You can't play smart and crowder together,Play Rozier!

They are killing us with their crap shooting. They can't do anything on the offensive end.

Rosier has been getting into the lane all series, and hitting clutch shots late in a few of the games.

We need more scoring, and I think Rosier has the speed to stay with wall, while allowing IT to play off the ball and conserve some energy.

The KO, Smart,Jae line up for half of the 4th quarter killed us ughhhhh

We really need horford. We are lost on O on the road without him.

Um, we were ahead 5 with a little over a minute left.  How did that lineup kill us?

At the start of the fourth. Instead of pulling away Was got back in.

Jaylen had better beat Crowder out next year.   That guy just kills me.   Never encourages his teammates.  His 3pt shot had gone missing.   And in my view , his D is a step slow compared to last season.

He's the weak link right now.

Yes for the game they were 5-16 from the field total and 1-7 from 3 .

They are killing us, Rosier needs to play more than 11 mins. Did you see that filthy euro step he had to get the the basket? We need his speed and scoring on the floor for 20-25, mins in game 7

[rondohondo]

I can't take the kind of mins Brad is giving these two especially when they are struggling so much offensively.

37 mins for Jae and 28 for smart. Unless they are playing lights out in game 7, Jae mins should be around 25 and Smart around 20. That's 20 additional mins for Jaylen and/or Rozier.

Couldn't believe Jae was guarding Wall so much when the bench came in. Wall was blowing by with ease.

Like I said rozier has the foot speed to stay in front of Wall.

Anyways, I am pretty much done with both, trade one or both for a center this off season.

I was so upset that didn't go in haha. I was like "THOSE MOVES ARE WHY YOU WERE 16TH!" and then oh boy he missed a bunny.

I am loathed to criticize a player based upon a few games. But having said that,crowder has been disappointing in the playoffs. Is he hurt somehow?

His shooting has abandoned him. His defense is erratic.

Why the sudden change in his play? i wish I knew.

[feckless]

Crowder's shooting on the road has been awful-- Jaylen is a phenom but is still learning--

Smart is a liability on offense and a turn over machine--  he can't beat his man off the dribble, he can't shoot other than an occasional 3--and he forces passes too often--  he is a work in slow progress on offense

Rozier is a year away--  with development/time he will have control of his speed to finish the drives and shoot J's more consistently, he improves and has a great upside but he is not there yet--

tough choices for Brad.

With both teams winning at home  --indicates to me a very even match-up-- both players and coaches.  Hopefully that stays true through game 7--that is after all why we wanted/earned the record for home court advantage.

[Rosco917]

I agree that Rozier should have received additional minutes.

I'm off topic here, but why no Gerald Green? Especially in a game that we got a total of 5 points from the bench, we could have used some offensive energy.
