Very frustrating to see thibs play the cold hand (rj).

The refs were out of control

You mean the new Elfrid Payton

This team stinks, very few keepers, let’s stop pretending.

Tank and acquire an asset.

The front office has drafted poorly and made mediocre moves let’s be honest

Dont know what the deal with RJ is. The things required to take his game to the next level dont require freakish athleticism, just practice. Only seeing incremental improvement. At a pace that wont do the team any favors.

The best plays I watched Grimes make in the 2nd half were setting up other teammates. Martin may have decreed by royal proclimation that Grimes will never play backup PG. I hope the FO defies him and gives Grimes a shot.

Randle's game probably would have made him an elite player in another era. But not this one. He's still talented and can make some incredible shots. But Randle doesnt really gel with the starters IMO. Not yet anyway. He could exel on another team, that was better coached.

Reading a lot of posts about blowing the team up. Believe thats a bad idea. 2-3 players would be enough to change the trajectory of this squad. Not a complete rebuild.

I’m excited to at least see these guys hit the floor again (sims Obi iq) and see if the momentum increases or decreases whenever Randle sits for a while or after he comes into the game. Yes there are times I’m like man glad Randle is in the game. But then like yesterday I’m like we was up 10 then Randle came in and it’s a tie game where we now need Randle to dig us out of this hole that was created when he came in. Granted there was no saving needed when he came in the game smiling and happy. He even took and made a quick 3 off the bench which might have been what caused the downfall. After that Randle took a heat check 3 multiple times and bricked it. He let his man blow by him just like RJ did in this game. The team went from momentum plays with second unit to depleting plays that kills momentum. There’s a mix of players that work (buried behind the starting unit) and some don’t (they are in the starting unit). Either the FO needs to make some decisions or there will be fingers pointed everywhere including at the coach.

But we had our chances. Brunson, who awesome again, usually hits that lefty floater. Give Portland credit. Jerami Grant and Simons were unstoppable. Hart killed us on the glass too.

Really liked how Randle played. Had some nice defensive stops and hit that timely three to start the OT. Sims once again finished the game and gave us a spark. Second straight game by IQ shooting the ball well. Robinson looks rusty but that was to be expeceted.

I was hoping RJ snapped out of his shooting slump against OKC but he struggled again - 6/22, 1/7 from three . He looks so stiff driving to the basket and has no lift once he is there. It's frustrating to watch! He's easily been the most disappointing player this season. He was supposed to take a step in year 4 and he's ****ting the bed.

The refs were atrocious which was unusual because I felt like we’d had good calls for majority of season

To the average fan and media yes. For me, my comment remains the same.

If we had cam and coach was savy enough to sub cam in at the right time, he’s the only player on the roster that can match grants length and athleticism. We need more players like cam and grant. Long two way multiple position wings. SFs who can guard 2-4
