I think we'll probably win a third quarter against Toronto right here. Oh wait.

I think people are more upset they didn't trade the pic for a star player. I don't think it was necessarily directed at Brown.

Kemba with all those lazy shots. He shoots like he expect them to miss. Damn wish Hayward was playing. We need his playmaking and perimeter shooting. Plus he has the ability to attack andbget to the basket, opening things up.

Kemba has to keep letting them fly and get past this mental hurdle. We’re not going all the way without him.

That’s a bold statement. :o :o :o :o


I love Crowder

The only that drives me crazy about him is seeing him become a 40% from 3 at 8 3PA/g and we have to **** see the face of Semi, Grant, Romeo, Carsen, Waters, other europe league level players on our bench.

All who aren't worthy of breathing the same air as Crowder and he'd be perfect in our rotation. Exactly what we need.

100% correct. I think people were looking for either Butler or PG in trade that year.

Nah, he usually reserves those scrub minutes end of 1st/start of 2nd. Unless someone gets in foul trouble, we'll see a 7-man rotation in the 2nd half.

In Game 7 Against Milwaukee Kemba Walker looked like a backup PG.

Now he looks like a third stringer. Yikes.

We were -8 with Tatum on the bench. Smart's stretch after Tatum initially sat hurt us a bit, we had been playing smart and patient and poised up until he started playing hero ball (he also gave up an open three to Nunn during that stretch). Our momentum never fully recovered.

While I am glad we are tied, they were able to get a number of good looks from 3 and some open layups/dunks down low. They'll make adjustments at the half and if we don't also make adjustments, they will score on us at will in the second half.

9-17 from three is partially them making everything but our three point defense was awful after the first quarter.

Gotta be better.

Kemba is having some really bad games in the playoffs, so terrible that he couldn't complain if he gets traded this offseason, it will not happen but damn.

Lucky to be tied at half.

Hopefully Brad gets these guys into it defensively. Walker can't be doing this. They need to figure out what's up, and find a way to give this guy some confidence. Low end bench level production from your max player is unacceptable.

When did Wanamaker become our best point guard? Kemba is getting completely owned by Dragic. That can't continue, right?

Kemba is not playing well not sure why it isn’t bothering me a ton. Probably because it was a complete defensive sh*tshow that quarter. If we are gonna struggle on defense anyway put kanter in.
