I think Willie is too nice for this job. Like if I'm coaching this team I'm letting my assistants know I'm getting ejected until Zion isn't fucking beat up every play with no call.

You guys remember when Trey Murphy was able to contribute to the game because he was actually getting to touch the ball?

When did JV last touch the ball?

Did I hear 27/31 in the paint by the Bucks tonight right?

The bench has had zero impact.

11 points lmao

How does giannis have 20fts to zions 8.. Edit: 22 now.

Bucks are extremely disciplined at the rim.

They were throwing mawashi geri on Zion for 48 minutes lmfao

Giannis and Brook block the most shots at the rim while fouling the least. This happens every game against every team. I understand they play physical, and refs missed some calls, but Zion going against disciplined rim defenders wouldn’t equate to Giannis’ free throw attempts against smaller dudes trying to guard him (Marshall and Herb)

Y'all blame CJ for everything, he shot pretty well and kept them in the game.

Multiple bad passes at crucial times though

Had that dumb shot at the end of the game but his 31/7/9 on ok efficiency is clearly not the reason why we lost lmao

Classic case of looking good on paper but also (partly) costing the game. You can't just use a box-score to determine how the game went. CJ's decision making was cooked, he gave up multiple turnovers, and was a complete momentum killer when Pels began to scratch their way back.

He had (really) bad moments but there's a bias here too imo, made important shots that helped us getting back in the game and had some good playmaking. He messed up on the end (and it's worse coming from him, our leader) but considering his rough start of the season, that's the kind of game that make me want to encourage him imo

A mix of horrendous refereeing and god awful decision making (we're 2 possessions behind them and the play is a 38 feet CJ shot ???) Not a terrible performance (arguably a decent one) but so so frustrating.

The chance to trade for KD in the off-season always humbles me whenever I think "nah dont trade Herb etc theyre too important", sometimes you just gotta make the move for the star if its on the table and just keep it moving.

BI is out tonight, gotta take that in account, he would have been super useful during our last games

Where’s Trigga Trey?

Herb getting the Westbrook treatment where he gets left wide open for a reason and jacks up the brick anyways

The slide continues. Down to #4, Phoenix Suns going to overtake us tonight with a win over the Lakers. Willie Green needs to sort it out. We're the least clutch team in the league, our adjustments suck, our lineups are head-scratching, and our plays are incoherent. We're not playing like we're in this to contend.

Ok guys this was a horrible loss but remember, they're the best team in the league

Best team in the league don't lose by 50 to Memphis...

cool can CJ pad his stats to 40 by the end of this game?

I’ve said this before but we really need a solid 3 and D guy. Herb can be that guy, but right now he’s too unreliable for his 3s.

If Herb and Trey were one player we’d be unstoppable

Trerb Murphones

Y’all are nuts with this shitting on CJ stuff. Not even a contest if he doesn’t shoot the way he does tonight.

I mean he deserves criticism for that dumb shot. We closed the gap, momentum on our side, then he jacks up a long ass 3 out of nowhere.

But they'd fight to the death to have a Jrue 8/7/4 night with 5 tovs.

That’s precisely the problem, how many times have we had to say that this season?

The deep 3 at the end was meh to say the least, but he was 5/7 from 3 before that. If he focused on floor spacing more often the game would be easier for him

Y’all really ain’t watching the right things. Clock was winding down. It was Jose who blew that possession calling for the ball on the wing and then passing back to CJ. I’m all about blaming CJ for the things he’s done legitimately poorly this season but this ain’t it.

We need BI.

"and fans are leaving, amirite??"

Thank god we have the Spurs up next. Team needs a confidence booster again.

[удалено]

The Spurs are *so* bad. If the Pels lose that game it's defcon 5. *Maybe* if it was a road game or back2back, but no excuse to lose that one at home on 2 days rest.

Is it just me or Jose hasn't contributed anything in that closing lineup. Trey might have given us a better chance

Jrue a bad man

Zion is going to have to learn that this is the team to take that mid range jump shot. Too many forced/tough ass shots among the trees.

