I went to the game last night for the same reason (cheap ticket, last chance to see Giannis), and I feel the same way. The first quarter was fun, and the rest was just sad. Poor switches on defense leading to mismatches, easy lay ups and open threes again and again. A lot of finger pointing on offense like no one knew what to do. The Cam Thomas, 4 bigs lineup made no sense to me. A far cry from the Bud days where there was a definite system in place and players knew their roles. There is talent and athleticism on this team, I think just as much as Atlanta, Charlotte, and Boston. A better coach could get more out of this group. Sadly, I don't think GIannis stays around for that.
The stadium was less than half full, and with 6 minutes left only down 12, it pretty much emptied out. It wasn't just the late start time that people aren't showing up or staying.
