Jaylen! Nice run

I think Scal and Grande are making a lot of good points about Trae Young.

I did laugh when Scal said, "I wonder how his teammates react when Young probably goes into a huddle and says, 'lets play better defense'" even though Young is a huge defensive liability himself 

Also, I know he's a superstar, but I'm not sure why Young feels the need to take these very long 3s (sometimes at logo length). I feel the same with Lillard too tbh. If you miss it you lose some momentum but also screw your team on defense in transition typically. That's now twice today ATL got the ball with a chance to cut the lead to less than 5, and Young took a long 3 that wasn't close early in the clock

What's up with Smart?

[Indocelts]

Tatum is 5-8 shooting 2s and 3-10 shooting 3s
Brown is 6-8 shooting 2s and 1-5 shooting 3s
Keep jacking up 3s guys.

Atlanta or Washington should be our desired first round matchups, with Miami, Chicago, and Toronto being in the second grouping. I think we'll beat any of them, but the first two are likely quick series with not much resistance.

[SCeltic34]

Great ball movement.

THE BUFFALO

[Silas]

Grant who?

[Mahk E Mahk]

d.white is so good at letting the game come to him and not forcing anything. several c’s could learn a lot from him.

[jpotter33]

Still no GWill.

Definitely more than a matchup issue. I think Hauser has just beat him out of the rotation.

[Silas]

Jinxed Sam.

Yeah the 1 seed likely plays ATL or WAS. That'd be an easy matchup

2 seed though likely plays MIA or BKN which is not ideal...

Definitely more than a matchup issue. I think Hauser has just beat him out of the rotation.

if joe is simply sending a strong message to grant prior to the playoffs, in order to get his head and game back in a good place, i would respect that.

frankly, joe should exercise the same discipline with the star players.

[jpotter33]

Awfully small lineup out there with Griffin and Hauser as the "bigs". Starting to hemorrhage boards.
