[benhillboy]

 Not a fan of Clint strafing the perimeter defensively.  I just learned that word arose from video games.

Capela really doesn't need to play in this series.  He really struggles against all the top playoff teams.  He's terrible against Philly and Milwaukee too.

Idk, Trae hasn't really been that bad today. Murray been awful on offense tho.

He needs to go to the West where the bigs are more stationary.

Absolute devastating sequence right there.

[Diesel]

This is the second time he Reggie Miller'd his shot.

Rinse & Repeat from the 1st 2 games.

Hawks make a run to get it close but then make dumb plays that allow the C's to push the lead back up.........

[benhillboy]

Gallo on the sideline looking like a Bond villain.  I miss that cool ass mfer piling threes, drawing post fouls, and tripping over his own feet lol.

I meant frontcourt.. But yeah backcourt hasnt been good either..

We need more than "not that bad" from Trae..

[Diesel]

We are playing their pace.  We need to pick up the pace, pick up the scoring, and play better defense. 

[Carmine]

Hopefully we can start making more shots in the 2nd. We are doing good on limiting our turnovers.

[terrell]

So how do we get off JC contract?

Any ideas @NBASupes?

[JayBirdHawk]

Bench with only 10 points. OO is giving us nothing.

We are getting out rebounded.

We missed too many shot in the paint.

JC/CC 5 points.

Dallas. Sadly, just Dallas. They need a replacement for Wood but they need someone to take their useless garbage like Bertrans and JaVaaaaaaale McGee

[terrell]

I won’t say this game is over…

But guys are going to have to make shots.

Even marginally better to win this game. Geez

Positive, we’re currently winning the turnover battle.

So if we can hit a few more shots then we’ve still got a chance to win, despite the defense being utter trash the 1st half.

Yeah really disappointed in OO tonight

[terrell]

JJ is the only player in the + for the +- crowd...

 

 

Has Dre ever been our leading scorer in a win?

[Diesel]

Hunter has the three pointer wide open all night.

Id do it if theyre on short contracts.. lol

[Diesel]

Barkley is partly right, we have to play a little faster... Not allow the Celtics to get their defense set. 

 

[Dnice]

They're overwhelmed,   watch them cut the lead in the 3rd to about 7, only to fall back to about  13.
