It just seems like we are in cruise control.. Our rotations our cuts our rebounds are a shot selection..

It's like we can't have a sense of urgency until midfourth quarter..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

I know I'm asking for much but can you imagine if we actually ran more plays or any plus Sam Hauser?

I mean he only seemingly gets passes when they cheat off of him

The odds on Garland doing exactly that were 100%

5 games in a row of bad defense. Cavs missed a ton of open 3's first half too.

Guy shoots 45% on 3’s and all we have are Brown and KP chucking 3’s.

These guys never even look for Hauser and I can’t understand it. Easiest assist in the league.

JT and JB know they can get away with throwing up any bull shot if we have a "2 for 1" chance lol. Don't even attempt to create a good shot

We take quarters off. I thought first half was really good.

Hauser getting cooked defensively at the end of that quarter. First Levert drives on him, easily able to get to his spot and hit the shot over him. Then Garland crossed him up and hit the 3, it was like Hauser wasn't even there on that play.

He's usually better defensively than that. Maybe he just needed a breather..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Maybe..last four were over 45/40 + shooting. Not good enough.
