Officiating is nonsensical tonight
These are the crappy calls they need to prepare for in the playoffs.

Wait til we face the sixers round 1 and the Harden/Refs lovefest
Serious ref job tonight, but we let them shoot 57 pct from 3 and the field. After giving up 61 pct the last game. Where is the defense?

Can't even get too upset when it's that blatant.
Dont blame the refs, we couldnt make stops.

Yeah and it's not like the heat is some offensive juggernaut. I dunno, maybe the hunger isn't there this late in the season.

Wondering why McBride is getting Frank’d out of the rotation
Brutal officiating start to finish - Brunson/Randle 6 free throws combined and Butler 14.
Brunson killed on D most all night - just like Mon. Brunson with 5 sloppy TO’s.
We let Vincent/Struss look like splash bros.
Quick 1-8.
Thibs refuses to challenge anything —- refs blowing calls on I-Hart before he could check in game.

This team is getting away from what made it successful. It is not an offense based team, that offensive efficiency rating was high because they were defending and running and scoring off their defense. This team is not equipped to win games where they allow over 120 or so points. Every good run this team had was based on defensive good to great defensive metrics, their offensive system is not suited to how they are now trying to win. They are losing their identity.

We measure success when it’s money time. 8 games left, we have entered money time. Gotta turn this around. Good time to start a new streak.

Agreed - we are wanting to win easy with offense and that’s fools gold.
We are still giving effort defensively but we are being careless and making poor decisions- very frustrating.

We arent headed to the lotto. Its important that we get past the first round. It will get the rest of the league's attention.

You are ignoring that heat and nets are virtually tied for the 6 spot
If we fall into the playin and lose, we are a lotto team. Believe dat
I don't know what has happened to our defense but if we don't fix it quickly we are going to have a repeat of the Hawks series! Just inexcuseable to play that poorly after the effort against the Wolves! The cHeat are one of the worst offensive teams in the entire league and we allowed them to drop 127 points and 16 threes.
I know the zebras were awful and biased the entire game but we still did not deserve to win this game with that effort. Our defense starts with the key guys playing with the proper energy and concentration and I've seen a huge drop off in those areas in Grimes, Hart, Rob and IQ. Thibs also needs to do a better job here. If any of these guys are slacking, bring in Deuce! And Brunson, RJ and especially Randle (stop leaving your damn man wide open!!) need to pick it up as well!
If we fancy ourselves as a team that is going to outscore teams and don't need to bother playing defense or rebounding or taking care of the ball, we are going to get embarrassed in the playoffs like two years ago.
Anyway, so much respect to Clyde. I thought he handled himself perfectly as always in honoring his friend Willis and told so many great stories. Chuckled at Reed getting Clyde a date as a rookie the first day he met him! Breen was great as well. We are so freaking lucky to have these two calling games! Enjoy them cause they won't be here forever!
