not gonna lye, Rocky gas to be the best NBA mascott right?

 

[Soar]

The main question is are we unwilling to play defense at a high level or are we unable?

I've tended to think unwilling.

Starting to consider the possibility of unable.

 

[Jscc]

Is Lue telling our guys to get lost on defense on purpose? Our guys are getting lost on hand switch crossovers out there. Liggins and Frye switched on Murray crossing over... Jokic wasn't even close to the play... I don't even know what I'm watching. Fk it, I'll skip the next 12 games.

It means the coaching doesn't know what it's doing or the players no longer hear the coaching voice.

Drop Liggins, pick up Josh Smith.

There definitely is a part this is unable. Frye is now the 3rd big off the bench by necessity. He wasn't last year, and he's absolutely unable to do it. And I don't see how we hide him this year when we have no other bigs to take up minutes in the playoffs.

Lol. 20,000+ posts on this board over 7 years and multiple donations given and I get called a concern troll by a dude who isn't even a fan of the damn team. Welcome back to my ignore list.

I am a fan of the team. I'm 36, a life-long, long-suffering Mariners fan. Last year's Cavs title was easily the best sports moment of my life, because it was the Cavs. I respect you as a poster; ignore me or not at your leisure. The 2007 Finals run made me an NBA fan. I will, legitimately look forward to your posts moving forward. believe it or not, I'm as pissed as you from our piss-poor effort tonight.

Ai Uehara or Megan Salinas.

Awho?

 

[Austin Carr]

can't wait for the game in Charlotte friday, really really can't wait...oh or are they gonna rest again?

 

[Real Deal]

Almost time for Indians, yeah I'm talkin' baseball, I'm talkin' Tribe!!!!!!!!

 

[bboy]

Bring up Sanders...we need some rim protection and I dont care if he hasn't played in 2 years he's still better than Frye down low right now

 

[davedugan43]

This is really starting to get past frustrating and into "Pissing me off" territory. We didn't drop this many in embarrassing fashion the past two years and we have a deeper, more talented team this year.

 

[Austin Carr]

nice just seen there's a back to back game with WAS at the Q saturday, NBA can go fuck itself. how many or who rests in Charlotte?

 

[ACisKING]

This truly would have been a 50 point loss without Kyrie.

@ACisKING do you see what I'm talking about now? This game is a perfect example given that LeBron decided to no show.

Actually I do get what you mean. The roster is pretty much dependent on LeBron creating for them. If he's not they aren't really capable of offering much else.

 

[redscoon]

Good thing I haven't totally come down from the championship high, because this team has somehow managed to completely suck all of the joy and excitement out of watching them play.

When's @BimboColesHair next thread?
