    starting the playoffs with 3 game losing streak and a bad Jalen Green is concerning

    His awareness is way too slow to be in that category. Past week proved that we can let half of core 7 go without hurting our chance in the future. Still good players but not enough to win us a chip but good trade pieces.

    Jalen can’t beat double as #1 scorer
    Cam has tunnel vision
    Reed is way too passive on offense with poor defense
    Tari is either amazing or useless no middle ground

    The real question is who the 3rd option on offense.

    Amen Thompson needs to up his scoring.

    Resting all our guys for the previous two games and having them stink it up for this last game is not how I wanted to see our guys finish the season. I am a strong believer in momentum, and we're shooting ourselves in the foot by not at least having some kind of momentum going into the playoffs.

    I'm pissed because I stayed up late to see this so-called "dress rehearsal" and it's been complete garbage, besides a few nice dunks from Amen and Alpi. Jalen has been the worst player on the floor and objectively terrible in these last three games. Our defense seems to have no motivation and we're not running back.

    Udoka better rip into these guys and start prepping, because a week will go by in a hurry and if we're not ready, game 1 will be a blowout--and not the type we want.

    Luckily, our players have shown that they respond well after a few losses, and I do think Fred, DB, Steve-O and the other vets will have our young guys raring to go. But having a week off with the taste of this game in my mouth is not the way I wanted to end this superb regular season.

    Tari and Cam are mayor and co-mayor of the trade block right now.

    Funny way to show "appreciation" for the fans...

    Not fighting hard for rebounds to avoid injuries is one story, totally forgetting how to make shots is the other.

    Was surprised to see the starters play today - even more surprised at the score. I also am not sure if resting everyone for games 80 and 81 and then playing like ass was such a good idea.

    Let’s go! Get nice and humble before the playoffs start. Hopefully this saves us from a similar looking first playoff game. It’s hard to get up for a game that doesn’t matter but this is embarrassing either way.

    Denver Nuggets want 50 wins. Get home court in 1st Round.

    Rockets just don't care about this game and would rather rest.

    James Harden and Kawhi Leonard will try to get revenge on the Warriors.
