Get KP out of the game

KP out of sorts

[SCeltic34]

We have a 7' 3" player and a 7" 1" player on the court.  And we still can't grab the rebound.  I dont like the KP and Kornet combo.

[jpotter33]

That's an inexcusable offensive rebound. Nobody hustling on the boards at all letting the ball fall on the ground, let alone with two seven footers on the floor.

Just another embarrassing effort out of the guys.

[Yuckabuck33]

KP gets pushed. Again. So he gets tired of it and fets called for a foul. This is ridiculous!

[celticinorlando]

Just an embarrassing two games vs an awful Atlanta team

On a back to back missing half their team

[ozgod]

Frustrating game.  The C's look soft and uninspired.

They don't look like a championship team. They look like second round fodders with the effort given.

I don’t mind them bein put under pressure because that’s what they will face in the playoffs. They’ve not been put under pressure much this season with all the blowouts so I feel it’s a weakness…best get more reps under pressure, even if it’s due to their own ineptitude, when it doesn’t matter so they handle it better when it does. I’m excited to see how they respond

It's one thing to ask for being under pressure to work on. But another thing when there's been a history of that since the Jays came in and all they've done are taking poor ISOs or bad BBIQ

They have to learn to find ways to win while not playing well, can’t always shoot 50% and blow the other team out

[Atzar]

Sheeeeesh.  Who the hell did JB just decapitate?

[jpotter33]

Wow, JB. Maybe that'll get us going into the fourth.

[SCeltic34]

Holy crap.  Who gives a crap about the dunk contest.  JB dunks IN GAME.

Prepping myself for some sort of lineup that makes zero sense to start this quarter

Get KP out of the game

His stat line looks nice, but he's looked bad this game. He's been owned by Capela most of the night.

Feels like the league has found a recipe against KP - be aggressive and physical with him and he can't handle it. Honestly, that works for the rest of the team, too.

[celticinorlando]

Kornet stood there and watched the rebound

Just now tuning in ........ to GameCast.

Better hop we never play the Hawks in the playoffs again. I'll have to watch the boxscore. Knoxville is 3+ hours away from Atlanta, do they really think I'm gonna drive down to see the game. Plus I pay for NBA Pass, the league is just reaming fans for every little dollar.

You might. I mean, it's game 73 of the regular season when we've already secured the 1-seed in the east and are likely to have HCA throughout the playoffs. Now is the time for Joe to experiment with different lineups or seeing if they can course correct without a timeout.
