[Fairly-Hard]

Oh boy is the replay guy gonna catch hell for this game.

They actually played quite well while Dame was on the bench in the 2nd quarter and closed the gap down to 6 points.

Nobody had to try to find Dame to give him the ball to walk it up. That was part of it.

 

[AldoTrapani]

This is hard to watch.

Who cares at this point. Let’s just pile on the losses and get that lottery pick

Billups will totally ignore that. I am sure.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Jarace Walker or Brandon Miller, assuming we pick top 6

Nice, I’ll check them out

It's possible I think to get the 5th slot in the lottery.

 

[Cugel]

Killed on the boards as per usual. Go to the ball please.

 

[Irish Trader]

Our starting guards 21 points their starting guards 31 points. Dame responsible for many of the 23 that Murray had.

Yeah that was sad and frustrating. Grab the frickin' ball with both hands, then don't throw a crappy pass .

It also put a lot of size on the court. Sharpe was the shortest defender out there. 'Surprisingly', they started getting their hands on passes and forcing more loose balls. It's been my biggest pet peeve for 8+ years re the small backcourt.

This team is made up to far too many role players right now.

Dame should just go after Kobe Bryant 81.

 

[LayneStaley]

Grant is not even a 3rd on a contender.

 

[blazerfan11]

And if the Magic win and Blazers lose, the Magic will only be 2 games behind the Blazers in the win column. The Blazers play the Magic next.

 

[blazerfan11]

Grant is not even a 3rd on a contender.

I like him in the open court though.

 

[LayneStaley]

Need the Knicks to cool down a bit too, would like to get that pick in the teens not the twenties.

 

[LayneStaley]

Chauncey sucks, fight for ur players.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Chauncey sucks, fight for ur players.

He doesn’t do that much.

 

[LayneStaley]

From the looks of it we have a very real possibility at that 5th spot in the lottery.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

4th TO for Watford I think and not a good learning curve, Keeps dribbling into traffic.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Ok, so I’m really watching this game. There is absolutely zero ball or player movement.
Fun, but dangerous game….Take a shot every time Calabro says one on one, or iso, or anything that has to do with no passing

Auto switching on defense is insane. You have an elite, in every sense of the word, defender

 

[B-Roy]

I’m all in on wemby

 

[riverman]

Stick a fork in this game

 

[Mediocre Man]

Dribble, dribble, dribble…..turnover

mix in a fucking pass

 

[illmatic99]

I’m all in on wemby

think i just crossed that threshold myself.

this sorry ass team finally broke my will.

 

[wizenheimer]

I guess maybe you guys who saw some meaning in the tiny run Portland made with Dame on the bench in the 1st half, won't see the same meaning in the 17-5 run Atlanta had with Dame on the bench at the end of the 3rd

 

[julius]

This is a team that either doesn't care much anymore, or they're waiting for the off season.

 

[BigGameDamian]

From the looks of it we have a very real possibility at that 5th spot in the lottery.

 

[riverman]

Watford has 5 turnovers...I wish he had that many buckets
