Trying hard not to be a debbie downer because that's exhausting for all, but hardly a win that sparks confidence.

It's not just one thing, either - it's lapses on both offense defense, horrific shooting (and giving up high % on the other end - booty Pelicans shot 46% from 3), stretches of dumbassery. Hoping it's just the doldrums of the season and the fact that everyone is coming for us night in and night out.

I imagine they'd prefer Flagg in the nation's capital as opposed to New Orleans, but wouldn't they just rig the lottery instead of actual games?

Shot under 30% from three, against 46%, lost the three point battle by 12 points, lost FTs by 3 points, 1 fewer assist, Tatum -9, and WON THE GAME.

I'll take it.

I just looked back, ref had it right.
It was a VERY fast 5. The ref handed White the ball and immediately his arm went out (1), and White called timeout right as the refs arm went out for the 5th time. That's 4 seconds and change, on the sort of play where (if you call timeout) the officials usually give you 5 seconds and change. Fucking brutal, and very lucky that it didn't matter.

I used a stopwatch, 5.2 seconds before Derrick motioned. So technically right, though I bet they get the timeout 95% of the time.

I think what this team needs to wrap its head around is that they can't win this year just rolling the ball out there and playing. They'e got the target on their back and they're getting everyone's best effort, and they need to come out and play like it's the playoffs, or they're going to lose a bunch of games this year.
Rather them lose games now than be burned out in the playoffs like DEN last year.

Derrick White's head was elsewhere in the final minutes.
Dropping that inbounds pass from 5 feet away w/no one around him (after they dug in and forced a 24 second violation) changed the last 2-3 minutes altogether.

And the last two minutes report has the video. The video for the previous play (White's take foul on McCollum).

Literally nothing to see here.
