They keep making bs shots after bs shot.

They keep outplaying Adams.

Abusing him.

Nothing bs about wide open 3p, centers around the league are making that.

This is over. You can't win if the opponent makes every bailout shot he attempts.

That was one of those catch and shoot 3s by Russ that I was talking about.

Absolutely. We need defensive stops and Schröder is the worst defensive player in the regular rotation.

Why is Schroder still out there?

Billy's coaching is costing us this one down the stretch. Schroder clearly can't guard Kyrie. Schroder clearly can't guard anyone. How is this not clear to Donovan by now?

Two offensive fouls by Boston lead to buckets for them.

I know he didn't want to leave Horford, but that was still a really weak showing of help by Adams.

2nd time this season we don't call timeout in that situation and throw the game away.

Russ had Schroeder wide open right in front of him.

Really, this isn't a bad loss or a frustrating loss. It just sucks that we couldn't catch a break down the stretch and that Russ was a bonehead in the final 2 minutes.
