When shots weren’t falling, bully ball was always an option.

Now when shots aren’t falling we just fold.

Legler even talking about how we’ve lost our toughness.

KAT is a complete turnstile out there—zero toughness.

Bridges isn’t locking down anyone, and I’m still baffled that we went all-in on this squad.

Another embarrassing effort. Why not let Hakaporti get in there and throw his weight around?

No pride

This wasn't a must win game, but felt it was a must not get blown out. Sucks.

It’s been clear since game one of the season that we kinda suck.

At least I get part of my afternoon back.

Bench is putting in more effort than the starters.

These guys are in a different league than we are in every respect: talent, teamwork, intelligence, coaching, toughness. At some point, we just take another @$$ kicking and move on to the next game. At least we know where we stand and it's not good.

We can’t afford to go long stretches where KAT and Bridges don’t contribute anything. 5 first round picks for a role player.

Mentioned in another thread that Hart and Brunson are our worst on/off players this season -- at 1/2 both are -24.

Was Becky right?

Dating back to mid last season (maybe earlier) there was talk about needing a secondary ball handler with some size that could play (ex the D. Murray rumors last year).

A Derrick White guy would fit the bill of course but if you continue to watch our front line -- all 3 players are sloppy while bouncing the ball. Hart at the 2 sounds nice but Celtics continue to sag off him.

Brunson has been horrific - went entire 1st and maybe game without creating a single solid look for Kat.

Kat D is horrible but entire team horrid. Deuce with a donut in 1st half.

Everyone to blame -- including Thibs but how many times Jalen going to get beat downcourt? How many times Kat going to drive into no mans land without a plan? How many times OG going to dribble in circles and end up passing to Hart or Precious who can't shoot?

All season the offense has looked better when Cam "blanking" Payne enters for Brunson.

I'm not saying it's a better offense but it's sure as hell looks better because we attack with pace, we move the ball side to side and Kat gets touches.

No Becky was not right.

Hartenstein was unbelievably important, the front office needed to lock him up midseason, had they offered the same contract it would have gotten done.

DDV injured, but offered more toughness and better spacing because of his catch and shoot ability. That was largely the identity of last years team, out working other squads.

KAT - is just a *****. The fact that he isn’t down on the block punishing Tatum and lingering on the 3point line is a joke. He’s constantly whining and playing for the foul instead of the bucket.
