Rob doesn’t have his pre-injury lift. Sims went right over him for that put back.

It was Larry Bird who said that once they cut you, you are never quite the same again.

C’s need another guy for the playoff rotation. Hauser and Pritchard aren’t consistent enough scorers to be trusted in the playoffs. I can already hear the crying about depth and being too tired.

Look what happens when you diversify the offense and don't just chuck threes continuously.

[jpotter33]

I know many don't like it, but I think Randle would be such an awesome fit at the 4 for us.

When he was supposedly on the trade market last year, I was hoping we could get him for a reasonable price. Probably out of our price range now with a likely All Star bid.

no stats to back this up but transition d looks much worse this year vs. last. seems to be a hustle issue rather than scheme.

It's either coaching or lack of focus.  team launches a 3 for a miss and long rebound.  instead of a defender being designated as the 'safety' to guard against the other team getting out for a fastbreak basket, the C's players are all standing around until the other team grabs the rebound and starts their fast break.

When Thibs was here, he preached a full retreat (at least by the guards) once the shot went up to eliminate any fast breaks by the other team.  the lack of offensive rebounds was frustrating at the time but we didn't give up fast breaks like we do currently

good points. i typically see one guard back but not two, and our wings don’t show much hustle in getting back consistently.

Pass
the
ball.

[Atzar]

How many bunnies have we missed tonight?  I feel like we could easily be sitting on 90+ points on another night with the same shot profile.  Just bricking easy ones.

[Silas]

Cs can't  make a shot.  Maybe time for timeout.

[SCeltic34]

Awful play by Brown and Brogdon.  Just selfish, garbage ass basketball.  Move the ball.

[jpotter33]

Good Lord, Brown. You're 5-17. You'd think that you would try some easier buckets.

For as smart as you are off the court, you have just an awful BBIQ and shot selection IQ.

Randle obliterating the Cs. Cs look lifeless. Disappointing effort tonight.

maybe i’m being too optimistic or biased but i “feel” like hauser could be that guy with some development by the coaching staff. he’s got the length, he’s a decent defender, and his shot mechanics and quick release are outstanding.

Pass
the
ball.

Even Brogdon has started to do some ISO.

Randle has been a monster all year. Our defense has to step up.

Knicks missing Robinson and Fournier but still about to put up 130+ probably
