What is Smart on tonight? He's just throwing up shots and has sucked the life out of our offense.

We are still close and shooting 30%. Time to get hot.

Wow we held the Warriors to 88 points.

This team sent a statement to the league tonight.

Yeah, but the defense is for real. We really do make every team we play incredibly uncomfortable. Our length, energy, and discipline is really impressive - especially for such a young team.

Please Hayward - try to come back this year. We really do have a chance!

Morris needs to be the 6th man every game.  Theis should start when they want to go small.  They need offense off the bench and don't need it with the starters.

The offense borderline stinks, but the defense has been championship level.

It's going to be a grind in the playoffs if that doesn't improve. The bench is killing us most of all.

I can handle Smart when we win, but boy it’s tough to watch him sometimes. That possession at the end of the game tonight...yeesh

Horfords 3 had a bad night. It was an off night for a lot of our players on offense. It doesn't happen often

We have a brand new team with a lot of youth.  We could not have expected anything close to this. It's awesome.

But at least it's been consistent. Being 25th in FG% in the league must hurt tho.

Having a second scorer (like Hayward) would make a huge difference.

What was Piston's offensive rating back in 2004?

I would guess that if you look at their offensive rating late in the season and playoffs (after acquiring Sheed from the Hawks) it’s better than their year average.

Bench ended the night with 2 field goals. Not that the starters were lighting it up, but I get nervous every time the bench gets subbed in because it's almost a guaranteed run for the other team.

They keep Morris out there with the bench in order to keep things tempered, but the ball movement stops, and Morris is just gonna ISO pull up. The C's have no answers on the bench.

Yup

I like Baynes in the starting line-up, though he does seem to get in foul trouble quickly as a starter.
Yup
