    I missed the game... Love that we blew out the Heat in Miami, they’re fighting for the playoffs, that’s not an easy win. Recording the replay and will watch later, can’t believe I missed IT’s first big game for us.

    Hopefully Ingram doesn't miss any time, but the damn injuries are trying to slowly kill us just when we're hitting our stride. Add Winslow to the kill list next to Devin Harris.

    I'm hoping @CaCHooKa Man makes a purely-IT highlight video of the game on his channel.

    The game was about Randle looking like a superstar in the 1st half and IT returning to MVP form in the 2nd half.

    I’m not surprised when I open a box score and see Randle has 18, 20, even 25 points though. He’s a scoring machine in the paint. When I saw IT had 29 and we had 131 as a team, I was like whoa. Very much looking forward to watching the replay of this game.

    Would have made the playoffs if it wasn't for the FO bad treatment of Randle at the beginning of the season and Luke validating it by not starting him

    We didn't play well early in the season and Luke didn't handle the lineups well.

    With that said, that stupid December stretch killed us, including the 9 game losing streak.

    We were outrebounded....so we got lucky with that win.

    We need bron, but if we keep sucking like this, no star will touch us with a 10' pole.

    Am I doing it right?

    That 9 game losing streak will haunt this team for awhile. To some degree that 3 game slide before the ASG too.

    To be fair...that 9 game slide was due to injuries. Not good for a young team without an established veteran closer. The 3 game one was after the trade which threw the chemistry built prior out of whack.

    Don't worry cuz, we will go on a historic run and grab the 8 spot. Took out the Rockets in 6. Advance to the conference champ, where we lose to the Warriors in 7.

    SPEAK IT TO EXISTENCE!!! My bad, thought this was the optimism thread :)

    KCP thought he was Zo. IT playing like he had a bet to lose the game. And we went away from Julius after he dominated 3 quarters.

    I expected a loss, but we could have EASILY won this game with simple corrections.

    We should have won this game. Also the refs should have called that foul that kcp drew on Lillard. So many bad calls in this game. Without Ingram, Josh and an inefficient Isaiah and Lonzo we still had a chance to win. That's progress. Now let's win the rest of the games.

    Yeah I expected a loss coming in, but there were so many stretches in the third and fourth where we could’ve pulled away but just failed to execute or made some stupid decisions. I knew it was gonna come back to bite us. It wasn’t even a surprise when Lillard erased our lead in a minute, but super frustrating to watch play out.

    IT was atrocious. It’s like he drives into the paint with one play in mind and when that opportunity closes out because his lack of athleticism gets him trapped, all he can do is throw it up at the rim or fling it back out to the perimeter. It lucks into some assists and free throws, but the offense doesn’t flow well.

    We really needed to run the offense through Randle more in the fourth.

    Not much can be done when Lillard starts raining threes like that. Tough loss!

    Which is why we needed to build the lead when he was out or when we had the Bonus. Growing pains.
