C's are just standing around on offense, Where's the movement we had before JT came back?
the offense has looked a lot more like the iso, 3-heavy, JT-focussed offense we had pre-injury.  not digging it

JT-focused? He?s barely touched the ball lol At the half it was 4 shots for JT compared to 13 for JB, who is the one that is almost exclusively iso?ing all his offense lol

If anything it needs to be more JT-focused to be less iso.

he's touched the ball quite a bit when the offense went stagnant.  the passing wasn't flowing like it had prior to his return. 

he's better this half.

He's made some good passes, shots not falling.

What we're seeing is the return of "team is missing guys so we don't have to play smart" the last 2 games.

Joe is really dragging his feet adjusting to the non-jays lineup not working. No justification letting it go this long.

Classic Joe brain fart letting them get momentum due to a failure to make the adjustment.

Gonna be a bad loss without Ant, and with OKC up next

Looks like 3 seed will be our fate while NY leapfrogs us

just absolutely clueless out there this quarter.  with the exception of a few limited stretches, team has been lacking mental focus tonight.  shooting like crap doesn't help either

With Ant out and our schedule the rest of the way, this felt like an important one to be able to hold onto the 2 seed. Lets see if we can pull it off.

Not defending it but I wonder if he's seeing how they do in prep for playoffs.
