When Cedi is bad, he kills the team... 1-8. Sheesh. And Dotson is lost.

I'm not sure why I want to win this game so bad. Probably because I want our young guys to have the week off feeling good about themselves and growing

But this coaching is making me nauseous and its really just concerning more from a macro of: if JBB can't make a simple in-game adjustment like this, our players will all have a developmental ceiling much lower than they should because the game is being made harder for them without coaching on offense each night.

Bad habits can develop from shit like this for young guys

Damn @Comeback kid was getting flamed for his defense of Wade. Come to find out he was right.

LOL.

Wade got high IQ.

 

[red.]

I’ve always been able to communicate what offense I want with my voice.

Damn. We need to send your resume to the Cavs. I have more faith in you than JBB.

 

[Rich]

McConnell has been the best guard on the court by a country mile tonight.

They're gonna need Wade/Osman/Okoro to make some open 3s now to win the game. Sexton isn't gonna score on McConnell.

Done it for 40+ years. Retired and tired.

Without Garland, we’re down to one legit ball handler. Gonna be tough

 

[red.]

Nice dunk by Okoro.

You think they would have addressed this the last time Garland went down. One PG on this team has not worked.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

17-point lead. Flushed down the toilet in minutes. I blame JBB for his insane rotations and unwillingness to stop the momentum. Dude's a mental midget.

That's going to be the narrative, and I am a fan of Garland...

But that wont be the reason. This is coaching. Pacers are playing with their ears pinned back... JUST like the Knicks when they beat us by 30. Pacers made an adjustment halfway through the 1st to take away our high pick and roll and we havent adjusted once to their pressure.

They called off the pressure to start the 3rd, and as soon as McConnell came back in, they turned it back on

It's really not Garland at all, honestly.

 

[Soar]

Losing this game is really gonna piss me off.

But good for the tank I guess.

 

[Alec]

Hell of a contest by Wade. He saw that coming a mile away

 

[benchplayer]

WADE WITH THE D!

 

[Alec]

I almost feel bad we have Wade under contract this cheap for four years. He just stuffed a guard who tried to take him off the dribble to the paint!
