    There's a reason we crash out, the game was so one sided.

    Good, refs were horrible in the 4th. should have been a flagrant for crowder hitting green in the face on the layup attempt, did not overturn the Amen out of bounds when he clearly didn’t touch it, several time Sengun was mobbed downlow with no call, the BS touch foul on brooks while rebounding, that no call on green’s 3 point attempt which was a foul, the clear block that was called a charge on the fast break, the clear foul by Sabonis on Sengun driving past him that led to the technicals at the end. Could go on and on.

    Without watching the game, i cant say. But reading the GARM, a lot of posters are complaining about rubbish calls. The Zebras are united man.

    The officiating was poor and we needed to play better honestly, but I love this team lol.

    We're not soft at all and will definitely compete, let you know and get on your a**. :D

    We have killer instincts on the team and we're here to win every game.

    This is the birth of Super Saiyan Ime but also the demise of the Cool headed Ime.

    Ime is so funny, he starts going off on the refs and the media get overwhelmed and shut it down quickly. As soon as he said "****" early in the question, I knew he was about to lose it hahaha That's what I love about him.

    Honestly though, if you can't score well on a starting lineup featuring Sabonis, Murray, Derozan, Huerter and Fox then you share a pretty significant portion of the blame. There's no good rim protector there and 2 bad defenders on the perimeter. We should have been able to put up 120+ tonight even with the missed calls.

    I think it was late in the 3rd or early in the 4th, he has Amen, Adams and Green out there. Like, why? Why do you have 2.5 non-shooters on the floor when you need to score and the other team is vulnerable defensively? Their team has no choice but to pack the paint, they can't guard anything on the perimeter and they don't have a rim protector. You put 4 shooters around Green or Sengun or Amen and they will not be able to adapt to defend us. You can also go Green/Amen or Green/Sengun and our 3 best shooters around them. It would have been great to see if Landale, McVeigh or Jeff Green could have given us some extra spacing tonight.

    If Ty Lue can get JVG to be his defensive coordinator, I really don't understand why we don't hire an offensive coordinator. Even if it's just to lobby Udoka to play more of our shooters or make a case to the front office that we need to strengthen the shooting in our rotation. I really think it would be an excellent investment for us and for Udoka's own development.

    No I won't. Because I can't afford it...

    I’m not usually a refs guy but the way Sengun has been officiated this season is really notable.

    Skill level wise Sengun has leveled up from last year to my eye.

    But efficiency is down because he’s getting mauled constantly. Part of is his unorthodox style of play, but you could really call a foul on every post up or drive. Feels like the defender is allowed to literally do anything to him as long as they don’t jump on a pump fake.

    Not sure what we do about it.

    It's a league-wide trend, they seem to be calling fewer fouls overall and protecting more 3pt shooting.
