Ugh.  The perimeter D has not been the best in this game.

What do you expect? It's IT and Turner and the shell of Crowder.

[mahonedog88]

It was an 18pt lead literally like 90 seconds ago.  It's amazing how fast this team can let big leads disappear.

I love the guy, but it feels like Crowder is becoming more of a detriment this team in this series than helpful.  His lack of an ability to make ANYTHING right now is killing this team.

[Frezz]

They deserve to lose. We're a terrible three point shooting team and they decide it's a good idea to start chucking threes. Brilliant.

[PhoSita]

Crowder is basically Smart on offense.

which is to say, Smart is basically Crowder with a high ankle sprain on offense.   

[CelticSooner]

12-0 run right after building the lead back up smh

[SparzWizard]

Crowder is basically Smart on offense. Maybe worse.

Which is why I won't mind including him in a package for Butler.

Well, Smart still defends. Crowder can't even hardly do that very well now.

[Neurotic Guy]

Come out and go up by 19 and in a blink back to 7.

C's need to keep it up offensively without the talent to do so.  They are going to have to gut this out.  Stop this bleeding now.

True, I'm just making a joke about Smart's offense. 

[jpotter33]

There comes a point when you just have to tell Crowder to stop shooting jumpers. I think it's about now.

It's the ankle, he's nowhere near 100%

We saw a much different offensive player all year

[PhoSita]

This game is reminding me of the older Garnett teams.  Build up leads but you never felt like they were safe because it was built on hot outside shooting and there was no inside game.

Yeah, I know. Just shows how bad of a hand that we got going into the playoffs with injuries and bad playing streaks.

[jpotter33]

There you go, Smart. Bring a spark to this team.

[mahonedog88]

As of right this moment, Jae Crowder is shooting 7-33 in this series...barely 21% from the field.
