What was that

[SCeltic34]

There's just no excuse for that.  Kornet had a good game, but his bad defense cost us the game.

[Celtic Fan Forever]

Luke Kornet should never ever be on the court for the last defensive possession. Just awful coaching. Got beat by Sengun the previous play then had no idea what to do on the switch the last play.

[kraidstar]

Lol glad I'm not watching this slop.

[jpotter33]

I hate this team. What an absolute awful way to lose that game becuase JB and Kornet are idiots and try to switch at the last second.

[mobilija]

Just lost on the last two defensive possessions. Kinda both bc if Kornet

[SparzWizard]

Again, lose at home. Atrocious defense. Another unacceptable L.

[radiohead]

Ime outcoached Joe this time. Brilliant end game plays.

[celticinorlando]

Another 4th quarter choke.

Why is the world was Kornet on the floor the last 2 defensive possessions...

And thanks Brown for playing hero ball late and not defending anyone.

[SCeltic34]

Luke Kornet should never ever be on the court for the last defensive possession. Just awful coaching. Got beat by Sengun the previous play then had no idea what to do on the switch the last play.

Agreed.  Massive coaching fail.  He had the opportunity to get KP back in the game after the intentional foul. 

[Indocelts]

Brown with another brain fart. And he went to Cal?

[smicker16]

That very likely seems like another mistake from JB not knowing what to do on defense. Seems like the plan was Kornet to take the foul since JB has 4 fouls. Then switch JB onto Thompson so they run the pick and roll without Kornet in the action. JB hesitated which led to them both being out of position. I do prefer Kornet over KP in that situation but just terrible execution and JB just loses focus so often. My favorite player but he kills me sometimes.

[Neurotic Guy]

Didn?t look good all game (though a good game) until Cs suddenly go up 11. And then crash - lose the lead, and the game.  Bad loss and would have been a really nice win.  Poor home fans witnessing loss after loss.  No win streak. 

[celticinorlando]

This is just rotates wins and losses. I really hate everything about them. Just get bounced early in the playoffs so I don't have to waste my time watching this crap.

[jpotter33]

Such a frustrating loss.

Joe insisting on awful double big lineups all night that make absolutely no sense, including keeping Kornet in to seal the loss for us on two bad defensive miscues in a row.

JB trying to outshine Brooks and selling this game in the second half, then gets punked by Thompson who can't even shoot beyond the free throw line.

Kornet makes two dumb defensive decisions in a row to cost us the game. He literally shouldn't have even been out there on either possession. Joe's fascination with him kills me.
