oh COME ON Rozier
why are you posing with Wade after we got clocked by the Heat?
I don't really get that.

Its part of Wade's retirement tour...every game he swaps it with someone from the other team.

ok fair enough.  my bad.  the optics are just bad with Terry smiling away with Wade right after they punched us in the mouth, but if it was set up before hand what can you do.

Miami shot the lights out from deep.  That is what it is.  I try not to overreact to a career 29% three point shooter like Wade getting hot.

The thing that I don't like about tonight, though, is that we're consistently getting outhustled against teams that play hard in the paint.  We got crushed on points in the paint and on the glass.  Horford was awful tonight. 

The effort and, perhaps, conditioning have to improve.  I feel like Irving, Smart, and Morris usually play hard whenever they're out there, but everybody else comes and goes in the effort department.  We're halfway into the season now.  That can't continue to be a problem.

On to the next one.

I cannot wait till the day Horford is replaced. Ugh

I guess Horford is the whipping boy now  ::) Some "fans" we have here.

Horford isn't 100%, and playing on a second night of a back-to-back. Teams and players do fall flat on these kind of games. This is why we blew out the Pacers by that much the other night.

Yet 0 minutes in the first half, even though both Al and Theis were awful.

We do tend to overreact both to wins and losses  ;D
I figured it would be Jaylen, Gordon and Al to collectively play the piñata role tonight. From heros to zeros in one night!  :angel:

Agree 100%.  I have to admit I am a bit worried about Al's knee.  If he is struggling physically, then by all means hold him out of back to backs.  Al played really well in the beatdown against the Pacers last night.  He is really important to this team, if he needs to sit on back to backs until the playoffs please sit him.

Latest in a long list of hints we've been hearing this season that Jaylen Brown isn't totally fitting in with this group.   Bummer.

Can't remember what timeout that was but that doesn't look good does it.

I think many people that have played sports at any level have pushed a teammate at some point. I doubt there are lingering sentiments in a week, but who knows really...

In any case, I kinda liked watching that. Shows that they're frustrated losing. Shouldn't we be more concerned if they were smiling and high-fiving?

Also, kind of curious.... what are the other hints?

Hard to know what really went on there.  Morris looked pretty woozy after he pushed Brown.  But the push didn't really seem that extreme, teammates sometimes get each others faces, sometimes it helps.  I would be more concerned that Smart was actively actively holding Jaylen back.   Hmm.

So Stevens saw how bad the C's were inside in the first half, made an adjustment by putting in Williams, and the solution worked...but you are still critical that.....what?.....Stevens didn't notice sooner?
