Jrue gonna miss 2 out of the 3
Jrue gonna miss 2 out of the 3
Jrue and his free throws.... Hahahahaha
This game was lost when we refused to slow the game down. We have to beat Dallas now.
Why didn't we just employ a zone defense too? 72 points in the paint?? The coaching for the Pels is not pathetic; it's non-existent.
Embarrassing...
It’s like they have not been taught pick-and-roll defense all year.
I don't want to hear playoffs.
I seriously don't want to hear it. They don't ******* deserve it after losing to these idiots at home.
I honestly don't see the team getting much better under this coaching staff It is what it is.
Becky Hammon, COME ON DOWN!
What a TERRIBLE disapointment ...I think I will vomit...
Gentry has got to go.
WTF didn't they go to zone when they were picking and rolling? Give then a different look.
Now THAT was pathetic.
After the Lakers game, instead of Gentry coming out firing in the post game, tearing the team a new hole for their pathetic execution in the fourth quarter, he comes out, “oh golly gee, what are your going to do, number 23 is just so gosh darn good, I’m happy though, we competed we’ll get em next time, blah blah blah”.
So of course the team comes out in this game like everything is just fine, no problem we’ll just roll out and out of bed and out score them, absolutely no sense of urgency. Gentry has a loser mentality and it carries over to the team.
It may be time to start pulling for the ping pong balls. We lucked into AD and Zion by getting the first overall pick against the odds. Lucky for third time?

Pick and Roll is the most basic thing in the NBA.
Yet we have no idea how to defend it.
THEY TEACH HOW TO DEFEND THIS IN 6 YEAR OLD YMCA BBALL.
Shout out to our bench for going 9/30 combined for 30% shooting on the night. Absolutely stellar performances from those guys. Big shout out to Frank and Moore for going a combined 2/11, very cool.
If you have a game where 4 of your starters put up at least 24 points, and none of your starters shoots below 50%, you should win.
If your defense is bad enough to negate that level of offensive production, and your bench can't add anything to it, you have a problem.
No more playoffs talk round here man.
Somebody send this video and a Coaching For Dummies book to our coach:
Griffin has some serious evaluations to conduct in the offseason. This team is far from a finished product.
Griffin got really conservative when we needed to make moves to save this season. All that playoff hype was a con job to sell tickets. If this team was remotely serious in a playoff run. We would of got somebody.
Griffin quiet hiding in his office. I hope he enjoy the whole summer feeding his ego with all those interview. Dude looks like a clown.
This team is being led by a false prophet.
Perhaps Naz Reid is the steal of the 2019 Draft....certainly the best center at this point.
Bottom line.. Ingram had a good game.. along with the other starters. Stop trying to peg him as a scapegoat. No single individual is responsible for this loss.
Collectively the D needs to improve for this team.
Flip Saunders son is a better coach than Gentry.
This is what I feel. $25+ million gets you that? Give me 10+ points in the 4th and I'm cool. He's the best player on the team (Zion might be but I can't give it to him for 15ish games).
Maybe he will get better next year. He's doing fine from a pay-per-play right now.
