I want to hope that this team will compete, but I just don’t believe we will make it far this year. So hard to watch us light it up, but really struggle against LAC, OKC and other top tier teams.

Not really. We've had 3 bad games in a row against good teams during hte hardest month of the season. We've also beaten this thunder team, dallas, minnesota, philly, sacramento, golden state, and the lakers.

We're good against decent teams like the Kings and even the Timberwolves who are going to come back down to earth in the 2nd half. However, we aren't that good against teams that are clearly built for deep playoff runs.

We just beat the Jazz who had been arguably one of the best teams in the league over the last 15 games

We were missing our best player and all our shooters couldn’t shoot and Trey is still slumping hard

Statistically our record against good teams is actually quite good

In fairness, we didn’t have our best player tonight.

Y’all might be right. I hope we find a way to match the phisically with teams who want to bully Ingram. When teams throw off our rhithym, it seems like we are slow to respond.

Also, I’m beginning to get impatient with Dyson’s Offensive development. Feel like his minutes take away some of our flow.

Minnesota? Utah? Cavs?

And don’t say Cavs don’t count, because the roster they have without Garland and Mobley is doing better than with them

We’re 1-2 against minnesota when Ant plays. Utah is .500 and the 10th seed

we don’t suck. We’re just good. Not great. Doesn’t seem like we’ll ever be great with this current roster

It’s also frustrating how trash we are at home. Everytime we fill up the arena, these guys shite a brick. No dogs on this team

The OKC win was good. The Clippers were not remotely the team they are now when we got them, in fact, they were really trash at that early point in the year.

You can also make the claim that OKC team isn’t the same team either. Youngest team in the league 4 games into the season. They’re a ton better now

I don’t believe this. And this stretch the Pels are on now prove it. OKC, Milwaukee, Boston. OKC crushed them. Now what? Beat Milwaukee? Compete hard against Boston? Can they win a game against a contender? Not lately.

We aren't beating anyone when 1 of our big 3 is out and the other 2 combine for 24 points. Then factor in Trey with just 6. That's freaking pathetic.

We have no star on this team. And neither of our top 2 guys can shot a 3. Not usually a deep playoff caliber mixture

Should have traded Zion. It’s a shame.
