The thing that irks me is the bench may not be as talented as the starters but they play great they always cut down leads, they hustle they play defense and time and time again Casey puts back in the starters and they give nothing.

How many more times will.jonas miss a little bunny

How many more times will Ibaka shoot a 20 foot clank

How many more times will derozan and Lowry leave their man wide open on d


When you backup pg has the most heart on your team that's telling you something

I hope they lose so they can fire the coach and trade Lowry and Derozan. Let the young guys develop, tank and trust the process.
:damn: Yall already throwing in the towel? I still think they make the ECF if they keep the 1st seed. If you avoid the Cavs, there's still hope.

can't beat the best teams on the road except Houston this year hence they really need that #1 seed and home court advantage. They can't even beat a Boston team with no Kyrie

But they did crush the Celtics WITH Kyrie...Team is just not playing well right now....Hard to understand how out of nowhere the defense just dropped and suddenly they stopped playing with intensity...

trending down and trending up is what happens in a regular season

the situation now, is the same situation during your 10 game win streak (in regards to playoffs)
ya'll were overeacting to wins, and now yall overeacting to the losses

the issue was, and still is, whether derozen and lowry will step their game up come playoff time. or atleast play on the same level. they havent done that in the previous 4-5 years
the other issue is whether your young ass bench who been overachieving all year, can keep it up during the playoffs
i personally wouldn't trust either of those factors based on history, but things can change and you guys do have homecourt throughout the playoffs which is huge
