Seriously....its a freaking November regular season game in a tight western conference. The overexaggerations on here......I mean hell even the 2012 Kobe Lakers stole some regular season games against the Westbrook-Durant-Harden Thunder.....if you thought for one second that those wins meant anything, you dont know basketball. Its the same stuff here.....watch what happens come playoff time.
So we can end up the 7th or 8th seed and have to face Denver in round 1?
I was hoping this is the year that we break out the shooting curse. Doesn’t look good. We would’ve been 3-0 if we shoot decent from the 3
LOL Mad - I literally called outcome of shots in OT relying on the same sort of assumption. I need to go to Vegas and bet. _________________ "One thing I admire about Kuzma is his unwavering confidence. He truly has no idea that he’s not as good as he thinks." - Killer_Z
Need Gabe to not be in late in games unless he happens to be on fire from three. He doesn't really offer much to the team outside of his three point shooting WHEN he's having a game he's rolling. That's who he was last year with Miami too.
Gabe hadn't earned being out there in the closing moments, both Rui and Wood had better games than him and either should have been in over him, especially when we were in desperate need of key rebounds.
I am sure he wouldn’t if AR didn’t have the worst game of his life
Gabe was having a worse one.
Not sure that’s true, but I wouldn’t played either today down the stretch. Would’ve went big with wood or Rui and slide prince to the 2
We win if we just go to AD when Barnes and Fox are defending him because Sabonis fouls out. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

Nah when reaves was pulled he lost Murray 4 straight possessions in the fourth. They literally ran 4 straight actions and lost him every action and that got him pulled and the lakers down after taking the lead.
He got pulled tonight and should have been pulled in phoenix too as the suns were going after him. These are those oh so you’re a full time starter now feeling pains.

Nah this gotta be a joke.
Orlando is 2-0 right now and they got shooters.
Banchero is a stud.
They play us tough all the time.
We should win at home but I’m doubting it will be easy
Hell, I have us losing tomorrow night.
You had us losing the playin game against Minnesota last season as well how’d that work out for ya brah???? 💀💀💀
A sweep against Denver. We would’ve been better off losing.
What a loser response 🙃🙃🙃

I want this team to compete for Championships. Not to get blasted by the competition. We have a lot of money invested in Rui,Reaves and Vincent and they have gone Mia. No defense whatsoever.
Championships aren’t determined game 3 of the regular season.
Sure I’m just as angry as you for tonight’s loss but show some type of basketball IQ.
I don’t want you to get quiet all of sudden once the players you’ve mentioned catches on fire.

Yeah there was no reason for that at all. Prince was hot and Rui was hot. And you couldn’t get rebound once AD had to come out and contest the guards. They could have easily went Prince and Rui on the win, and let Bron be the rebounder because our guards couldn’t get it done

Tomorrow’s a new day.
All I can go by is what I’m seeing now and right now they are stealing money.
Another thing I can point to is that Wood deserved to start the fourth next to Bron but he went with Hayes and benched Wood the rest of the game despite him playing well the night before and in the third with AD. That’s a confidence kill
I think we should consider bringing Bron off of the bench and we need better coaching.
Bron is about to be 39 and even the warriors moved cp3 to the bench for them and it paid off. Doesn’t mean he won’t finish the game on the court, but he is clearly exhausted. It was times tonight where he wasn’t even trying out there. His body language said it all. Hell he walked off the court with 15 seconds left on the clock.

Your way of thinking of how a team is fundamentally examined solely on game by game performances leads to overexaggerations whether too high or too low. I mean havent you watched enough basketball by now to know what is real and what isnt in a long season without making a big deal of every single game????
The f happened to AR? If he had a normal game, we would have won this game. Last year when we were rolling, he was a big and consistent contributor. AR's lack of contribution was the difference tonight. _________________ Offense gets the glory but DEFENSE (and rebounding) wins championships!!

He may have maxed out.
Again, game 3. Played all summer. Might be a little tired.
