    Outscored by 19 in the 3rd with almost 3 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter. Can't blame this on the bench. This is their starters kicking ours butts and a 35 year old coach who is out-adjusted Stotts at halftime.

    "We didn't make shots." ~Stotts

    The 'gameplan' is for Dame to go nuclear.

    Do we look like a well coached team right now? Honest question.

    Even if we win this it shows how sucky we are still. This team just needs a new direction

    Credit Whiteside for jumping out to contest the shot. Problem is, no help dropped down and the Grizz get the easy dunk.

    We do need to improve in the offseason but your constant whining is soooo old.

    It's crazy how Stotts never has an answer for teams blitzing the pick n roll. They literally went on like a 32-13 run because they starting blitzing and turned it into fastbreak opportunities the other way.

    "We play our garbage players too many minutes"
    Me.

    Carmelo Anthony - 25 min
    Mario Hezonja - 20 min
    Gary Trent Jr. - 15 min

    F*ck the damn hierarchy and play your good players.

    A true elite backcourt like Steph and Klay would have never lose a game like this.

    Still in the game. But that 3rd quarter...

    We need now full focus, and some appropriate game plan.
