Because for all his talk about defense the guy loves playing chuckers who can't defend worth a damn.

I say they're being coached and used properly. They all play unselfishly. They look to make plays for their teammates. They've been coached to look to make passes for better shots. And their offense puts them in positions to do so.

You see that pass that JJ just made to Lou in the corner? That's a sort of play that exemplifies a mentality. I think JJ is the one that most often showcases the sort of approach so desperately needed in this team. DD against the Sixers as well.


Atlanta is absolutely not more talented than us. Coaching is the one and only difference between the two teams, and it's a massive difference.


Yeah that's what I'm trying to say. I think they're slightly more talented, but not by as much as the score differential. The difference is systemic.


Yeah, but their personnel is much better suited for that system. Even though we have a similar amount of talent, we wouldn't be nearly as successful if we tried to emulate them. They have a prolific shooter, and two bigs that can shoot, pass and handle.

We are being exposed. It's not even funny. This is like watching a D1 school coming into a some small mid-major school in North Dakota.

And that Horford low block possession is a perfect example of when to iso knowing you have the matchup. Their SL's iq **** on our entire team+coaching staffs IQ.

I wonder if Masai/MLSE will just bite the bullet. Admitting a mistake is better than letting a mistake continue to go on.

I actually though we weren't that bad today aside from TO's. Missed a lot of open looks. Defense got worse as the game went on.

Atlanta is just amazing.
