Foul foul and foul . Let's keep fouling

Splash. Rivers is getting that shot off more on balance and much, much quicker.

He's good enough at the three that I am happier with him taking a set shot from there than an open layup.

Basketball 101, never give up the baseline as a defender.
{Chief Aminu = very low basketball IQ}

Should of know it would be a blow out once Monty started Steamer rotation started bad earlier

[Eman5805]

This lineup. I mean, just scerw all pretense of spacing...

[Kibner]

Because clearly playing someone else for those first few minutes would have solved all our rebounding, defensive, turnover, free-throw, layup, and open-shot issues for the rest of the game.

Come on man....smh

with a starting line up with on one shooter is destined for failure while pierce could hide on steam. You don't try to match up against them you creat a mismatch and have them run. They are a old team and would get worn out.

Eurosteppin' like an S...er...Scotsman!

Can't be worse than Roberts. I refuse to believe that . Just my opinion though sir

They have mismatches across the board no matter what lineup we play. The only players we have better than their top 7 or so is AD and Evans.

[al m337]

Everything is a foul. Looking at Paul pierce is a foul I forgot

[carpo]

Been at work (drinking) so just starting watching now on league Pass. I like how we started the all-NBA shooting team. Having Evans, Stiemsma and Aminu out there is great

[kclaboy504]

God tyrekes shot is so broke.

[504ByrdGang]

So you create mismatches they play big then you go small don't let other team dictate games and that is what Monty does.

[SilkySlim]

Another thing wrong with this coaching staff. Give up 58 points and all the assistant coach talks about is not finishing momentum plays and the offensive end.

Yo coach, might want to take a look at the other end of the floor w/ BK being on pace for 116. NBA coaches cant really be this dumb can they? I guess they can.

[Kibner]

So you create mismatches they play big then you go small don't let other team dictate games and that is what Monty does.

We literally can't create a mismatch that won't hurt us worse. They are always big. And still quick enough to keep up with our players.

[Kibner]

Like, the only guys we have that are quick enough to get into the paint can't shoot. And our shooters are slow enough for their guys to smother and abuse.

Obviously not, but doesnt make the steamer move any less retardo

[Kibner]

Never said it wasn't. But it wouldn't have made a difference. They scored just as easily when we tried to spread them out and were still able to guard us effectively. That unit we had that made a run to close the half? Same lineup that started the game.

[MichaelMcNamara]

Where do I go to take back everything nice I ever said about Monty? Is there a wait?

[WhoDatPelican]

[FlyGirl]

Pelicans are an above-average team from foul line (11th in NBA at 77.2%) but getting hurt tonight by misses at 7-for-13

If you manage to get to the line, please knock em down.

[carpo]

I may hate Ken Mauer more than I do Ronnie Garretson or Joey
