The refs tried to give back some free throws but we messed that up.

Anybody else missing IT this half?

I thought we had all agreed that the team is infinitely better without him?

Nope. His individual offense is helpful at times, but his presence would only exacerbate the lack of ball movement we have right now, which is no coincidence that's when our offense went downhill.

Or he'd take it to the rim, which we desperately need someone to do, and not settle for crappy mid-range jumpers.

True. But how many more points would he also give up defensively to Lowry and Derozan? Rozier is already bad on him. He'd have a field day with IT.

This isn't a game where having IT would help, because his defensive deficiencies would've hurt us as much as he helped us offensively.. We're simply not making shots this half, along with stopping the ball movement in the second half of that quarter, which makes things even worse.

The ref telling Ross, "Don't worry, Smart sucks at the the FT line."

Lowry hits all 3 FT. Smart goes 1/3.

That perfectly describes the 3rd quarter

Man this team is INFINITELY better without Isaiah Thomas. That 3rd quarter offense was exceptional.

Third quarter sucks.
Toronto showing their talent level - which is better than ours.

True, but if they were missing Lowry or Derozan and we had IT (I know, the trade threads - whatev), then it might be a different story.

Zeller is a traffic guard and the paint is his crosswalk.
