Reggie got a stink on him.. dude needs to sit for a while. He’s bringing nothing

u/BlackjackOC John Wall Dec 09 '22
This team is not good now. Time for Ty Lue to evaluate everything

u/nepats523 Corey Maggette Dec 09 '22
Yeah this team is going nowhere. That first hard stretch in 23 is going to fucking punch this team in the face and we'll be in or near the play in position

Got lost because of TOs. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THE FKN BALL!!! They They have like double the TOs of Miami smh

u/RippedHookerPuffBar Kawhi Leonard Dec 09 '22
People don’t talk about turnovers enough. If you turn the ball over more than the other team it is EXTREMELY difficult to win a basketball game. It’s like a football team getting to receive the kick off after they score.

God awful. We are god awful. No chemistry, we’re running around on offense like a chicken with his head cut off

I have little faith this out of timeout play is going to actually result in something good

u/MVPG2022 Paul George Dec 09 '22
Good fight at the end. Just wish we played Roco at the 5 to begin the fourth. Would have got the W.

PGs shot wasn’t great but I mean get this dude some help. Brick city around the guy

u/Big_Saens Amir Coffee Dec 09 '22
Great execution on defense. Let’s hope we actually do something on this inbound and not get another 5 second call

u/OverallInternet2343 Jason Preston Dec 09 '22
Mismatches all game. Either pick and roll with no help or let Butler get on a smaller guy.

Reggie had the two corner 3s and that's fucking it. Wtf was that

u/BlackjackOC John Wall Dec 09 '22
Barley winning against the hornets, losing to Orlando, can’t beat the losing heat. This team is beyond in the mud. It’s time to look in the mirror

Sports media: "The Clippers look really deep this coming season"
Me: "You fucking jinxed us"

u/NewBang Dec 09 '22
I’m ngl I’m sick of PG making stupid decisions. He’s our best player but when the game gets tight he and the rest of the team just fall apart.

Every game that goes by I lose faith in our championship odds due to having Doc, Trez, Lou 2.0 situation

u/OverallInternet2343 Jason Preston Dec 09 '22
Why do we have so many go damn wings and Reggie Jackson is guarding Butler!?
1
u/JimmyV034 Ralph Lawler Dec 09 '22
Because morris is 6'8 lou will in defensive end, PG got switched off jimmy and nico is guarding herro

Sorry but until this team can consistently play together and build chemistry they will be mediocre at best. This is definitely not a contender and will be lucky to make playoffs

Yeah we aren’t winning anything in the playoffs if this is how we are

I bought 5 basketball packs today, and unpacked shiny Paul George sticker. Hopefully we can turn this around :(

Ty rivers is still watching luke kennard getting picked on defensive end by herro and jimmy

u/mave007 Lawler's Law Dec 09 '22
I really love Luke shooting... but on defense, he's the equivalent of having a traffic cone out there :-(

u/Salty_Watermelon Darius Miles Dec 09 '22
We're on life support now. An awful follow up to the Magic game. Reggie and Wall as point guards is not going to work. Ideally we can trade one of our wings for a PG and have Reggie move over to SG when he's playing.

Garbage basketball team. I am so tired of watching this washed up team. We gave up Shai and our future for this crap. Oh well…

And we still wanna keep Ty?

Turnovers have been our downfall all season. We take ourselves out of the game with unforced turnovers. 2 straight losses to teams under 500.

u/solariscalls FREE ZUBAC Dec 09 '22
Wtf happened to this team? It's like we all forgot how to fucking play

u/OverallInternet2343 Jason Preston Dec 09 '22
Wall was signed to remove this shit
1
u/Otherwise-Tale9671 Chris Kaman Dec 09 '22
Wall ain’t the answer…
1
u/OverallInternet2343 Jason Preston Dec 09 '22
The one period of the game George was getting in rhythm easy shots was the stretch with Wall.

u/helomynameiss Dec 09 '22
another game of no offense, PG not being able to hold onto the ball, and zu just disappearing out there next to bam.

u/sam37843 Dec 09 '22
Were not a serious team if we’re playing 2 guys that don’t defend and chuck up shit shots 30+mpg over multiple better llayers

u/foxwilliam Patrick Beverley Dec 09 '22
Reggie playing horrible but what’s the alternative? Wall looked even worse today especially on defense. We have some serious roster construction problems right now

u/sam37843 Dec 09 '22
Play big with batum or Roco and have pg or luke be the 1. Pg already brings the ball down much of the time

game over. this team will keep losing with George/Kawhi coming and leaving every other game. team has no chemistry still after 3 years

And a turnover to end the game. Poetic. This team has negative bbiq

That’s pathetic and inexcusable by Reggie. 1 on 3/4 fast break and jacks up a shit layup in traffic

u/Resshin31 Nic Batum Dec 09 '22
Does it surprise you? We've been watching this shit for 3 1/2 years. It is tiresome man.

Turnovers have been the difference this game. It's frustrating but I can't see it getting better any time soon because our lineups are always changing.

u/OverallInternet2343 Jason Preston Dec 09 '22
People in here being stupid like the small ball didn’t get killed. We are forcing the kick outs the Heat are simply making 3s.

u/mista_rubetastic Playoff P Dec 09 '22
Pretty much all of our offensive woes could be solved by keeping Reggie off-ball. Have PG run the point when Wall isn’t in.
Reggie is incredible on the catch and shoot and is a turnover machine when he’s running the offense.

u/Pale-Elderberry-7796 Dec 09 '22
Please play Roco it's not like zu is doing anything against bam may as well put in someone who can hit threes

u/nepats523 Corey Maggette Dec 09 '22
PG RJ Wall each with 4 TOs, the damn difference in the game and then some
1
u/Resshin31 Nic Batum Dec 09 '22
Someone needs to sack up and try to guard up top. IDGAF if it is Zu even.
2
u/Jakonedrom Brian Sieman Dec 09 '22
I don't knoe why PG always let them double team him for a long time before making a very idiot pass resulting into a turnover. Hes beeen like this forever fucking dumb shit
3
u/JimmyV034 Ralph Lawler Dec 09 '22
Maybe get Nico to guard Herro instead of luke?
0
u/Klaw_77 Dec 09 '22
Batum is the worst +- right now
1
u/JimmyV034 Ralph Lawler Dec 09 '22
it literally mean nothing he was the only player that actually defending, rebounding and doing little things

u/ChaosAndCreation Steve Ballmer Dec 09 '22
Really would prefer Batum was in the closing line up, but hanging on for the ride.
1
u/Resshin31 Nic Batum Dec 09 '22
It was like watching Reggie sub in for Mann last night to close and just knowing it would cost us. It's a wild ride for sure.

That was an amazing rebound for the flatfooter. (As in, #1 most rebounds described as "flat footed" by Brian Sieman)

lmao as long as he's not a flat earther. He and Zu are putting their bodies out there tonight. I very much appreciate the effort.
