    Second year head coach JJ is abusing Ime. I knew it would happen but it still stings knowing we're stuck with this for a few more years at least

    Kd is a player finisher not a playmaker. This roster is a mess

    I mean it's the East.

    A Heat team led by Jimmy Butler made the Finals in the Leastern Conference.

    Udoka has no idea how to get kd open. Reddick again makes adjustments.

    Agreed. I'm not saying Reed hasn't been terrible, because he has. But he's played 10 minutes, and has been in and out 3 times. His longest consecutive minutes played tonight has been 4. You're not getting anything out of a player playing him like that.

    Even Doc Rivers has a title. That get out of jail card is getting worn out. It's been 9 consecutive ugly offensive showings in the playoffs since his Finals appearance.

    it’s time to lock in and get this win

    going down 0-2 to this Lakers team is unacceptable

    We are so bad at getting the ball to players at their spots. And so slow that even if it happens it is either too contested or too late in the clock.

    Shouldn't have rushed him back.....but that summed up the season....

    Reliant on Durant too much and at the end dude is going to be forced to turn it over.
