    Fucking free throws man. Inexcusable to miss that many

  2. number15ismyfather

    Just annoyed more than anything that *this* was how the home winning streak was broken down two starters and even then should’ve won this game if they just took care of business

  3. dnelson7

    It’s so nice to see this team clutch up their defense tho. They really kept fighting hard as possible against a solid team. At the end of the day the FTs are what got us :(. Hopefully we learn from this and really get better in that spot. That’s what contenders would do

  4. Braun_Nuggz316

    THey really need to work on FT in Pratice I IDK how they miss so many FT when nobody is guarding you.

  5. ApplesAndToothpicks

    Lock these boys in a gym and tell them they can’t come out until they hit 100 FTs in a row.

    FTs win championships, and I really don’t like how bad we are at shooting them. Good thing it’s a meaningless loss, but missing 16 FTs is awful.

  6. Superbotto

    I’m moving on to my second bottle of tequila. I may be very upset by today’s losses, but I will move on with grace.

  7. UnderratedNightmare

    Blazers & Lakers battling it out for 12th seed. Gotta love it

  8. Unl1ke_Br0adsterdam

    I’d just like to remind everyone that there is no such thing as a free throw. All throws come at a cost.

  9. Betaateb

    Zeke learned how to rebound at half, which was nice to see. It has been the part of his game that has worried me the most. Want to see him keep that mindset moving forward.

  10. kirkismyhinrich

    20/33 FTs would have won the game. That sucks.

    It looks like CB played well though

  11. dnelson7

    Dame will hit every possible three against us but will shit the bed against the lakers

  12. SecretlyACommie

    I think we got too content with our win streak. No game is guaranteed.

  13. ApplesAndToothpicks

    Both warriors and blazers choked from up like a million

  14. n0t_malstroem

    Vlatko with the 0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0 😤😤😤

  15. dnelson7

    The Blazers are so fucking bad. They need to blow that shit up soon

  16. Dabootyinspecta

    Welp, That sucked but the Grizzlies lost too so there’s that.

  17. Lake_Shore_Drive

    FIRE ADELMAN

    nah jk boys we will be ok

    Free throwing is starting to look like a real Achilles heel for us tho

  18. AADarkWarrior15

    Our FT shooting has been pitiful all year but this was just a new low. In a 2-pt loss no less. I really hope this ignites something and we start getting on track, because having the 26th best FT% is going to haunt us in the playoffs.

  19. Unl1ke_Br0adsterdam

    Gotta give credit to sga, he is talented as fuck.

  20. n0t_malstroem

    Is there a more mid player than Anfernee Simons right now in the entire Association?

  21. PointlessOxygenThief

    This season has been mostly us winning or us giving the game away. Can’t think of more than a couple games where we were outplayed.

  22. vladimir_pimpin

    Gonna chalk this one up as a who cares type of ending

  23. SecretlyACommie

    Lets go on another 9 game win streak
