    Dark Night of the Soul phase of the season, I guess. One of the worst regular season losses I’ve seen.

    this is the 5th best team in the WC…might even be the 6th best depending on how you feel about the Wolves

    We knew that as soon as Fred blew his knee out. Any other take was copium.

    They’re about to go on a three game losing streak. Contenders don’t go on three game losing streaks.

    The Rockets once blew two 20 point home playoff games.
    They came back.
    They won two titles.
    Sometimes, staring into the abyss of failure helps teams.

    if you wanted Reed to take a final shot and 3s why didn't you play him sooner you ****ing idiot?

    This was the most braindead game I've seen in a decade.

    Kevin McHale wasn't this bad

    Y’all see that clip of Fred & KD? The plan is to wait until the end of March for Fred to come back on one good knee. Ime will ride this out, even if we fall into the play-in.

    I've tried not to complain too much about Ime's game time decisions because I know that's just one part of coaching and he had absolutely transformed our team culture and presided over a massive turnaround in our fortunes

    But this was just indefensible tonight. Atrocious coaching likely cost us a game we should have had in the bag.

    If this is not a championship contender, than there are no contenders, only OKC as the champ and no other contenders I guess.

    If the move to pick up Durant is going to mean anything, we can't just wait for Tari Eason and DFS. This group needs another change.

    Seriously, if they can practice then they can have a couple minutes on the court

    Jabari with 1 hell of a brick 3 pointer and then Sengun missing 2 FTs- game, set and match. Sengun playing like Harden, dribble... dribble. More of this losing, KD will pout and stop playing every game. They had a 25 point lead?!?!?!?!?
