You guys are ridiculous. That was a great game. They were fully healthy. We played with a shite roster off a back to back. Some of you guys need real perspective!
Keep making those excuses until they are not in the playoffs but having a tired Bi take shots when he was short every shot in the last 6 minutes. No ball movement last 6 mintutes and force feeding Bi was dumb.

Yeah they didn’t win but the fact wolves were healthy and we were missing half our guys off a back 2 back- to me i doubt they’re in the dumps. NBA players are smart. The wolves should be disappointed not us. They barely won against a team they should have blown out.

Lol ok stop watching after game 13- idiot. This was a great effort game. They were fully healthy. We were not and exhausted. Keep acting like we’re suppose to go 72-10. Have some perspective.

The difference in the 4th quarter was they had 2 stars and we had 1
I feel like that was plain to see
I literally take nothing but positives from this game

You can't argue your point without calling someone a name is very bright genious? I expect the team to win every night given the lead we have. A continuous lapse in these games i blame on the coaches. We can agree to disagree.

1 day Pels fans will look back and realize they didn't appreciate this dude enough...

If you whine about games like this most of the time, under the circumstances. What don't you whine about?

the moral victory comments are crazy. you'd think we're firmly near the top of the standings and can afford losses at home in winnable games. you'd think we've made playoff runs or even just made the playoffs each of the past 10 years or something
now if we were the warriors of last season and were coming an nba title and decided it would be smart to just coast during the regular season and rest healthy superstars sometimes then sure id get it, but this team needs every win it can get (especially when both zion and ingram are actually healthy and especially when coming off 2 fantastic games)
when we look back at this game near the end of the season when we're in desperation mode, we aren't going to say wow that was the night we prevented zion from tearing his ACL; phew what a fantastic decision we made there to dodge that bullet. we're going to say well that was another game we threw away for no reason
and now it's ok we've already rested zion twice on 2nd night of back to backs at age 23. there's another 10 or so games with this same situation. are we really just going to rest our best player 1/8th of every season in just hopes that we may have lucked into preventing some flukey play from happening? it's a horrendous way to approach sports management

The fact you’re upset we lost this game is complete lack of perspective. Its utter ridiculousness to be upset if you looked at the guys we played and who they played.
Posted on 11/18/23 at 8:56 pm to jprdbulldog20
If your upset we lost game you don’t know anything about basketball. We weren’t even suppose to be remotely in this game with the shite guys we put out there coming off back to back. They were fully healthy and rested.

youre missing the point. you can both be aware the pels played well for the most part to have it be a close, competitive game but also be upset that the pels went out of their way to make the game tougher on themselves for no reason. the whole resting approach is dumb as hell and has not shown to be a smart way to approach sports injury management. and if they were seriously under the impression that resting injury-prone players on 2nd night of back to backs is what's going to prevent a superstar injury, then you sit ingram too. babying zion is nothing but counter-productive

And despite all of this , we were up 14 mid way through the 4th quarter .
The should have been a W .
Imagine if the franchise centerpiece was allowed ti play .
For most it’s not this one game. It’s the approach , attitude , mantra of this franchise that upsets its followers

If we are in desperation mode at the end of the season it means we stay inured most of the season. It will then mean f*** all.

They played hard and competitive. Its an 82 game season. Fans bitch no matter what. Zion plays and missed that jumper- fans would bitch. Zion plays we lose and Zion gets hurt- fans bitch. Its just a bitchfest man.

Yep, not really any excuse, the Pels cannot break a zone defense without zion. It's pretty clear they went to Ingram exclusively in the 4th and ignored the val/Dyson pnr after we scored like 8 straight with it.

You want them to put the ball in a second year guy in crunch time over BI? What lol
Posted on 11/18/23 at 9:12 pm to Pels_Yaz
Like I mean what are we even talking about?
We are 6-7. That’s .462
That’s BETTER than any regular season we have had recently except last year
And we’ve done it with like not even half our team and against a ridiculously tough schedule
I get losses are frustrating. But have some perspective people

There is actual criticism. Then there is whining/ bitching. Then there is legit criticism/whining/bitching over things that are to expected, tired, and out of yours or anyone you're whining at control.

Lol yeah. If he's specifically being doubled and Val and Dyson are killing them keep doing what works.
Dyson is far better than most year 2 guys and Val is a vet. Trust your teammates.
