I know. Our offense looks stagnant with Lue.

Feels like a repeat of the MIL game. Hot to start then zero buckets down the stretch.

WTF are we doing? Lue throwing the ball to the Raptors and Smith blowing a wide open dunk? We are going to get pounded on this upcoming road trip.

Another game, another loss..Atlanta basketball.

OUr team doesn't handle adversity very well. We have a couple big plays against us and we just start to shoot ourselves in he foot. (Please Use More Appropriate Word) passes, ball slipping out of our hands.

Joe stands 10 feet behind the 3pt line and hits nothing by net...

Playing Ty Lue for more than 2 minutes is never productive. EVER.

You guys have to establish a post game... far too many jump shots.

We were pathetic in the last 18 minutes. Have to give Toronto credit though...they played extremely well down the stretch unlike the Bucks.

Pretty poor effort late.

This will be a great experience for us in the future. But this is not a playoff team yet.

This game was played with playoff intensity and it shows who the big time players are. Bosh was incredible and Calderon was great. We need guys like that on this team to step up if we want to be a playoff team.

Damn we're inconsistent. A lot of it is easily avoided, too. Josh Smith has his way with the Raptors in the first half and we don't even try it in the 2nd half.

PLEASE TRADE LUE OR JUST CUT THAT BUM

I would feel sooo much more comfortable with him in another state. I don't want that bum around the rest of the players at all.

We tried to go to Horford down low..Bosh and Moon kept blocking his shot. We need a GOOD veteran point guard. Calderon in the 2nd half outproduced all 3 of our point guards put together. Lue and AJ are vets but they make as many dumb mistakes as our young players do with the game on the line. This team needs Andre Miller in the worst way.

The Raptors made the adjustment. Smith was owning Bargnani so Mitchell just put more athletic players on him(Moon and Bosh).

I think the blame goes to the coach and the point guards. Whose responsibility is it to distribute? The PG. Who should chew him out if he doesn't get it to his hottest player? The coach.

Josh Smith never tried to go low. He only took 1 or 2 shots in the 3rd quarter and then forced a couple more late. Smith was "owning" Bosh in the first half too.
