Remember a team is a refelction of it's head coach coach and that is NOT a compliment.

That traveling call just shut the door on us. I get that they call contact sometimes and sometimes they don’t BUT WHY make a completely random call that you make on a whim in a situation like that? It was obviously not a travel. Why make it?

It’s Willie Green. He struggles to keep them motivated. They walk all over the court some games and barely run. They have been lazy all night on defense. Just a complete lack of guarding White for an entire half.

Can't say I didn't give you a heads up. If Coby White played all his career games against the Pelicans...he would be Springfield-bound.

Can't believe we just gave up 124 points to the 28th rated scoring team in the NBA, playing without one of their top players (AGAIN) ...b2b or no b2b!!!

DEFENSE...DEFENSE...DEFENSE!!!!

Call me crazy but, did Willie instruct BI to not attempt a single three in this game?

Lazy defense and this is what you get. Close your lazy asses out on shooters. Stop jogging out there like you are a senior citizen.

I don't know about that, but I'm pretty sure he didn't give him permission to have more turnovers than assists.

8 threes made by us vs 17 by them. MORE THAN DOUBLE OUR OUTPUT. Embarrassing.

Yes someone needs to go. I’m working on fixing the trade machine.

Things will naturally improve in 3PA with CJ and Trey back, but we have to shoot more 3's in general. We were even shooting them pretty well tonight. In today's NBA you have to shoot more of them than we have been.

I would have happily giving three or four of our at-the-rim passes back, tonight for the missed threes that resulted. You always take the 70% sure thing over speculative threes. You have to play to your available players' strengths and not to merely check a box.

I think they need to run more pick plays for guys like Hawkins in these types of games to get them better looks from deep. You can't just abandon the three, especially when playing catchup.

And this team needs to understand it's fine to trust the system, but making the right pass to a bad matchup down low to Cody Zeller or a three pointer to Dyson is very often not the best actual play. Take the shot yourself.

Exactly!! But, then again, many will diss you for playing, so-called, 'ISO-Ball'

We don’t have any winning mentality - We are just lazy against bad Teams. Those games are embarrassing.

2x Utah + Bulls. This team never disapoints....
We could be 14-7 and 3rd in rhe West and yet we are 9 becouse we lose games that you need to try to lose.

Btw if trigga and Hawkins don't have some crazy shot 3pt day against Kings they will probably destroy us.
