    We stinking lost to the worst team in the league....I don't give two ***** for career highs if they lose or don't play defense.

    Career high...GIVE ME A ****ING break...we lost at home to Charlotte.

    Green and Sengun getting points and giving up MORE points is not a hill to die on.

    Green is so much better without KPJ out there clogging everything up.

    Interesting. I'd say the amount of losses we've had all season with KPJ leading the way is a pretty meaningful piece of info but you think he's one of the main core pieces. I guess when KPJ is out that's when the losses bothers you. Cool.

    Lol. Just sad how out of your way you'll go to defend KPJ. Everyone sees he's the problem

    We just had one of the most embarrassing losses of the season. Now is not the time to go at KPJ. Both Green and Sengun played WAY WORSE than their stats show.

    No they didn't. Jalen Green and Alpi played 40 minutes with positive +/- when their team lost which means those 8 minutes they were on the bench, the team was absolutely dog ****. They were the only reason this game was still competitive.

    Stop with the individual plus minus. Its not supposed to be used on a single game basis and you know it. Both of them were turning it over and were complete trash on defense and dont act like they were not, their plus minus means absolute crap tonight. They were playing the worst team in the league without its best player. This is nothing and I MEAN NOTHING to be proud of.

    No they didn't. That's just ridiculous and not worthy of further discussion

    It can be used for single games when CONTEXT is involved. When you play 40 minutes in a game where you have positive +/- and your team lost that says a lot about what happened in those 8 minutes when you are on the bench.

    It's the high amount of minutes of still being positive in a losing effort. Usually even when a player is doing positive things for their team in a losing effort while playing 80% of the time of the full game, they still most likely will have a negative +/-. It's really hard to be a positive while playing 40 minutes in a losing effort. Like it's really easy for a player with like 10 minutes to have a a positive +/- when their team loses because they could by chance be in the game during the 10 minutes when the team was on a short run.

    Yes they did, the worst offensive team in the league scored 122 points on us WTHOUT Lamelo in the second half, both had awful turnovers and both played awful defense. Watch the game and watch both sides of the ball.

    Again, they played 83% of the game with a positive +/- on a losing effort. They were the least of our problems

    It's very obvious the 8 minutes when they were on the bench was when we lost the game.

    A plus 4 and a plus 2 against the second worst team in the league without their best player means ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. It means nothing they were bad. They played bad defense and had too many turnovers. Jalen also just cannot see the floor well sometimes and dives into traffic.

    Like I said, individual +/- for a single game means nothing, NOTHING.

    All loses bother me - and the lack of defense by all players bothers me.

    There is nothing to celebrate today, NOTHING we lost to the 2nd worst team at home.

    We suck and it looks like that is on purpose and will continue.

    HOOO ****ING RAY !

    PS. I am happy Jalen broke out of his shooting slump and Sengun is playing well on offense, but the lack of defense on this team is mind numbing.

    I did watch the game. If you want to say this team can't play defense I'll agree with you. Outside of Smith, Eason and Tate nobody could guard their shadow. We have no coach, no accountability, and put our focus on a scrub in KPJ who without us would be lucky to be playing in China

    A plus 2 and a plus 4 against a team without it's best player. They were part of the problem.

    Lol, bro we were dead even against a team without its best player and the second worst team in the league no less, I dont want to hear it.

    Bro....we've lost every single game without him playing and to be honest, we havent looked that good even against weak competition and tonight......was one of the worst losses I have ever seen. The problem is much bigger than just KPJ.Its pointless to point fingers at a dude whos not even here when our team is still a dumpster fire without him.

    Lol what do they have to be then? You don't have to hear it. You can merely disengage and calm down.


    Jalen Green and Alpi had 13 assists to 7 turnovers (not great, not bad either) and shot 26/40 from the field and had their team winning when they were in the court.

    Keep up that thought with KPJ as well then, to avoid hypocrisy.

    You can say that. That's reasonable. But Green and Sengun were not reasons the team lost tonight.

    But yes, this team has a lot more problems than merely KPJ running point.

    Can our starting pg have better ppp efficiency in pnr ball handling than our off ball guard who can't dribble a ball allegedly? When can that happen?

    KPJ is miscast. Deal with it.
