    Maglinka punting the summer after lebron is why we're here. If a top dog doesn't come in FA, both need to be fired on the spot.

    This season is oh so very close to being done after this loss. Can't afford ANY more of these if we hope to make the playoffs. It even might be too late anyway because of this one. It certainly doesn't bode well.

    So here we go again. A fantastic win followed by the most inexcusable lose to a lottery team, and one without their best player. If I wanted to experience this type of highs and lows I would’ve went to six flags and gotten on a roller coaster. That’s way more fun.

    Beating the rockets then losing to the pelicans pretty much sums up the season; i hate myself for even coming back here, but i can't quit you...

    Complaint: EVERYTHING. No defense, no sense of urgency, no pride, no teamwork, absolutely nothing to see and cheer for.

    What if the coaching is so bad that even Lebron looks pathetic?

    Rondo/JaVale/Lance....

    Flaming piles of s***.

    And to think we got rid of Zu partly to keep JaVale happy.

    Has this team even been able to string together wins? Was there ever a 4-5 game win streak?

    You’d think this team was figuring things out after the Boston game, then lost to Hawks. Rallied against Houston only to lose to an AD less NOP.

    The C Bags and Rockets games were a fluke. We are who we are... (see Hawks and todays game). Every vet except Bron SUCKS DONKEY BALLS.

    Absolutely zero defense. If we don't sign a major free agent this summer we're screwed.

    There are no words for how crappy this team played tonight. No heart, pride or defense.

    This team and its players lack the mental fortitude for the grind of an 82 game season. How many times have they've won against really good teams and you think they've turn the corner, only for them to lay a giant goose egg the next game against a crappy team? Seriously, this team folds with the slightest amount of adversity and pressure. So what if you think you were going to be traded? At the end of the day you're still playing for the best basketball team in the NBA, in the best city in the world. Play with some god damn pride for **** sake and get over it.

    I kind of hate this team. I like some players on it like Kuz, Ingram, Hart, Zo and starting to really like Bullock. I really don’t like LeBron though, and this team plays as he goes, they follow his lead and his lead is weak. I gave our FO an A for landing LeBron, but clearly he just wanted to come here to make movies and was joining regardless of roster, and the moves we made after him have proven to be awful in practice aside from McGee early on and the occasional playoff Rondo game.

    Just some really stupid moves with view of hindsight though, letting Randle walk for nothing was dumb, he looks very comfortable as a player now. Russell you can question too if you want, Zu you can question for sure, especially for a guy that’s not even playing. This doesn’t feel like a team, it feels like a bunch of guys thrown together, because it is. Eventually one year deals only lead to this, and when one of your only holdovers is KCP, well, lol. I’d be stunned if we make the playoffs, LeBron looks spent and frustrated, and the career minutes stat they put up for him tonight was stunning when you look at it. He’s still one of the greats, but not THE best anymore and without another star or two we won’t be anything special while he’s here. Oh and Luke is gone too, they clearly don’t listen to him.
