    Really missed Derrick White tonight

  2. Pete6r

    I know game threads are game threads but I’m a little worried about the mental health of some posters in this sub given the win/loss realities of an 82-game season

  3. HailKyrie

    I still can’t believe they didn’t call tripping on Gobert in OT. NBA officiating is such shit

  5. Goonstah0

    Refs really made that game last forever

  6. Over-Tackle5585

    Messy game at the end. Clearly missing DWhite didnt help but just stupid mistakes at the end

  7. at_least_u_tried

    No Buffalo. Ant went crazy. Sucks for the streak to end but i’m not worried.

  8. PoiZoNxo

    Should have won in regulation but deserved to lose.

  10. luke_workin

    You’d think that the late game offense would look a little different with Jrue and KP. Nope, still Jays iso ball. Nothing has changed. People wanted to blame Smart for the late game stuff, but as 2022 and 2023 showed us, it has always been the Jays. Always.

    The 50 point wins mean nothing to me. We’ve seen those. These games are what really matters. Have they learned from their previous failures? Can they be smart in crunch time? Does Mazzulla know what he’s doing in late game situations? So far, the answer to all of those questions is a resounding NO.

  11. Bi_Gone_Jhin

    Honestly I think we win this game with just a little bit of Buffalo. We’re fine. Still might have some bench problems. But we’re fine.

  12. Neat-Current5007

    Damn did Minnesota win the chip or some shit

  13. bedroom_fascist

    The officiating was poor, but so was the offense execution.

    This is the type of game that makes me wonder if we’ll ever really figure it out. So winnable. Just lots, and I mean LOTS of piss poor decisions.

  14. Interitus_-

    Ugh. I think the buffalo would have made the difference, but not much to be done there otherwise… Minnesota played well. Great defense. Hats off to them.

  16. WhiteChocolatey

    Hell of a game guys and gals. Love you all, have a goodnight.

  17. PML3107

    Derrick White needs to come back by 12 am tonight

  18. VortexCow

    Can’t win them all but those turnovers in the final minutes of the 4th were so infuriating

  19. MinecraftGud

    Last year we lose that in regulation

  21. teito321

    That 1:30 stretch in OT gonna give me nightmares tonight

  22. meselson-stahl

    I’m OK with losing, but damn it sucks to see us falling into the same bad habits as last year.

  23. Beantown00

    Why do we always just stop running any offense and let JB or JT just iso down the stretch of games??? It hasn’t worked for years

  24. ReyCo390

    Anthony Edwards not fouling out is ridiculous.

  27. CaptainTorch_jb2

    We lost this when we went back to iso ball that led to a bad three

  28. Kshpew

    Not enough ball movement. Had plenty of possessions where KP didn’t do anything. Missed DWhite a lot this game.

  29. Vuish

    Again, another game that highlights how important Derrick White is to this team. You can’t be trying to finish the game on moronic decision making like ISO play.

  30. Mission_Pay_3373

    We lost 1 game. Get the fuck over it

  31. thatgreik

    What horrible, horrible fucking reffing tonight.

    I’m very upset I watched this one.

  32. OlivandersPlayhouse

    Eh…games like that happen over the course of 82. It was nice to see us come back, just had some cleaning up to do.

    Would be nice to see us use Porzingis late for some clutch shots.

  33. 1337speak

    It’s only when Derrick White is out you realize how much he helps this team. The ball movement was nonexistent, really missed those hockey passes…

  34. bartardbusinessman

    Petition for Derrick White to only have his sons be born in the offseason please

  35. Brad-Stevens

    Awful offensive execution

    Force 23 turnovers and lose

    Jrue/KP/Al: 10/35 FG, 3/14 3pt

    Nasty work

  36. 59jg4qe68w5y3t9q5

    That OT was really fucking terrible, they literally just left their brains on the bench and started chucking up shots. Did we not have a single play drawn up to execute?

  37. PML3107

    Jaylen is the biggest ball hog I’ve ever seen

  38. BstnIrshGy

    Great team. Terrible coach. Hope they can overcome him in the long run.

  39. nazerall

    OT Loss on the road, against the best defensive team so far.

    Refs were frustrating all game.

    But we were still within reaching distance.

    Not gonna sweat it, on to the next one.

  40. shoestring4321

    I would rather have Al in the game in a clutch moment like that every single time

  41. yesimthatonedude

    Just wasn’t our night. Jrue was off, and White wasn’t there to counteract it.

    Still played well all things considered. Missed a lot of easy looks and tons of free throws.

    Would’ve rather won, but not a concerning loss by any means in my opinon.

    On to the next one.

  42. Virgil_hawkinsS

    That Anthony Edwards fella can ball
