This is where Brad letting them play and not calling TOs in one of those two last possessions kills us. Why not set up an ATO on that last possession when that's what you excel at??

Because that would make sense. Like it would've made sense to play Baynes more in the first half, or not give Morris so much run when he was laying bricks.

start doubling Aldrich

Shoulda tried that much, much earlier.

Too bad Kyrie lost his touch.  Ginobli OTOH has ice in his veins.

Yeah, that was the only frustrating part of the gameplan for me... no doubling even though Aldridge moves so slow.  They tried it once (at the end of this 4th quarter) and got a turnover.

Aldridge just ate up Horford tonight.
I moved the cheese.

In and out.  Heartbreak city. 

That rim this half has been tight.  Multiple shots same thing.

Oh Brad. Please have a plan how to guard a simple low post clear-out.

And no, manning up doesn't work. Hasn't worked all night.

I was wondering if we were ever going to adjust and force Aldridge to pass the ball.  Guess not and it cost us the game.

Spurs are going to be one tough team with Leonard.

Rimmed out. Bummer. We were competitive on the road against a really good team.

On to the next.

TOO MANT [dang] OUTSIDE SHOTS

KYRIE SHOULDA WENT INSIDE ON LAST JUMPER INSTEAD

NO REBOUNDING ON D END TERRIBLE

and AL HAS BEEN DESTROYED THIS GAME

CBS shoulda subbed in Theis, rather than Rozier, for defense and rebounding down the stretch. 

i was about to post this. THEIS woulda done better on boards and defensively than horford.

HORFORD WAS KILLED TONIGHT terrible. just terrible..
LET'S GO CELTICS!
