    So great to see they're not afraid of blowing 15 points leads.

    And we keep fucking Dame by sending him into a trap when we don't need to.

    Stotts. Again with the late timeout. Has no idea how to stop runs.

    No need to cover Horford at the 3 point line. Freaking double Thomas and get the ball out of his hands.

    I've never understood that.

    The paint is filled with Defense....so let's send a 6-3 PG in all by himself while everyone else stands at the 3 point line.

    Fuck that crap. And fuck Stotts for orchestrating it.

    I'm doubtful.

    Thomas elbowed the shit out of Aminu on one of those highlights. What a little bitch. Someone needs to knock him on his ass hard one of these times. Cocky little fucker knows he's being protected by the refs.

    Kenny Smith is correct, the team isn't as talented as people think and the spacing is shitty.

    I'm referring to sending a screener to set a screen 40 feet from the hoop which ends in the inevitable trap where Dame is stuck 25 feet from the nearest useful teammate and 2 seconds on the clock.

    Never understood that play. Dame doesn't even need a screen to beat a guy.

    aaahhh, okay. Thank you for clarifying. Yes, that is VERY annoying as well.

    The thing that gets my blood boiling is dribbling into the paint when there is clearly strong defense, instead of exploiting a weak 3-point Defense. That bugs the shit out of me, and Stotts has NEVER fixed it.

    No, my guess is Meyers got the nod because he had a good game vs Boston last time.
