Can't talk bad about Cousins around these parts.

Great game ... team played hard . Just poor execution down the stretch .

This is such a joke lmao I can't wait to see them in the play offs and lose bc they aren't getting the calls they would in the regular season

Team is tired. Players make bad decisions when tired.

Don't exist

Don't worry guys, when the NBA releases the official review of this game they will make sure and say they missed the Harden travel.

After the game is over and it doesn't matter.

Happens every time.

I think Pels win this one with Asik playing the 4th over Boogie

Why doesn't the nba just give the league to their golden children so us idiot fans can move on

gentry has to stand up for his team and call the refs out....

The team just doesn’t play well in crunch time. Cousins can’t get frustrated and get taken out of the game. He’s a offensive player who doesn’t finish games well .

AD the glass man always hurt. Dude can't stay healthy does us no good. When has he ever been healthy enough for us to be a threat?

Soooo.. how long is AD gonna be out for. Heard he re-aggravated the groin

lol you just cant be....

If we played like this every night then we wouldn’t be a .500 team .

just flat ran out of gas. Will happen when you suddenly have only 5 playable bodies playing at that pace.

Not trying to call you out but you have any sources for that?

The refs were bad, but we lost this game in large part due to the turnovers (Rondo was great but had 8 turnovers) and Cousins's inability to play defense (dreadful PnR defense like always let Capela to have his best game of his life)

Its depressing watching the way Cousins is officiated. Must be demoralising for him knowing he will get hacked all game and not get calls.

Pretty sure I heard Joel say it on the telecast

They were talking about him possibly coming back too early, which I though was the general consensus

That’s a pretty good effort considering this was a game without Hill and Davis, a back to back and 4 of our starters played 40 minutes plus tonight.
I’m not worried about the Rockets.
Their game doesn’t translate in the play offs.

Great effort by our guy’s.

Exactly. We had it until near the end, but having to play three guys for 41+ minutes, and another for 39, is a quick recipe for getting gassed out. Unfortunately that's what you have to do when you have Nelson, AD, TA, and Cunningham out.

123pts

Starters: 120
Bench: 3

this was about as close to iron man basketball as you are ever likely to see

capela points was the difference maker.....it was a good game on a back to back....hope they carry this energy into the next game...

And I loved it. I don't even let the fact that it was a loss phase me.

Miller is still better as part of the bench unit IMO

I must say I am very much enjoying the 3Twaun coming out party this season

His contract looks like a steal now

What's more frustrating than tonight's collapse is the fact that we play hard against elite teams but lose at home to the Kings

Just hover around .500 until January. Then hopefully that dim turnover machine light with come on.

Decided not to watch the game tonight. From what I can see on Twitter, we were doing things that worked and then just decided to STOP doing them. *sigh* On to the next one.

Yeah that really was unforgivable and will leave a bad taste for a while

That's mainly because a good number of our bench players had to start this game.

Was a strange game to choose to quote bench points

And If we had a full roster, 3Twaun da gawd wouldn't even be starting!

Let that sink in

I'm not sure what that means, but there truly is a major shift in the schedule right about Christmas. Schedule has not been brutal so far, but it's been full of tough competitive games., But starting on the 27th this is what happens:

12/27 BKN
12/29 DAL
12/30 NYK
1/3 @UTH
1/6 @MIN
1/8 DET
1/10 @MEM
1/12 POR
1/14 @NYK
1/16 @BOS
1/17 @ATL
1/20 MEM
1/22 CHI
1/24 @CHA
1/26 HOU
1/28 LAC
1/30 SAC


there's some tough games in there, but all of a sudden you finally get a decent number of weak teams sprinkled in. Be a good time to make a little move up the standings if you can just have enough healthy bodies.

It was really close, hard to lose game like this.

Odd thing is, I think this actually helps the Pels. Not the losing particularly -- obviously would have helped far more to win. But this was basically the most excusable loss of the season for them, with the only competition being the back to back loss in Golden State that had idiots around here losing their mind. Basically nobody reasonably expected the Pels to even make a game of it, and they did a lot more than that while being about as shorthanded as any NBA team is ever going to get. In the lockerroom I would think this would only strengthen the feeling that they can play with anyone.

17 games there, and only two (BOS, HOU) that you go into as a huge underdog. Every other game there is a potential win.

Exacto! Great game, they competed all the way through. AD and Dante in to help prevent Capela's catch-n-dunks, then this could have very well been a win.

I know a 20 point lead v Warriors isn't much, but it was disappointing how badly we capitulated

That Kings game doe :idoh:

P.S. E'Twaun Moore = SuperStar

He is balling out of his brain

Has to make you wonder how much better Hill would have been too this year :(

Quick question: AD, Cunningham, Allen and Ajinca are all out of your front line and Diallo STILL can't get a second of playing time? I think of him a lot like our Clint Capella. Why not give him a shot at shutting down that friggin pick-and-roll play that was killing us? What is up with that? It's like he's back at Kansas....

It's like the nba should know by now Houston with harden get certain calls the rest of the nba doesn't get bc ya know eff it why not
