there's no laughing in a 1st round loss....this 1st Q is at least worth a couple of chuckles

 

We're shooting 20% from the field and 11% from 3....yuck

 

We're going to win the 2nd quarter!

 

all starters on the floor to begin the 2nd

 

This starting lineup just doesn’t work. There was a reason Chauncey went away from it earlier in the season. Teams don’t respect Toumani and Scoot’s jumpers yet. We’re playing 3-on-5 on offense and get off to SLOW starts. It’s unfortunate that Shaedon got hurt because Chauncey was about to insert him into the starting lineup.

 

Law of averages were bound to catch up with him.

 

Interesting... I never once felt making the playoffs and losing in first round was humiliating. At least not when we were rolling out average NBA rosters.

 

gobert hammers scoot on the drive. no foul. tough finish

 

I feel like the team is really hurt by not having a really good spot-up three point shooter. The offense actually creates quite a few open threes.

 

gobert camped in the key for like 8 seconds on that possession

 

What a flop. Where’s the T?

 

We’re gonna win this

 

We've got them scared now!

 

I hear you... switching out 7th and 8th man type players to be our starting forwards was frustrating.

 

I wonder if the offense is creating the 3pt shots or if the defenses are content giving up open 3's to Camara, Thybulle, Scoot, Ayton, Walker, etc.

 

man get this banton character out.
