Our bigs are getting absolutely killed on the 3's.  Just can't close out in time.

Man, our three point defense is just atrocious.

Joe should order White and Hauser to take the bulk of the 3pt shots, and the Jays to take max 4 shots per game. 
And no more dribbling and stepback threes for the Jays.

The 3-point shooting in this game is unreal.

I'm surprised Fox missed that last shot!

Every three point record is going to get shattered tonight.

On one hand, this being a three point game with us hitting 8/12 threes is concerning.

On the other hand, us being down just three when they hit 11 (!) threes in the first quarter is a win for us.

Cognitive dissonance.

Wild 1st, both teams shooting lights out.  Neither team playing D.

21 of the Kings 30 shots were 3-pointers.  I just don't care for the modern NBA.  Only reason I watch is because I can't quit Celtics basketball.

kings hit 11 3s in the 1st and we had 6 TOs to 0 TOs for Sac.
We would be winning this game if we could take care of the ball.

Always suspected Pritchard would become an asset if he were given regular minutes.
Grant Williams would have remained a solid contributor if Joe had not frozen him on the bench.
This team could use Grant Williams -we are going to have to pay someone and give up assets to fill that void anyway.
