There’s getting beat and beating yourself. You think a perennial 9 seed has the luxury of not winning every game they should

At least after listening to Willie and Ingram in the post game presser, they aren’t happy with losing like you are. Raise your expectations and standards or you’ll always be the lovable loser

Im not happy they lost, no one should be.

I think its asinine that you EXPECT a win when your playing on back to back without half your roster against a rested fully healthy top team in the west. We just went 2-1 against the top 3 teams in the west. And your arse is still bitching. Grow a brain or you’ll always be the lovable bitching dumbass no one takes seriously.

You were arguing with a guy for pages talking about David Griffin being the GM, you over here talking about dumbasses not being taken seriously

Please stop and gain some perspective

Lol haha ok so your argument against you having perspective is bringing an off topic argument I had with someone else which has nothing to do with this?

Man it must suck when you dont have facts to back up bitching when we went 2-1 against the top 3 teams in west with several injuries. But I guess thats what people who constantly bitch do.

They were favored 6 2 3. Im sure there are no other teams that had a night off, with 2 starters and Merph out. If ya going to be mad about Zion, it is what is. Scream! I hope yall keep yourself to the same professional standard.

Expecting to win a B2B is a no.

But after winning the entire game… we blew it big time. We were at home, so had that advantage and there was no travel involved, so 24 hours rest.

I’m not hearing this ‘it’s just 1 game’ bollocks because we’ve already had that 3 times this season. THEY ALL MATTER. and It all tallies up.

We were up 14 in the 4th..We basically lost an 8 minute game by 15!! That’s piss poor and we shouldn’t shrug it off ever but we continually do for some reason.

Because its the NBA it happens to a lot of teams. The thunder blew a 20 point plus lead to us at home and still are winning big games. The warriors are on a 6 game losing streak. The Suns and Bucks haven’t started out the gates that well. The clippers were struggling. Yet all these teams in the end will be a force come playoffs time. I get the concern but winning and losing games like this in the NBA is fairly common. At the end of the day at some point they need to be fully healthy and run off a win streak- which how hard they’re playing is more than possible. But close wins/losses are very common in the NBA. Sure we should be agitated but we shouldn’t also blow this out of proportion.

- we didn’t have CJ, Zion, Jose or Trey; we played a close game with champs the night before- these guys were exhausted and it showed. Meanwhile the wolves have one of the leagues best defenses, are fully healthy and rested. Also 8 minutes is an eternity in NBA standards. I get the agitation but there needs to be some understanding of advantages the other team has in regards to healthy players and rest.

The Wolves are a very good team.
We just didn’t catch a break at the end. I don’t blame BI for the loss. That doesn’t make sense.

What you and I EXPECT does not matter .

Do you think the team went into the game with all of those excuses about back to back , guys are hurt etc. ? No , they showed up to play and win.

The issue is the organization as a whole constantly hamstrings itself so every game at the end of the season is do or die . Its an offense that has been repeated over and over . The only explanation is mediocrity is accepted.

It is an 82 game season . The games in November count the same as the one on March and April .

Again. Your perspective is that ppl are mad about last nights game. Last nights game is a microcosm of the organizational approach and mentality at that’s what’s maddening .

You guys act like what the pelicans do is so absurd and wild. Go watch teams outside the pelicans. MANY teams do this in resting their players early and trying to preserve them later in the season. Again this every game counts take is honestly by fans who don’t understand todays nba- yes I get it and its annoying but its also very common- but no nba team is going to push players to play in games like its the playoffs in November. Again these same fans would throw a bitchstorm if Zion goes out and gets a season ending injury in back to back.
