[fishonjazz]

I know why they don’t do it but it’s annoying when they don’t let the half court shot fly at the end of the quarter. AB was a champ and always put it up… @fishonjazz will testify.

AB aint been scared since the 3rd grade

(I think it was the third grade but can’t remember for sure)

Here's the thing, both Colin Sexton and Kris Dunn are considered non-shooters. Maybe they'll shoot an occasional 3 off the catch if they're open, but they're not going to draw defenders.

You can add tht to that list

Two worst things last night were that never ending zone defense and the refs.

That offense is hard to watch. Even if we were making our shots it would have been ugly, and that was against one of the worst defenses in the NBA. I blame Ainge not Hardy.

Our most competent looking lineup was George, Clarkson, Agbaji, Collins, Lauri. It will be interesting to see if we get that lineup more going forward.

 

[fishonjazz]

I feel like the spacing is not great to begin with, but we're not exactly getting explosive drives to begin with. Our guards don't have the threat of shooting off the dribble. That combined with next to no off ball movement makes us so predictable. The defense was straight up terrible tonight though. Even Kessler got his **** pushed in by McGee.

Holy **** mcgee looked awesome tonight. Thats how you know it just wasnt our night. Kings couldnt miss and we couldnt make. I didnt learn a lot from last night. It was 1 bad game. On to the next one.

Shouldn't Hardy's seat be getting a little warm after a game like this?

Lol. Its one game. Popovich and sloan and phil jackson all had games like this.
The overreactions to one game have not let me down.

Was surprised to see Dunn as primary scoring option on that lineup too

Hardy said as prolly surprised too.

This is what having a hunger games like competition does… guys kinda playing for themselves.

"Don't like" isn't a strong enough statement for me. I abhor the all guard lineup.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Keyonte kinda had the perfect “play me more” type of mindset this game. Was selective and effective when he attacked. Had a couple glaring defensive miscues but seems like he tries on that side of the ball. Played well within himself.

Ya hardy needs to tighten things up. Cant give everyone equal minutes and equal opportunities if we want to win. Gotta make some people unhappy sometimes. Ainge needs to make some decisions for him I guess.

I'd say Ainge has already done many decisions for him. And not in a good way.

People are surprised to see Kris Dunn try to dribble his way into the interior to score on flip and push shots like he's the #1 option?

Huh?

That's what he does. That's who he is. And that's one of the reasons he was out of the league when we picked him up.

I hate saying this, but this team desperately needs someone like Mike Conley

 

[hgb]

Watching the garbage time, Sensabough looked more lost of defense than I've ever see an NBA player be. I don't think he was in anything like a proper defensive position at any point.

Also, while I don't miss Vando because he was so incredibly limited offensively, at least that was one guy in the starting lineup who had a passing mindset. Right now there's nobody.

 

[slc]

Did Hardy do a post-game interview and what did he say?

 

[fishonjazz]

Ya it was pretty messed for ainge to get rid of Rudy Gay.
