Why would IT not just take that to the basket or shoot the midrange rather than going for the three? Dumb decision.
Can you not hate on IT for just one game?

He's not above criticism, no matter how much you want him to be. He made a dumb play; there's nothing wrong with criticizing it. Everyone else gets criticized for dumb plays, why should IT not?

Stop being such a homer and saying you can't criticize your own players.

You hate on him every game thread. It's tiresome. It's beyond small criticisms.

Olynyk to the rescue

He does this a few times a season. Usually will go on s nice streak.

But I swear, every time, he gets hurt during the streak and ends up missing several games. When he gets back, it's back to hesitant Kelly.

Sixers closing out a win over the Hornets, their 5th in their last 6 games.

Toronto is up by 1 on the Nets to start the 4th.

And just like that they open up with a 8-0 run to go up 98 to 89.  Toronto hasn't been able to get stops all game.

Would like to see KO start the second half. It's obviously been effective getting both of their bigs out from the lane.

What a play call by Brad for that corner three by Crowder.

whoever created, designed, approved, the Hawks jersey MUST definitely have thought it was a good idea at the time, but at some point in the creation, production, and display of the jersey couldn't he see how hideous it looks? Call Mr. Blackwell (if he is still alive) or the fashion police.
