Raps lucky to be down 5. Should be at least a 10 point game, Atlanta is just the better team.

We look awful. GV and Ross especially

Pretty much everyone besides Derozan has been bad. JJ loafed on defense back to back plays.

[SpeedyGose]

Defense is actually not bad tonight since the daily terrible first five minutes. I think Jack said Korver alone had 5 turnovers

[dineke]

Don't know why we're honoring Muggsy, are we going to honor Barganani too when he retires?

[burlingtonbandit]

Well heres the Derozan-JJ lineup with Patterson on the court.

Don't mind it if the other big isnt Hansbro

[burlingtonbandit]

Wow such a smart play by Teague.

 

Ironic cuz thats a Lowry kind of play.

[SpeedyGose]

I think we need a little more from Kyle tonight. Hasn't been too good

We'll see how spacing works. Not sure it changes much with JV on the court, to be honest.

[burlingtonbandit]

Yeah not sure this lineup works. Just no space to operate at all. As bad as Ross has been his 3 point shot threat is needed with that lineup.

Hawks move the ball so well. Raps on the other hand.......

This proves even further that Casey's "do whatever you want" offense won't work in the playoffs

[burlingtonbandit]

Raps completely overmatched. Sad thing is Atlanta has missed some open shots so this game is probably worse than the score says it is.

[SpeedyGose]

Would be helpful if they didnt throw the ball away every 3rd possession

[jays_fever]

lol @ at that block by Horford on Ross. The guy plays at such a low intensity level other than when's on wide open on a f***ing breakaway

[dineke]

Trade the whole team for Demarcus Cousins. Jesus.

[Guest]

wouldn't be surprised if we see another first round exit.

Do whatever you want offence? Raps run a lot of sets on offence compared to the rest of the NBA.

 

People were calling for JJ to take Ross's spot on the starting lineup. Casey put him in there cuz Ross was sucking and clearly the personnel didn't work, I don't think that group could score much let alone against the Hawks defence.

He's gone on record saying the players have freedom to do what they like on offense

[burlingtonbandit]

Would anyone of been surprised before the season if they lost to the Cavs in the 1st round?

 

I think the team getting off to such a good start gave the fan base unrealistic expectations. This team is a top 4 seed that can win a round with a good matchup and could possibly win 2 if everything falls right.

lmao, Casey's a great coach.

[burlingtonbandit]

Hey TSN crew, guess what? Austin Rivers is awful and his dad isn't going to change that. Doc Rivers is a terrible GM.

[Spanky99]

Ruh-Roh!

Lol when/where did he say that? Tbh I get the impression the assistants do more for the offence than he does.

[Guest]

Leo is such a moron. Dude is unbearable.

[SpeedyGose]

I'll find it later but it was in one of his media things after practice

[SpeedyGose]

Horrible trade

[burlingtonbandit]

Lol JV put Amir on a poster there.
