    Let’s go boys! 31 points at the half for a professional basketball team in an elimination game.

    I just wanted to see a good fight. But the offense is nonexistent and refs making sure lakers get fts on every miss. Really blows.

    Probably not. Stone has already baked up the excuse. It just wasn't our year.

    This was the worst half of basketball this team has played all year.

    I can’t even blame Udoka. It’s just pure ****ing stupidity from Sengun, Sheppard, and crew.

    I feel sorry for those who weren’t here in the 90s when we had a real contender.

    Dumbass team has played horrendous offense all year long, but this was easily the worst offensive half of the year.

    Said it all year long: ****ing embarrassment.

    Unfortunately I don’t really see our young guys coming back from this, but I do expect to see a lot of fight in the second half. If they show that, we can go from there
