    Don't forget House missing the FT that would've given us the lead. This was AFTER he gave up that 3. House single handedly gave OKC that game

    Mind you he didn't have to help because Green was there. Very stupid

    Good to hear, I guess. Except we needed Covington on defense not offense. All these coaches go offense defense the final minutes. Carlisle put MKG on Kawhi in the final possession etc. I don't think I have ever seen D Antoni make a tactical move like that...ever. Give credit to him on over all scheme, but in game I'm not sure what he even does.

    Its not about win or lose. Even if we won it would've been a stupid decision to leave Covington on the bench. He is your best defender. He is your third best player, currently second with Russ out. You traded Capela and a first for him, clearly your GM and franchise values him. Win lose or draw do it with your best god damn players on the floor. Give yourself a chance instead of sabotaging yourself.

    He admitted his error, we will adjust.

    If you guys distrust him so much, why are your expectations so high?

    Expectations to not bench one of your best players is not too much to ask. Lose because you get outplayed. Lose because you get unlucky. But there are certain ways you lose that are inexcusable - don't beat yourself, that's not so much to ask.
