[Jingled]

We've now lost 5 of our last 7 games. Is the magic over?

Some of the disorganization is Mike not playing but man Lauri really should have been able to eat… get Bogey or Bagley on him and it should be BBQ chicken.

Poor effort tonight on the defensive part. This is what's happen wwhen you do not respect enough the opponent. Refs did not help too but we deserve this loss. Hope we learn and play better next game.

It was so inconsistent. Hardy needs to get a tech… he should have challenged the KO block out of spite. They don’t reverse it and we send a side by side with the THT one to the league.

KO got charged over like a rag doll. Lauri got elbowed in the face. Really infuriating.

Yes the turnovers and bad shot selection down the stretch also killed them too.

IDK.. the west is such a cluster I’m not sure we could slide far enough to lose contact with the play in.

We need to play better defense. Our offense is sustainable and we are really ****ing good on offense.

Even bums left wide open in the NBA will hit their shots. Thats on us not him getting lucky.

FWIW I see guys miss wide open threes literally every game. Hell, Malike Beasley had one tonight with no one near him and missed. Knox could be left wide open all game in the next game the pistons played and he likely doesn't shoot as well as he did tonight. It was bad defense and also a guy shooting better than he normally does even when open.

No, but we are slumping a little bit. All of those 5 losses were very close, which gives me more hope that the team is okay. We are also missing one of our best players in Conley. We have 2 more rough road games. But after that we have a long home stand were I think this team will get more practice time and rest. Hopefully we get a decent record during that and get back on track. If not we might need to think about roster adjustments and trajectory for winning.

Why did we trade Bogey for Olynyk again?

Yeah 3 losses separate the Jazz and OKC who is currently in 12th place.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Everyone crushing KO for his D… but Beasley was pretty rough too. Without his shooting we’d have lost by 20 doe.

Will Hardy talked about the poor calls in his post game presser. First time he's ever done that I believe.

At least Bill Kennedy probably made a lot of money tonight. I'm happy for him.
