Our offense works as long as we force TOs. Otherwise, you have what we just saw in the 2nd quarter.

When this team goes cold, it really goes cold. Very streaky shooters, other than IT.

I think the plain fact is this was an offensive-minded team in the regular season, but their offense doesn't work nearly as well in a post-season environment.

The defense has been good in the playoffs, but they've given up so many possessions on the boards, especially in Games 1 and 2, that it didn't matter.

Looks like we're on our way to down 0-3, which means this is over in 4 or 5.


This stinks.

So we outplayed them in the first, and they outplayed us in the second.  That's NBA basketball.  Nothing to do with heart.

Good Lord, Brad, are you incapable of creating any offense outside of the three point shot?? Crowder just bricks two wide open threes, and you come out after a timeout with a three for him.

Ridiculous. Brad getting exposed this series.

Brad is a 5 foot something not very athletic white guy not on the active roster. So no, he can't create any offense - that's up to the players on the court. And the only guy out there capable of creating his own offense is getting smothered.

What should he do, give Rozier the keys to drive more? No way that could end poorly
I'm bitter.

@jpotter33

I have some doubts (esp. per length and athleticism) but I appreciate the answer.

Man Carmelo's offense would have been welcomed on this team.

Playing 10 guys in the first half is ridiculous. College stuff.

Need offense- Brown, JJ, Zeller even Young can all hit 12 foot jumper.

Crowder plays a position that is traditionally a scoring position, therefore he bears the burden a  poor shooting team

This roster is hot garbage.
