    I mean, what did we expect? We played like this all year, it wasn't like Ime was going to miraculously change his coaching philosophy. So pathetic...

    KD just checked out in the 2nd half. Just stood around waiting to be double-teamed.

    Surely Ime will show up on the offensive end sooner. He has a superstar now!

    Playoff Bronny went crazy tonight. The kid scored as many points as our #3 overall pick.

    I like Amen Thompson (as a lead defender and a small ball 4) - not miscast as a lead guard having to play with mostly **** defenders and run the offense with bad fits like Sengun.

    I like Capela.

    Adams seems pretty fun to be around.

    That's it though

    The only thing you can take away is that we haven't lost at home yet. Ime should be sacked if we lose 4-1 or 4-0, though.

    They didn't miss from three

    I'm okay with no Jabari. I would keep Steven Adams though. He's a team player. Fertitta needs to sell the team to someone who will make better decisions.

    Ime didn’t change a single thing since LA beat us twice in that back-to-back. Not one damn thing.

    Giannis won't play for us dude

    Anybody pushing for that just needs to give up

    It would just be his current situation all over again, if not worse.
