Dame needs to be more consistent with his 3 point shooting. What saves his percentages is these supernova streaks he goes on every year for 2-3 weeks. But other than that he’s always on and off

@BonesJones your prediction that we wouldn't be able to stop the three or hold people under 125 was way off... um... errr... yikes. Yep you might have been on to something. I do think we should be able to rebound better and get our offense going more and that would make a huge difference but moral of the story is you seem to have been right.

Wish I was wrong :/
 
We need a lot of shots to drop in the second half. No question there.
 
Can't wait to get outscored by 30 in the 3rd quarter

Melo, 2 for 3 on threes, 0 for 6 and a turnover on other shots? Is he being used properly?

He's not being held accountable. Stotts let's him shoot whatever midrange shots he wants (even encourages it) and hes usually inefficient because of it. Every now and then he has a good game but most of the time this is the crap we get.
 
Our hope they cool down hitting those 3 damn 61 percent and a lot them was contested shots. Boston play very good defense and they definitely got us out of our rythem we even missing open shots. Nurk and Trent had a good 1st half.

Me too but our perimeter D just isn't good enough. It was wishful thinking that we would put a worse defender out there with Dame and CJ when they need a defensive specialist that covers for them. That doesn't mean I don't think we can make the playoffs, it just means that teams like Boston and Houston coming up are nightmares for us.
 
Well maybe if we can cut it to 12 or so this quarter we have a shot. Kemba should be in min restriction. Need to find a way to slow Tatum down. And Whiteside should not play a single second this half. Total wasteman
 
I think Dame will have a really big second half but I don't know if we can get enough stops for it to get us to a win in this one. That being said I've seen less likely comebacks before but not too often.

He looks rusty, IMO he should have played more pre season

Doubtful with Smart and Brown checking him
 
We need cut 10 to 12 points by the 4th to give us a chance. We need take the corners by staying out on them to take that option away from them. But see what adjustment Stotts comes up with. But I am not holding my breath though.

We need under 10 by the end of the 3rd

Stotts....adjustments?
