    How is Sengun getting obliterated by Ayton is fricking baffling me.

    I just can't deal with Jefferson trying to justify how that was a foul on Jabari and not LeBron changing his line and jumping directly into Jabari.

    LMFAO this league is such a joke with the gagging of LeBron.

    Racking up the fouls and getting the other team into the bonus only halfway through the quarter...something we do repeatedly and don't seem to try and avoid......the basketball IQ of this is off the charts bad

    We have absolutely no chance to win this game. This is so ****ing gross. Not only playing terrible basketball but the refs just ****ing us constantly.

    Quick, now tell us how many one on one plays Ayton has 'obliterated' Sengun.

    Vs how many Sengun is covering another player because they're beaten and Ayton scores because of it.

    Narrator: they refused to tell us, because they didn't want to further embarrass themselves.

    I badly wish we had a seasoned guy in our rotation, not a 30+ year old geriatric. Like a useful 27 year old

    Refs giving the game to LAL. Sickening.

    I predict that the gap between the next few games would allow Luka and Reaves to be back and by that time we are dead in the water
