Two point Game!

The fact that they can still potentially win this game is baffling lol...

[jpotter33]

why can't we get Horford more than 5 shots?

Because Smart is jacking all of them up.

Eh, Smart is for sure having an absolutely terrible game, but the Horford issue has been all season long. He's just not aggressive enough, and Brad needs to really try and force him to be more aggressive.

I don't know whether to get p---ed or just dismiss this Smart injury because he flops so much. I'm sure refs feel the same way

Well seeing as well after the whistle is blown he is writhing around clutching his head, Id say both those responses would make you a bit of an Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline..

What happened to our def from last year?  We were supposed to be even better this year.  We are letting average teams light us up on a nightly basis.  Wth is wrong?

Look at that? After the commercial break it's almost as if nothing happened??

I wouldn't draw conclusions from tonight. This is the most impressive team-wide mid-range shooting display I've ever seen.

It is more obvious to me watching the box score that when I watch the game, but yes you are right.  We need to get Horford more involved.  He makes excellent decisions with the ball in his hands.  He needs to be a bigger part of the offense.  We didn't pay him the big bucks to get 5 shots a game...

Drummond got tossed last night for an elbow that was not near as bad as that!

The defensive energy just isn't there like it was last year. We feel entitled and like we don't have to play as hard.

Granted, some of it is also our increased offensive efficiency. Look at GS last year. They had an excellent defense, but they regularly gave up a ton of points. Sometimes decreased defensive efficiency and more points allowed comes with an uptick in offensive efficiency.

I hope so, but when have we really played a great def game this year?  I guess I need to go back to look at our schedule and find out...
