Please insert Claxton and Brown into the starting line up. Jordan and Green are a terrible front court.

This is another tough test. Dallas is good, and they're highly motivated to stack W's and stay out of the play-in tourney. Stein has carved us up in the recent past, so I don't think they'll miss KP much tonight.

We've got to dig deep for this one. Box out, hustle, make plays for others, take care of the ball. Let's go snatch another road win, go Brooklyn!

I feel ok about this one, especially since KP is out.

I hope our bench guys come out hustling like maniacs.

I think Claxton and Brown should play a lot more this game. Still confused why Claxton only played 5 minutes last game against the Bucks, but then he’s available tonight? Which means it’s not like he aggravated something and needed to be held out.

Unless Nash is playing some 4D chess and is saving Claxton as a secret weapon down the line.

As soon as I tune in, Blake turns it over and leads to a 3.

Nash is losing me quickly. We are not prepared for playoff basketball

Willey Cauley-Stein is a garbage player and we're letting him wreck us.

Our defense is so woefully bad sometimes.

Blake doesnt look good out there. Not entirely his fault but he is killing us on D esp.

I also don't understand how everyone just stares at the ball after a shot? Led to an easy offensive rebound and shooting foul. Like, who does the team think is going to get it if nobody moves towards the ball?

Anyway, typically when we're down like 7-10 points early, it's a wrap. We'll make a couple runs at some point to make it close, maybe even take the lead, but then we'll play stupid basketball and give up another 7-10 point lead, and it'll just keep happening until the end of the game.

Pretty sure this is a loss already.

There is no way that this team can survive a first round match up versus Miami

This team has the same bad habits that it had early in the season. Playing small exacerbates these habits.

Another offensive rebound.

This team is soft.

A brainless turnover by KD. He's been doing that a lot.

This is not a playoff ready team. Sloppy on offense, and abysmal defensively. The Bucks exposed us. Everyone knows now that if you crash the glass on offensed, this team is easy to beat.
