Getting? It is. The game switched when Duncan checked in.

The defense started aggressive. They weren't giving up the soft switch. Now everything is breaking down everywhere: the defense is soft, over helping, and simple confusion.

And the offense panics and hunts for thev3 ball. We got good early offense by hunting switches, no it's just swing swing swing and take a 3.

I am not gonna get mad at the players , the coach for this a$$ whooping. It was always going to be like this if we played Cavs or Celtics. These 2 teams are levels above us.
I am mad they decided not to tank to get the 10th seed so they get embarrassed on National TV

Its a 3-point chuck fest that they are winning (both teams taking over half their shots from 3). Hard to take a lot from that, although I think in our case we're too reliant on the 3, for them its the shot they want obviously. I think on the road you need to be able to get to the line to slow the game down and get easy scores, and like said we haven't gotten to the line at all.

The problem is they will have to hit a lot of them while also stopping the Cavs on D to get them out of the paint.

Im just picturing it in my head. Adding Durant to this team right now without giving up Ware, Wiggins, Herro Bam.. still does not make us better than the Cavs. I dont see it. And thats assuming we dont give up any talent we have when we approach that trade. If we do give up talent, we are about the same still or worse

The complete rebuild can now begin with full control of next two first round picks.

It won't matter if your best playmaker is Tyler Herro. Your best rim attacker is Davion Mitchell. Playmaking and rim penetration is kinda the 2 things you need for an elite offense. We don't have either at high level

lol Cavs shot chart just looks like a 3-point shootout. I don't know how you can even draw any conclusions from this, besides they are having a great night.

Reminds me of Spurs 2014, if a team does that you just shake their hand and give them their due.
