That kind of implies we're almost unbeatable 71.4% of the time, but I wonder what percentage of our games against the top teams would be under 33% from 3. If it's similar to the rate against the general competition then that would vindicate the strategy.

As much as I am not a fan of Mazzulla, the bench being trash can't be blamed on him.

He’s to blame if he puts them all together at the same time. Horford and hauser are useless out there

I think way more blame should fall on tatum than those two backups who didn't shoot that much..

Nah. Hauser had tons of open looks, and horford does nothing on offense. Nothing tatum can do if guys around him can’t hit shots.

Fast starts are the kiss of death for this team. It makes us lazy

Down 8 Rebounds in H1. Only 4 Turnovers and 10 Fouls, but Man, Rebound the Damn Ball. Bunch of Pussy's.

Tatum has okay numbers, but it seems like he's playing with little force. I don't want him to settle so much.

He's been horrible

Too many 3's in H1 considering they weren't hitting. They could get closer looks, if they weren't lazy and actually worked for them.

Derrick white should be getting all the last shot possessions. He's the only one trying to get downhill as much as possible. So sick of Tatum dancing behind a pick for a bad shot that puts zero pressure on the defense.

Why do the ESPN guys keep saying that Brown collided with LeBron? At the very least, LeBron's knee hit Brown in the back.

Hes settled for weeks and getting worse as the season is going. This team doesn't post up enough when they can. That can generate open threes too but they rather play hot potato and shoot the first open one they get

SAM currently missed 2 shots.. But he definitely needs to head up couple to free up everyone....

No ball movement and just jacked up two threes. Please do not tell me you like our coaches philosophy And please do not tell me this is not our coaches philosophy..
