCA looking guys out there but all I could come up with was “Shit, it’s that guy Jingles!”
Anyway can’t win em all.

Get dame some damn help

When Shaedon tries to dribble, it reminds me of those awful dreams I get trying to dribble but I can just never control the ball properly like it weighs 30 lbs and I’m club handed

Brick City back in true form

The next 7 games are relatively easy schedule hopefully can rattle off 5-2 in that stretch. We knew we weren’t winning tonight. Just handle business this next stretch, get Vanderbilt in the mix. And hopefully position ourselves for the 6 seed

We live to play another day

Hot take: We need to move GP2 before the deadline. He worked great with the warriors, with us he’s been really bad. Doesn’t seem like he wants to be here, passing up open shots, yet another undersized guard, barely playing any minutes, the list goes on. He’ll never have as much value as he does right now.

havent been watching much this season, but every time I tune in the team looks pitiful. what gives? The roster looked like a 6 seed to start the season.
Crafty_Contribution6
We got outrebounded by 18!! rebounds. That was the sole reason that we lost. Tired of small ball….
super-dad-bod
Game was over when their PG Jrue was posting up on our Center Watford.

It is so sad watching night after night the organization piss away Dame’s prime.

Where is the all guards meme
Blazers made Brooke look like a superstar tonight
Chauncey is an idiot
