Like we tried to give up.  Hope they realize this isn't over.  Stay in it.

Weathered the storm. Only down 7 at the half. I'll take it. Still feels like they are juat hanging on for dear life. Boston can go on a 12-2 run at any moment. 

[Peoriabird]

Will someone tell Trae Young to stop shooting the 30 foot shots and pass the D-mn ball?

[JayBirdHawk]

Bogi with only 2 shot attempts????? 

 

[NekiEcko]

@Peoriabird He got 6 assist you hater you

[Diesel]

We need some defensive classes.  IF Brogdon runs around Hunter one more damn time..

[JayBirdHawk]

Yo Hunter.....WAKE UP!!!!

[Diesel]

Siddique Bey is playing...  his rebounding and nose for the ball...

Shit at this point with all these missed shots on good looks I say fire away Trae! …f**k it!

can’t play defense as a team and can’t hit open shots. Trae mind as well shoot it.

[Diesel]

Glad to see JC hit some shots... but JC dominates the low post.. with a back to the basket move.. Williams goes out of the game.. and we totally ignore JC the next time down.  We are the dumbest team in the world.

Is Hunter a net positive today or negative? Had some good moments defensively but also been blown by multiple times. Offensively, blah.

[Diesel]

JC needs to glue his ass to the low post and we need to play small ball from here on.

Don't tell me he can guard Multiple positions and that's a plus.  Tell me that his defense can stop somebody!

Positive imo, it's not like he's the only one getting blown by every possession, but he at least gives you some decent defensive possessions where he can be credited with the stop or poor shot selection.  He's not getting paid to be an elite two way wing.  He's getting paid like he's a mediocre two way wing and that's pretty much how he's playing.

 

EDIT: unless you meant literally he's negative plus/minus lol

That long three attempt demoralized the hell out of Dre who sprinted to the corner.  I can't really blame him either

 

His 1 - 4 FG for 5 points is demoralizing me too.

I had him scoring 20 pts my fanduel parlay tonight.  I just hope he gets 15 now.
