This is why I said don't get too high with this team. It's very flawed, our ceiling is 1st around playoffs even in this weakened East. The flaws are everywhere from roster to coaching. This shouldn't be a close game but it is.

Agreed need to have ball in Barnes and Ingram hands a bit more and reduce the decision making from Barrett. I love RJ but his game is best when it is more simplified.

Such a smart player and we're lucky to have the luxury of bringing him off the bench.

It's the NBA, bad teams are going to put up a good fight against good teams and occasionally beat them.

A lot of that is IQ imo. He needs to understand better than RJ should be touching the ball after it first through 2 or three players first. He has been giving the ball to RJ as the first initiator all game

Scottie just hasn’t been able to rim pressure like that since the Cavs game. Such a shame.

When he goes hard, he gets the foul. When he doesn't, he doesn't get any calls

they're a good but not great team.....we can't expect them to go from a tanking team to a real contender this quickly. You can bring up the Pacers but that type of run is an outlier.
