    It's also just one game too. We missed a ton of WIDE open shots. A ton of them.

    If this were a 7 game series no one would be going "Welp, that's it, we're done for."

    No shame losing to Denver like this, KD and Sengun just played terrible tonight.

    The team can improve. Reed should be more experienced. Hopefully we'll have Tari and DFS back. Hopefully the team just has more experience. No one should be losing a close game to Denver or a double OT against OKC and going "Welp, it was a nice season, we don't have it."

    Yeah they have injuries, we do too, I hate the injury excuse nowadays.

    He’s been selfish for a while now. I miss rookie year Sengun, quick decisions and quick passes. Now he does too much and he flops too much.

    We had numerous opportunities , I think coaching knows but this isn’t a Pop type team can’t ruffle feathers too much


    But this was bad


    The last shot was just bad coaching

    With all due respect, it’s just a stupid argument all around. The teams you listed are established and have played together for years. We are far younger and gelling more every day. We may not be on OKC and Denver’s level quite yet, but is that really your point? If so, it’s a dumb one.

    This team has been playing together at a high level for much longer than we have. We’ll be fine. A completely different team by the playoffs. Rockets are ahead of schedule.

    HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.

    Once again. I'll offer you a lifeline to back up your pathetic post.

    Why don't you find something i've been wrong about recently.

    Should be awful easy for you considering I have 'sh*t takes'.

    Go on. Save face. Instead of being called out yet again and not backing it up.

    Come on 'mate'.

    Your posts are almost as bad as your slang.

    If i was ever as stupid as you and had such little understanding of what goes into a basketball game, I'd seriously consider stop posting on a basketball forum.

    Imagine your crutch is Sengun being bad. That's like, a horrid hill to die on. And then doubling down on it and gloating in his bad game contributing to a loss thinking it makes you look good. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA bro stop it, stop it. I can only laugh so much.

    Home court doesn't matter. We have no atmosphere and the refs never give us home cooking

    Jokic torched Sengun tonight.

    I worry about Udoka's coaching in key games and in clutch moments.

    Goon bricking the last shot instead of getting the ball to the hot hand was a fitting end to that game.

    Reed was actually sprinting back to get a good shot but Sengun iced him and took that heave. I would've preferred giving the ball to someone who actually made his shots the whole game

    KD has been a little suspect in these high stakes games so far. Not concerned but something to keep tabs on.

    It's definitely worrisome that we're 0-4 against the top teams in the league, no matter the point differential in the games. Injured players aside, we've shown over and over again against good teams that we struggle to execute when it matters.

    My layman's opinion is that we need a good veteran PG to settle the team down against these good teams - I know we've been winning a lot of games without a true PG, but I think it's a much needed piece against the contending teams.
