Everyone said it was a 7-game series.  It's still on track for that.

That's all I got.

Rozier was okay in major minutes in a playoff game, I guess.

I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

They have to win on scrap and hustle from here on out because they aren't going to suddenly become a good shooting team. Maybe the home crowd can get them going. They better not come out and lay down I tell you that.

They're not going to spot Atlanta a 16 to 21 point first half lead again. They cannot possibly shoot worse. Stevens has a few days to make more adjustments. Three of the next four games are at home.

Stevens won't shoot his own team in the foot (we hope) from now on.

It's going to be hard for them to score. They don't have shooters any longer. Like are Hunter, an unhealthy Crowder, Rozier, Smart, Sullinger, etc going to start magically making threes and spacing the floor? I'm going to say probably not. Smart will need to play like an all star and so will IT. I suppose that can happen but I'm going to bet against it.

Smart made one of his eleven shots.

Nets pick is quite a silver lining.

Of course we were going to get that all along regardless of what the team did this season.

If this series continues as it has started, hopefully it motivates Danny to make significant changes to the cast of players around Thomas, Crowder, and Bradley.

Even if the chance to majorly upgrade via trade or free agency doesn't materialize, I'd like to see some attempt at addressing the structural issues with the roster by bringing in some new faces.  Ideally players who are bigger, more athletic, or who can actually shoot.

I think the Celtics can steal a game if Smart takes zero shots..

Oh please. Who do those shots go to? Crowder? Isaiah? Sully? Just stop. No one was making shots today. Or Game 1

TP. This is exactly how I feel going into next summer. Just too many guys and some turnover is really needed. Not stepping up like they should be.

You say that like Smart usually makes some, when he rarely does. He's the worst offensive player on the team. Ex Lax has more moves.

Crowders shots were fine.. he took high percentage looks and just missed ... Smart drives to the lane and throws it in the **** stands or takes a three where he has a career 20% average from..
