    Big shot by Dame.

    40 point quarter is brutal.

    He is the worst player i ever seen. Makes kwame brown look like jordan. The question is how does he keeps staying employed in the nba? How can someone be so trash?

    This will be an unpopular take with some:

    Our defense was no worse in the 3rd quarter than in the first half. The Lakers made a ton of shots that they normally don't make.

    It's maddening to me that our best lineup in the seeding games has barely played together in this series. Trying to match the Lakers is not going to work because we just don't have as much talent.

    They’re playing hard but just don’t have a bench they can trust. Most of the other teams in the playoffs can throw bench guys in for spot minutes and have it not be a disaster.

    We’re down by 25 if not for Melo hitting all those crazy shots.

    I was gonna say, But unfortunately we don't have anyone else. But we do have Gabriel and I can't see how Adams could do worse than Simons.

    The halfcourt defense was fine for the most part but:

    1.) they allowed a few easy scores with Ant guarding the perimeter.

    2.) poor decision making led to some fast break points.

    The fact that we couldn't score exacerbated the problem.

    Mario Hejonza is the worst player I've ever seen in the NBA.

    He is just not able to focus; I guess I feel sorry for the big guy.

    The fact that Trent didn't take a shot in the quarter is not good. Need to get him some open shots to open up the floor for others. Instead Ant is 0-4.

    Are there mods in here to, you know, moderate this guy? He clearly is trolling.

    It was a bummer seeing us get Nurk a post-up on Pope and he didn't even try to take advantage of it.
