Rough game for TLC. Maybe get LeVert in there to close the half.

If you give the Hawks extra possessions (via turnovers and offensive rebounds) when they’re already a great offensive team, you’re going to lose.

Being smarter with the ball and actually fighting for boards would go a long way.

Kyrie needs to get going scoring wise. KD is keeping us alfoat right now

Caris needs to stop standing around after he passes who the hell does he think he is?? Christ

Wow, Kyrie is clearly off. It’s pretty safe to say he’s in a slump. I hope he finds other ways to contribute offensively until his touch comes back.

This is where I wish Kyrie was a little bit better at baiting some FTs and getting to the line for easy points. We've been in the bonus for a while, but have gotten 2 FTs out of it.

When your shot is off, it’s off. There’s not much he can do shooting wise until his touch comes back.

If he knows he’s off, I hope he doesn’t force it and just tries to find other ways to be a positive on the offensive end.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he’ll be out taking extra shots at halftime.

I really hope Kyrie's shoulder isn't **** again...

KD was fouled, no call. These refs kill me.

Our offense is way too easy to guard. We’re doing one or two passes and shooting. The defense is barely expending energy guarding us.

Yet on the other end, the Hawks are making us work with their system. We gotta do something.

How was that not an and 1 for KD??? Cmon refs

Strong finish to an otherwise poor half. Kyrie needs to get it going and we need LeVert to start stepping up

We miss Spencer so much. I'm frustrated as hell right now.

Really poor half overall, hopefully we can get going on both ends in the 2nd half.

Honestly not the worst ending to the half, given how bad I feel we've played. 9 point game while Kyrie is ice-cold, we can't buy a 3 pointer as a team, and we're turning the ball over like crazy.

Only saving grace right now is Durant, he's been awesome.

Nah I just think he's in a nasty shooting slump over the last couple of games right now.

Yeah, and the answer is that we need to make shots. How many bricks have Irving, TLC, and Harris fired up so far? That's the more glaring concern.

Why does that come to mind? Was he grimacing?

No, I didn't notice any reaction, but just the way his shot seems off right now is the same way it was last season when he got hurt.

We need to let Cheeze, tyler and Brown get some mins. Jeff Green played some solid mins at the 5. We need a little energy booster out there especially defensively.

He looks fine physically, he is just in his own head. Needs to see a few go down and he'll be fine.
