No idea why Devonte was running the offense down the stretch. Even the inbound play on the last possession looked like it was designed for Devonte...

We took that big lead by taking it to the rack and then reverted back to trying to compete with Lou Williams and Bogdonovic on the threes.

Twice Graham goes inside the 3 point line and looked bewildered and threw the ball away. Needs to stick to just shooting 3s I guess

i have no idea why JB spends so much time trying to make devonte graham happen at PG man. the hawks just played the pass the entire 4th and graham went out of his way to run from layups and pass the ball before even make a defender take him seriously at the rim

we ran so many weird, pointless sets when terry can bring the ball up just fine by himself. we got so cute for no reason at all. wasted a good game from miles.

graham needs to get it together... because its looking like wanamaker doesn't even know his teammates yet but pushes this offense in the direction it needs to go better.

He is regularly hitting big threes for us, but he continues to be a completely liability once he drives into the paint and I don’t know if it is fixable

He was having a solid ass game up until that point. Hes been solid overall of late, but good grief everyone he dribbles inside the 3 point line half the time it doesn't result in anything positive. Frustrating

he probably had 18 and 6 or something but the entire 4th dude was just letting the defense stand up straight and just wait to jump on everyone on the perimeter.

usually its rozier bringing the ball up and initiating between the two of them late. graham's the catch and shoot guy. we got cute for no reason. and the biyombo/martin lineups continue to be a meme

We are just incredibly thin now. We might be stuck with Martin lineups for another week or two yet.

I am hoping that Monk will be back by next Sunday, against Portland, or the following Tuesday, April 20, against the Knicks.

Everyone in the league has been signing 10-day contracts except Charlotte.

On the bright side, the next game is against another team missing their two best players lol.

This was a good game, we just didn't close it well. Graham MUST start taking the easy layups when presented. He killed the energy toward the end...primarily when it mattered.

Hey LaMelo: My grandma is hoping she can get her outfit back so she can wear it to bingo on Wednesday night.

K? Thx.

Especially after having a 10 point 4th quarter lead. Giving up the three after that Miles dunk hurt.

I blame EC. He called the game a wrap when Miles went full "MKG on Monroe" on Capella and from that point we pooped the bed.

The Twins: Geez - easy to love, easier to loathe. They need so start staying in their lane - crash the boards hard, get deflections, dive on loose balls, take charges and dunk on fast breaks. They should be forbidden to do anything more. They try and get too cute and it inevitably ends in a turnover, disaster or both.

Rich 100% nailed it the other day: Wanamaker is a Felton clone (maybe even better than Felton). Just an ox. Great timing on his dives. Bully Bullymaker. That is what I will be calling him.

Was there a new rule introduced that says we could only take crappy 3pt shots for the entire 1st qtr? That was a joke. Drive the ball. Run a P&R. Do something other than launching terrible 3's. This is where we missed Gordo and his mid range game horribly.

Speaking of horrible - PJ. **** me dude, you are a disgrace on offense. Dude had 7FGA's and of the 7, 5 of them were from behind the arc. And he had zero FT's. That's not going to cut it.

We can't be expected to be taken seriously if we are going to play down to G League level teams who are trotting out players on 2 way contracts.

Looks that way. It must be pretty easy to defend when you know a point guard is going to pass every time he drives in the lane.

Down the stretch watching Devonte' Graham play how he played made me want to pull my hair out...

What a tough pill to swallow. This would've been such a big W. They had so much of their team not playing.

I really really hoped that after that Miles dunk we'd be fully energized and play passionate defense at the least...really sucks we couldn't get the win after that absolutely ferocious cram.

Sigh...
