So the Hawks missed at least 3 FTs and still lead after one quarter.

This is one of the worst offense in the nba btw.

They have 3 days of rest after this game, what is Brooks doing?

Yeah, I think Brooks will get back to using at least one starter in there with the bench. Having all five in there in a playoff game was ludicrous.

The rotation is only 3 guards, so Jennings and Wall will play some minutes together

I'd rather have Sato. At least he plays defense and is a better shooter.

The bench shouldn't be able to kill us because they shouldn't be in the damn game. This is embarrassing. Ride or die with your starters. 40+ minutes each.

I don't think playing him with Sato is the answer either. I'd go back to Oubre at the 2. Problem is Smith at center, Bogs at the 3 or 4 limits defense. It is what it is without Mahinmi.

You can"t say bench killed us when Brooks put a full bench lineup that never proved anything without Mahinmi.

He sent them to their death basically. At least give them Otto.

We need to tighten up the rotation in the playoffs.

Bogey/Smith/Oubre off the bench and *maybe* minutes for Jennings when Wall is on the bench. Mahimi takes Smith's minutes when he comes back.

Why is Brooks playing some of these guys? these are the Playoffs man, tighten up your rotations until you establish a lead, Bogdanovic, a bit of Oubre and Smith, since Mahinmi is out is all I'd play, when Wall is out run the offense around the shooters and maybe let Markieff playmake a bit.

Also what's with this trend of not mix-matching your frontcourt guys? either he goes with none spacing and all toughness or with all spacing and 0 rebounding...
