Quality rant!
I am so glad I have missed these last two games, and m not going to go out of my way to catch them from here on either.

We are a sorry excuse for a team. Every time I've turned the game on I've watched Rubio turn the ball over. What the hell happened to this team?
I was going to ask the same question. How do you score 41 in the first quarter and 58 the rest of the games? GS didn’t even have Green. Wow
A bunch of G-leaguers and former busts beat us. Pathetic.

Honestly I've been starting to wonder if Book is the guy.

We actually play better when he isn't on the court. The constant turnovers are killing me, and he's not scoring enough now to compensate for them.
I think some ego checking is in order

When he's playing well, he is an absolute superstar. I still think he can be the best player on a title team. We have more work to do.

No, he's not.

He doesn't contribute defensively, and he kills the clock too much on offense. He needs to be more of a complimentary player. Probably the #2 or #3 guy on a really good team.

This team needs a dominant PG. Ricky ain’t cutting it. Man if we had Dame Dolla with this crew I’d cry tears of happiness every night

Are we ready to tank yet?
It’s the better option but getting real tired of it. Especially since it nets us a player that doesn’t really move the needle. Wel probably land about the 7th pick and draft another Chris’s or Bender so what’s that going to help?

Need to find a more winning formula. Just don’t expect me to tell you what that is

The superstars are superstars even when they're not playing well. I was willing to look the other way the last few years when we had no talent and bad coaching, but losing to the Pistons and Warriors back to back at home at this point in the year with the playoffs at stake (as low as those odds may be), really makes me question things. He's gotta will this team to wins when he doesn't have it, when the rest of the team doesn't have it. Knock the overall talent level of this team, its ceiling, its max potential, whatever....we have more talent than both those teams and should've won. And aside from Oubre, as big a loss as he is, we have a full roster.

He's as smooth an offensive player as there is in the league but he plays almost too cool. There's no explosiveness, no downhill-attack-the-basket mindset, no keep-the-defense-on-its-heels pressure. Maybe it's coaching and offensive strategy and sets - I really like the offense in general and think our sets are very, very good. But we're not playing inside-out thru Ayton at all (Dario actually had a post and kickout for 3 last night that I've never seen from DA), it doesn't feel like the sets lead to open 3s, doesn't feel like we're playing fast or that Book's really setting guys up for easy looks. So maybe it's not all Book. But where's the homerun "I'm scoring 40 if that's what it takes tonight" mentality?

That was the toughest game to watch all year for me. Watching Chriss and Bender go off on us made it worse. I wonder who the coach will be next year.

I'm lost for words - at least in previous years we knew we sucked.

He's been in a funk for sure. Not scoring like he used to and throwing a lot of bad turnovers.

These two losses really hurt my 30 win prediction. These are games they absolutely should have won. Now they're at the low point of the season. Wake up!

Another thing is that we definitely got out-coached in this one.
