You have to grind them to a halt but there is no possible way that you can keep such intensity for 48 minutes. The lack of Scorers/Shooters and Boston's spacing/talent prevent that from happening.

I am focused on points because we are having a hard time scoring outside of one person.


Like I said - Black is in and we’re bringing the lead down. We’ve slowed their scoring and picked up ours.

But keep telling me how Black is hurting us…


Who said Black was hurting, I said we need points which Cole brings. We are still down 9.

Black taken out for Houstan. I think chasing points instead of maintaining defense will probably cost us this game.

AB with another +5 6 minute stint (+10 in 14 min total)... and we'll be lucky to see him for 5 more minutes the rest of the way

I’m hating this offense where Paolo holds the ball forever. There was a reason why Carmelo won nothing
