now they have wake up, pull their heads out of their collective butts, and be aggressive. and passing better would be nice too.

I'm going out on a limb here but Bey>Nesmith

How will we know brad doesn’t play him.  Your freaking team is exhausted from the day before and you run em back.  He’s clueless

Nesmith does need to get on the court. Having two lotto picks that you don't or can't play seems like a colossal failure.

[Goldstar88]

Need Pritchard to get going in the second half. No baskets in the first.

[Alec14]

PP's defense is terrific. Even when he doesn't score, he's a massive plus on the court. That last possession he absolutely shut down the Detroit player without fouling, resulting in a very low quality attempt and a stop.

The way he picks up his player in the back court and harries them has a ripple effect for the rest of the defense. So much dead wood on this roster but PP can be our PG of the future. He fits the timeline and is exactly what we need from that position with our elite wings.

I hope Yam joins him next year. Yam is a pest.

Nesmith should be in Orlando right now playing in the G-League. His development is going to be stunted with so many games(in which he’s not playing) and so few practices.

Saddiq Bey, man. 

[Atzar]

Saddiq Bey, man.

It's frustrating.  Dude has had four good games all year and two of them have been against us. 

Judging by comments in this thread, I feel like a lot of fans think he always looks like this.  He doesn't.  He has been okay this season, but nothing special.  He just specifically shows up against the Celtics for some reason.

This tema needs to play its [dang] players. This load management Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. has plagued them for years. Through out the analytics and get on the court.

They are soft.

What happened to the ball movement? Complete 180 from yesterday...Yeesh

Frustrating really. Detroit seems to match up with us really well though.

Yeah, it's frustrating.  I would have hoped that yesterday would be a light bulb moment for our guys.  Guess not. 

Brown, in particular, has apparently decided that he reached his passing quota for the week.  He's not seeing guys like he did against Toronto. 

[jpotter33]

Ugh, now Semi. Hopefully just a cramp.

And Tatum. Pritchard needs to handle the ball more. Make some plays for teammates.

[Alec14]

Should have called a timeout 3 minutes ago. Brown is out of control, trying to do everything because no one else can do anything.
