    Can’t beat the Thunder
    Can’t beat the Spurs
    Can’t beat the Lakers, lose tiebreakers
    Can’t beat the Nuggets, lose tiebreakers
    Can’t beat the Wolves without Ant
    Can’t beat their father, the Warriors

    Can you confidently say they’d beat the Blazers or Clippers?
    Maybe they can beat Dickerson’s former team.

    Missing the playoffs wouldn’t be the worst thing.

    It's like everything has to go right for this team to win games.

    If one player plays poorly, well....the team is F'd.

    KD and Reed shooting poorly is obviously a big factor in losing this one, but we just never have a bench player having a good night. It just doesn't happen this year, especially with Reed starting games.

    This team might have the worst bench in the NBA, seriously.

    We're perfect from the stripe tonight. So that's pretty cool. I guess

    This would be the game they shoot their best free throw % in years. Minnesota has played good defense, but man, this team misses a lot of wide open looks.

    Yeah, it was a really bad time to go in that slump. Not ready to give up on him like a lot of people on this board, I think he could be huge for us moving forward. We'll see.

    The problem is the GM. I've had it with Stone.

    We just need to go to Sengun every freaking time down the court.

    That should have been Rudy's 6th. These refs are assholes

    Losing to the Suns would be a poetic and tragic all at the same time

    Remember how well played the Miami game was?
    This is the opposite of that.

    I've never seen a bigger pass given to a person than Durant has tonight. Dude has been absolutely terrible, I'm talking about the announcers that is.

    Didn't seem a problem last year. Must be a combination of 1) no Brooks and 2) KD the cancer.

    It's amazing how poorly they can play and still be in the game. It this team were just 10% less stupid . . .
