    I was feeling optimistic when AD was returning that we could possibly leapfrog some teams and get to the 6th spot. But now with Lebron hurt and AD hurt yet again I just don’t see it anymore. We are running out of time. It’s likely another lost season.

    Damn it man. Just when you think we are getting healthy, we are back to missing 3 of our best 4 players.

    Another day. Another L.

    Starting to mentally prepare for the clippers or wolves to beat us in a play in game. At least then we won’t have to watch us get swept in the first round though.

    I despise the modern nba. It’s basically a glorified 3pt contest. Whichever team is hotter overall or at the right time usually wins.

    What happened this game: didn't watch it though they had it from the boxscore?

    Getting worried about the standings: really would like the 6th seed to really have a chance

    Can't defend whatsoever!

    3 games below 500. Fun season.

    Train wreck that is the Lakers is completely derailed.

    52% free-throw shooting won't win you many games. We scored 9 fewer points from the stripe, that's game right there.

    This team simply can’t defend over the course of an entire game. Dominique Wilkins and Vince Carter routinely clowned us over it on the Hawks broadcast. When you got two career turnstiles in Wilkins and Carter pointing out your defensive flaws, you know it’s bad.

    We had to win this one. Up 10 to start the fourth. I don’t care if we were missing Lebron. You have to finish this one out and close the road trip 3 and 3.

    Time is running out on the season. We are almost past the point of no return. If Lebron can’t play for a number of games we might be pretty much done.

    Up 10 to start the 4th, no real excuse. 129 points in regulation. Just lost our identity as a defensive team.

    That was a rough lineup to start the fourth and let them back in. Then we just missed too many threes in that last 5 minutes. We missed 9 in the quarter, and they were pretty good looks too.

    No excuse for completely forgetting how to defend the simple PnR.
    Embarrassing lack of defense.
