Both.

It's not both. It's the defense

We are down 2-0 if Luka plays. This team ain’t winning any championship.

Does our defense suck that bad or are they just on fire?

Not enough defense on this roster. Teams get anything they want. Quite the difference from most playoff teams. Most ramp up the defense and games slide into tough slugfests.

Giftwrapped series and we're still ****ing it up.

How anyone in the FO gets to keep their jobs with perimeter D being an obvious need the last three deadlines and offseasons is beyond me. If I was that ****ing bad at my job I woulda been canned years ago. Our teambuilding philosophy makes for a garbage playoff defensive roster. Time to try a different philosophy.

We don't win by 15 + next game. **** this team

When you leave NBA caliber 3 pt shooters wide open all game, it's not an outlier when they go crazy.

This happens every postseason.

 

[Jingled]

I’m shocked. I really thought we’d win both of these games without Luka.

He was wide open.

It just seems like we're a step behind on every defensive rotation.

 

[zman1527]

Our big problem is our 4 scorers are too small and unathletic. They can be bullied and cannot play tough defense. One guy like that is okay but not 4.

Our defense against small ball sucks that bad.

Yeah and the worst part is we've known it for THREE YEARS!! And did ****-all to address it for THREE YEARS!! No one should be surprised yet another guard lit us up for a career high.

Meh.

I figured this group would blow it, but it's still frustrating.

I keep thinking a switch is going to be flipped. Stupid me

Poor Rudy has no chance. Hope he just hugs the perimeter and makes the rest accountable. We'd probably lose by 30 but make the FO change something next year

After watching this crap, I'm gonna go watch Groundhog Day to get my mind off of this...

Yeah, then we did some goofy **** trying to double team the driver instead of just rotating on defense correctly to the corner.
