We struggled to beat a lottery team and there were at least 3 players killing us that I have never heard of. Is this how it's going to be? Will we be in a battle until the end against Atlanta? Something is wrong.
When your on the road on the second night of a back to back, stuff like this happens. The important thing is that you win the game.
That is just excuses. There is no way that game should have been close based on the talent for each team. Also after losing a tough game last night to Toronto this should have been a blowout. What did Kyrie have like 10 points until the last few possessions? His shooting was off.
That's not excuses, its real life. Guys get tired, this isn't fantasy basketball or a video game, its real life. Guys get physically and mentally tired, and these guys don't even have their rhythm yet this early in the season.
Plus, Hayward was sitting, and we lost Baynes early on. I like this win. Its these type of wins that build character and where you find out what type of guys you really have on this team.
