That was an amazing flop by Smart right there. I'm impressed

When Calderon is complaining about a flop... you might have flopped.

is it wrong that I wanted Smart to shoot that one instead of Morris with the way the shooting has gone tonight?  that may be a first

Good thing Marcus got paid handsomely this summer and can afford the fine for that flop

Looking forward to the Milwaukee game to see where we're really at right now. I'm hoping we come out with more energy in that one.

Not looking forward to PHX, getting tired of playing against the NBA's worst or fringe playoff teams.

At least we made it interesting down the stretch. Too bad we didn't put up this defensive effort earlier.

10:21 of the 4th yet another example of poor Brown defense where he gets schooled by 40 year old Calderon due to overplaying him to his right. Or are we going to ignore this one, too?  ;)
And this is why I call everything you call empirical into question. Brown did what he was supposed to do on that. He guarded Calderon's strong side and tried to force him into going at the center down under and Calderon beat the switch.

Some plays aren't bad defense. Some plays are just good offense and other plays, because of the switch everything defense and trying to force driver's into help defense, it isn't the man on the ball playing bad defense.

Obvious case here so again, I call into question your claims of bad defense.

Lol omg COME ON. Your "Brown goggles" are on tight tonight.

That is CLEAR bad defense. He overplayed the strong side on a good shooter who is adept at those pull-up midrange jumpers. It was like he was (illogically) playing to deny the pass to the guy at the top of the key.

Maybe that's good defense on someone like Ben Simmons, who won't shoot anything outside of the paint, but that is p--- poor defense that gives way too much space for a savvy vet who is a good shooter off the dribble like Calderon. This Brown apologism is so ridiculous.

Yeah, it was bound to happen sometime, especially with Horford out and playing a big team like Detroit in Detroit. Not too upset about this one, as it was a SEGABABA and we clearly didn't have it from the get-go. It happens.