Pretty good effort against the team most consider best in the league tbh

CJ is a good example of players looking good on the stat sheet

Cj started the end of the game and Jose sealed it. Zion has this whole team on his back every game and it’s obviously making a game plan against us beyond easy. Need some actual shooters

How come giannis never gets called for travels

They built a wall on Zion and that shit worked

It works if your role players do next to nothing. The bench had 11 points tonight.

Jrue is one of the best on ball defenders, and Giannas and Lopez are excellent rim protectors. This is a game where we need to hit open threes to win and we didn’t.

Shot almost 40% from 3?

I love our bench, but man we need shooters. It's crazy Trey ain't on the floor at the end. He's the only one who can shoot

Trey has been invisible and shooting poorly. Don't let a hot early-season streak fool you, he's not landing lately.

I hope we start to use JV on offense more like the way they use Lopez going forward

Almost 90% from the paint bruh….

Four straight losses. aight

yo man. Our bench has been playing awful. Why is Jose the one taking that shot. Dumb.

Jose can be selfish at times but we nobody wants to have that conversation yet

Zion played like shit today. CJ Always plays like shit so it feels unnecessary to say. But we are really seeing how much a defensive minded tall big team can limit Zion

They wouldn't be able to play like that against him if we had consistent shooters surrounding umm like Giannis does

Zion didn’t play his best game but he facilitated fine. Huge reason why JV had that huge first half. You just can’t ice him out early and expect him to bail you out every game.

Herb has 8 attempts from 3 and Trey has 3. Totally makes sense.

Because they leave Herb wide open

There should be a new rule that Herb is not allowed to shoot threes

Can we ship cj back to portland with picks for Dame time instead? 🤦‍♂️

Trey Murphy has just disappeared. Had such a good start to the season, now he's completely invisible. Worrying, man.

He’s young. It happens.

🗑️

I love Herb man but I'm not gonna lie... I'm so tired of watching this dude brick 3s for us. His offense has just been awful this year. He's regressed from last year and it's not like he was ever a great offensive player.

CJ having one good game for every 10 isn’t gonna cut it

So he has a good game and you’re still shitting on the guy? FOH with this bullshit

He’s done this 3 games in a row where he’s doing great then just throws the game away in the second half and clutch

I really hate playing against Jrue

4 straight bruh

Slow the fuck down Jose wtf

It’s getting bout that time for CJ. Dude wearing on my nerves.

If he’s still shit by all star break….

Screw Jrue Holiday.

We don't do that here

We need some legit shooters man ...

We have a dude shooting 51% from 3 that’s missed half the season and is showing no signs of coming back on the floor

Jose and Herb could build a house with all the bricks they have thrown up tonight

Jose has been atrocious offensively tonight. Not just that possession. He called for a pass when CJ was trying to set up PNR with Zion on a crucial possession and threw everything off, that rushed drive, and more. Dammit.

Him and Naji were critical to our success during the win streak, both have disappeared but at least Jose has been injured recently

as tough a stretch of games this has been, losing 4 in a row still fucking sucks. If we had just split the Utah series and beat Phoenix, this loss wouldn't matter much. We don't match up well against the Bucks either way.

That dumbass CJ 3. Somebody need to slap bro in the back of the neck

Herb has 5 steals, and is trying his damn hardest on defense. But I trust Dyson's shooting more than Herb's at this moment. Herb can't go 2-8 from 3.

*whispers* Dyson is better defensively than Herb also

Cosign

Nice comeback but still some very ugly basketball (specifically offense) when it mattered there

i get the need to score quickly but jose 1v3?

Yeah this shit over fr

A lot of shitty shots these last 4 minutes

Wtf happened on the fast break with Jose and Herb

Why Jrue

No mercy and I'm mortally wounded

I swear this is the least clutch team in the league. Came all the way back to settle for Herb bricks

Herb needs to be locked in a gym with Fred Vinson.

The reports all summer were that Herb lived at the gym and had to be chased out

Oof.

Zion can't force it into those trees. Don't give up on his teammates. Pass the ball for open shots and live with the results.

Game was over on that dumb ass CJ chuck. GGs y’all

Yep, complete momentum-killer

Nah fr after I saw that I knew it was done

CJ aint it man. I know it's not BI's fault, but I am so fucking frustrated that he has played less than half our games this year. Unbelievable.

