    Yeah, I think I've seen enough. That 4th quarter was just unacceptable.

    What a cluster. How are vets so dumb with the decision they make? LeBron pounding the ball into oblivion, Russ and his stupid turnovers, nobody matching up with guys for defense. They don’t need help, they need to f***ing care in the first place.

    lebron's prime is over. it was really over last year, but people were too excited about his big scoring nights to realize it. we got a ring out of AD's prime, and he's got a couple more years past this one in which he should be really good. let's focus on those years and think about what comes after. we're not winning this year.

    for this reason I'm glad I didn't tune in. And after hearing of the finish, no way I'm watching the recording either. Such a hard team to root for. Hard to watch most nights.

    The game was excellent until the final 8 mins. We were playing well and in control. Just took the foot off the pedal too early.

    haliburton is only in yr 3, had 12 asst against clipps n 14 against this team, 0 turnover in those 2 gms, makes you wonder type of iq Brick possesses to continue to rack up 5-7 to on any given night

    Haliburton leads the league in no turnover games over the last 3 years. He is on track to be the all time best decision maker from that point of view - real outlier.

    You give Russell Westbrook that kind of IQ with his athletic ability and he could be a top 10 all time player. He just isn’t that guy.

    Goddamn. We go on a 11-0 run powered by AR and what the moron does? Goes (and it's generous -- stands) under on a Winslow 3. All the momentum stops.

    I'll let you guess who the moron is.

    And then one of the bums travels. f*** Nunn. f*** him with the calcified corpse of the Hobo.

    And then Nunn gets blocked on a dunk.

    In other words: This f***ing team would be 9-11 if Reaves starts and plays the last 5 minutes (i.e. crunch time). Actually 10-10 at the least if you take into account the Portland which was again Russ in crunch time and no Reaves

    my wmc continues to be that NO is winning too much. we have their pick, and i want it to be in the teens not the 20s.

    this can't be the year zion williamson, brandon ingram, and cj mccollum become iron men!

    Yeah, I totally get the sentiment, but we can never hope that other players get injured in order to help out our draft position. That’s just wrong.
