Finally get a great effort from the bench and it's wasted. Beyond frustrating. Can't run a fast break, can't rebound a free throw, can't make a wide open 3 (until it was over).

Physically and mentally weak. It's just not happening this season.

Agreed, it's a collective fail. The same guys that occasionally play brilliantly also sabotage our chances of winning. Hell, even Dunn. He had a really nice stint there, then made a dumb turnover and got taken to school twice in a row by Rose.

Here is the scary part. We just finished the soft part of our schedule! It only gets tougher from here. After the next 10-15 games, we have a very good chance of having the worst record in the league. Can you believe that? Worse than Philly, Brooklyn, etc....Pathetic.

Sure, but once Dunn gets going and pulls out a late ROY win they'll be looking at their 3rd top pick in the draft in four years and 4th consecutive ROY award!

It's really embarrassing. We've had three of the four past #1 picks on our roster, two of whom were ROYs, and we are still one of the worst teams in the league. I can't stand to see us draft another lottery pick. Please......trade for a vet!

Embarrassed about what? The team's ineptitude doesn't reflect upon their fans, if anything it just highlights people's loyalty.

Thibs fuck up by putting belly in there. We had no one who can bang with oquinn except for cole. On offense, All belly does is stay on the perimeter. Wiggins, Lavine and rubio needs the space to operate there and belly takes up space. Heck even towns instinct is to stay on the peimeter and jack up 3. Not the best situation to put belly out there. Belly made 3 straight dumb plays that dig us deeper into the ground.

Not saying belly cost us the whole game. But thibs made the wrong decision in putting him back in there.

I think it's embarrassing for the franchise. How can they have such a treasure trove of lottery picks parade through here and not be able to assemble something resembling a competitive team?

The "Thibs adjustment period" is over. He had a full training camp, pre-season, and now about 20% of the regular season. And we have nothing to show for it!

Agreed, but part of me is becoming fatalist. What I mean is that if it wasn't him screwing up late, it would have been someone else. It was just his "turn". I'm starting to buy into Wildwolf's theory that these guys have caught the loser bug.