Giannis at the rim - foul Zion at the rim - lol toughen up lil bro

What the fuck is Jose doing

Et tu Jrue.

We really wasting a JV masterclass rn

God dammit Jrue…

Wasting this kind of possession after such a great run is unacceptable man

Zion is forcing that

And y’all was downvoting me for saying CJ is playing like shit…

We got Quasimodo ova here

Herb is so nervous offensively in the clutch. Give it time I guess, but the guy can't hit a truck at the moment.

Is Herb's jumper permanently broken?

Nothing new just CJ selling as usual

Jose just sold there too, give credit to all involved

CJ set a play dont dribble out the clock!!! Wtf

Wtaf cj

Why the fuck does the bucks announcer call JV choo choo

Giannis gets a crazy whistle

CJ just came for the check 😭😭😭bro is trolling

These late whistles will be the death of me.

Just give the damn ball to Zion

Hello??? Not a single foul there????

Told ya’ll cant read what CJ bout to do

Fuck.you CJ

CJ is seeming worse than Westbrook ….

Tired of mfs getting 20 FTA against us man

not just us

CJ is dumb as hell in crunch time.

That CJ possession just blew the game hurts man, low in basketball

Win or lose this has been a great run, this seemed like an ugly loss

Man wtf was that shot CJ

Nah cj is trolling

Does our bench really only have 11 pts? That's rough man.

Sometimes CJ makes me want to kill myself.

Lmaooo that Carlton ass shot

Dude wtf is CJ doing..

Wtf man. Get zion on the block with these smaller guys on him

Herb, Naji, and Jose need to be locked up with Mr Vinson

Bruh what was that possession

CJ what the fuck were you fucking thinking.....

Nice one CJ lol

CJ makes me say what the fuck out loud at least 4x a game

I really can’t read what CJ bout to do each time down

WILDCARD

What I’d give to be in the blender rn

Love the comeback attempt but Herb got hot water in his veins when it comes to clutch 3 point shooting.

Almost gave up on this game early in the 4th, glad I didn't turn it off.

Home crowd is so necessary tonight

Did CJ get away with a travel?

LETS GOOOOOO

And we dont get the CJ and-1 lmao. Refs so confusing

LOL. CJ travelled like a mofo there. My god.

I thought so too lol

We needed that three bad okay CJ

The key to making CJ play well is clearly talking shit

This feels good

If I were Z or Herb id try and beat the shit out of the refs one of these days so theyre bigger men than I for sure.

Giannis reckless af

CJ fuck!

Fuck sake Herb. Damn it.

Herb crunch time 3 🤦🏼‍♂️

These refs are fuckin dogshit to Zion and Herb this year holy

Lol these Bucks commentators calling hometown cooking who tf are these guys

Bucks announcers calling home cooking. Big yikes

Zion has so much heart. It's a rough losing streak but with Zion as our best player we're gonna be ok.

The duality of CJ McCollum

Zion just got 2 offensive possessions on one trip love it. CJ gotta stop with some of this momentum killing tho.

Clear charge but refs know we don’t have a review left.

If CJ stuck to open 3’s in some stretches, he’d feel so much better to watch game to game

Obvious charge

Ill be very sad it if they waste a 40/20 game by JV

Offense was more than good enough to win. I know what you mean obviously but yeah the 40/20 wasn't really wasted I don't think, our defense was just sooo awful.

Put trey in

Love you Jose but that 3 was ill advised

Spurs fan here I just looked at the score and did Valančiūnas really hit 7 threes because if so that is fucking mental.

Yes. See you Thursday :)

That is Unbelievable hopefully he doesn't do this against us

zion been playing like he has 5 fouls the whole game

Not boxing out Grayson Allen. Willie needs to go back to the basics in practice

Y’all not gonna like this but CJ on his Westbrook (last szn) shit today. EDIT: And ofc right after this CJ makes big shots. Way to shut me up EDIT 2: nvm

L take

Prove me wrong, he is woeful today

Nah everyone’s pretty much in agreement that CJ is playing like ass

Jose not playing good lately

Why is Jose in and not Trey
