Randle out of the season now going in for surgery.

Getting blown away by the Kings today.

Very sad. Hope it doesn’t lead to the bottom falling out for your boys

Well it was out to 20 points now back to 6 so wait and see.

We can still compete with most of the east just realistically no chance against Boston without Randle in the mix.

 

[LB#16]

Noone chucks up shots and gives up leads like Miami does. It's an artform.

 

[Nicho50]

Down by 21 win by 11 this Knicks team. Such a shame about Randle.

Feels like a low blow from the injury bug would’ve loved to see a fully healthy knicks team this playoffs.

Does Harden know it’s still a few weeks out from the playoffs? Dude is a f****** chucker. Not worried in the slightest if we run into LAC

Pels have you both covered, easily.

NBA refs are true professionals who never let personal bias or feelings get in the way of their jobs, and enforce rules equally.

Garbage officiating. Pretty clear foul on the 3!

Straight down the other for a soft foul.

7 point turnaround. Cheats

100% a foul - but he kicked out towards the defender and the ump probably saw that and decided making no call is easier than making the correct call.

 

[fidstar]

Pretty weird to post a 50/50 foul call and say "Garbage officiating". I'm sure there's plenty worse.

Bucks lol, the gift that keeps on giving.

[Nicho50]

Weird day
Magic , Bucks , Knicks and Pels losing games they all should be winning.

 

[Son of Skeletor]

We are a dumb, dumb team.

Another home loss. Another double digit lead thrown away. We never learn.

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Suns holding the Wolves to 87 points. Intriguing stuff.

 

[peternorth]

We are a dumb, dumb team.

Another home loss. Another double digit lead thrown away. We never learn.

Not only that, but to a team featuring a starting frontline of no less than 34 letters in their cumulative surnames.

Any reporter that try’s to defend doc still is just reaching, either they’re friends with him or been with him for the 08 title man is straight up trash rn.

Bucks want to go for the chip and passed on nurse with that experience for griffin who lasted half a season and now doc who can’t seem to figure out how to beat lesser teams.

I feel for the pels that it’s more growing pains than anything.

Bucks on the other hand…

Tbh mate, the 'youth' excuse for us has a shelf-life that has expired.

We have vets on our team. And that's not including Ingram, who's in his 8th season, and Zion who is his 5th, even though they didn't play today. In total this team has pretty much had a full three seasons of playing together, together with the coaching group.

We're as deep as any team in the league. We've got bucket getters. We've got defenders. But we don't lose on talent, we lose on mentality and poor execution. That's mostly a coaching thing.

It's mind boggling that the coaching staff can see us resort to slow iso-ball in the clutch minutes game-after-game, season-after-season and not do anything about it. If it was Pop or Phil Jackson or someone on the sidelines, do you think they'd let that mistake be made over and over again? Not on your life, they'd call a timeout, bench the offending parties. We don't do that.

We were in 4th spot in the conference last week with a six game home-stand to come. We proceeded to drop five of those six games. Granted they weren't easy games for the most part, but when you have an opportunity to do something, you don't lose a slew of home games at the business end of the season. The Suns, Lakers, Dubs, Clips and Mavs have all played hard, and played well in the last week. That's what playoff teams do. We, on the other hand, went to water.

The reality is that you only get so many bites at the apple, doubly so if you're a small market team with less margin for error. Our team's going to become more and more expensive as our younger guys anticipate bigger paydays. We'll be lucky to have a roster this deep or talented again for a long time. And still we continue to make the same mistakes, it's just infuriating.

it is a fair and just assessment.

Question, is the coach the right person for the job/
