And this is where we missed IT. His iso scoring, especially at the end of the game, is highly needed with our personnel.

No we missed IT's all-around affect on the game. Stop painting him out as some selfish stat driven player. He want's to win just as much or more than Smart. He just puts up the numbers and Ws to prove it

You are literally insufferable. Who the hell said anything about Smart?

Do me a favor - just block my posts. Then you won't have to try and respond to every single post I make that you disagree with trying to prove me wrong. It's just like the other night with your crazy claims about Smart being owned by Parker that you just kept insisting on that did not bear out in reality.

You literally provided no evidence of Smart playing good defense throughout an entire game on Tony Parker so there's that.

Dude ever since we lost that game in Houston you've been a constant start Smart because he's a better defender and will make our team better. He also keeps the ball moving better than IT.

You've been saying that the entire time.

So by saying that oh we missed IT only because of his iso scoring offense is just another snide way to take a shot at IT.

I'm just sick of this selfish narrative you continue to spew out about IT which is clearly not true.

Allowed only 39 points in the 2nd half.  I'll gladly take it

On 27% shooting no less. If we can solve the rebounding problem we could look reeeeeally good

We are still yet to put together a full game with our defense from last year, but we're definitely improving in that regard.

It's a shame there's no team in the East good enough to beat Cleveland.

Marcus and Avery 7 rebs each  8)

How many for that stud KO

He only pulled down 3, but his phallus was probable responsible for a few too.

We finally won a game and looked good for more than a quarter.  :)

If Brown manages to pass Rozier on the depth chart we just might (not only is he a better defender than Rozier, but there would be much less small ball)
I'm bitter.

he said we missed IT's offense in the 4th. And we definitely did



He is iso-centric


Being iso-centric has nothing to do with his drive to win (which is high)

I like the way you think .....more Brown is a good thing

I feel like fletch watching IT in the post game interview right now.  That's how basketball should be enjoyed. This team is going to get back to their glory days.

I wish we could get rid of the some of the annoying rhetoric in the  media though.  It takes away from the enjoyment.

His game is iso-centric, but he creates plays for other people too and this was just as important as iso scoring. It was clear IT's ability to work the PNR and PNP/ get into the paint opened up shots for his other teammates and he made timely passes to open players to make this offense run. That is why we can win with him and struggle without him.

IT played a real nice game, starting or coming off the bench without him we have no steady answers on offense.

We give up WAY to many offensive rebounds. DA needs to address this nagging problem.
