Considering we suck in the 3rd I’ll take a 1pt lead.

You can't have pitiful snots and possessions to end quarters against top teams. End of 2nd and 3rd quarter shots were atrocious.

Brown shooting more 3s when he's struggling is a great stategy

Tatum needs to win the Murray bench matchup to start the 4th

Cs still lead even if the Nuggets won the 3rd by 5 points.

But the Nuggets were forced to play Jokic the whole 3rd qtr.

So we'll see if Jokic will have enough down the stretch.

Can't win when Brown and JT aren't showing up, need a good 4th

Cs need a floater and midrange pullup if they can't get all the way to the rim.

Garbage quarter by everyone not named Derrick white and Horford.

Brown needs to **** play better. Can’t even cook Jamal Murray one on one. Tatum may take ugly ass high difficulty threes as his misses but brown shouldn’t be missing so many clean open looks.

Holiday has to step up against the best competition. I don’t care if you cook awful teams like the spurs, gotta show up in the big matchups. Too many duds.

And smothered us on D and made us look like a high school offense to end the 3rd. :nonono:

Tatum and brown are now 2 for 15 from three.. If that number is amazingly 5 out of 15, We'd be up double digits..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

They won the non jokic minutes to start the second. Let's hope that doesn't repeat itself in the 4th.

This is why PP can't play in the postseason. It's as if he wasn't even there.
