Down 21. This game is slipping away.

Well I'm taking a break watching until the play-in game guys. I do think we still have a shot to make some noise and will be fired up for that electric home crowd against the Clippers, but I just don't feel like watching meaningless basketball until then.

It's been a fun season, and I hope the team can win in the play in tournament. That said, this team is no longer a lottery dweller, but still not able to play with the upper half of the league.

Dlo has shot over 40% only twice in his last 11. Really need him to play better down the stretch

Get healthy. Get ready for the play in and hopefully we give some teams a run in the playoffs

This is ugly to say the least. Who knew that Jaden and Beas are that important to the team???? Lol

Just really disappointing to see how badly they are getting smacked around by these teams - Phoenix, Boston, and now Toronto. We are clearly not ready to play with the big boys yet.

That is what is disappointing. I think they competed against Phoenix though.

They really miss mcdaniels. Vando has had a good season but don't think he is the long term solution at PF

Agree. I love Vando and think he has really helped us become an average NBA defense. But just too many issues with fumbled passes, bobbled shots near the rim, getting stripped, tumbling to the floor, etc. He needs the NBA version of finishing school if something like that existed because he brings a lot of other important stuff to the table. I think he and Naz could be a really nice combo as our two bench bigs next season.

We need a legit starting big next to KAT. Someone that sets wide screens, carves out space in the paint, puts some pressure on the rim, and absorbs a few fouls that KAT would otherwise get.

I wish someone else on the team was consistently good like Kat. Ant is not there yet. DLo always has cold patches. It's gotta be frustrating for Kat. It'll be interesting how Kat responds during the playoffs or play-ins this year. The Houston playoff series was like his only bad stretch.
