I'd love to know why Jordan Crawford is on this team, besides "having a contract." Except for rare occasions, I get really tired of seeing box scores like 4-13, 5-17, 6-20, etc.

You usually can't win when you shoot 60% from the FT line

Most of those misses were in the first half. We got back into the game by driving the ball into the paint. You don't win games when 1/3 of your shots are from the three point range. Its just not consistent enough. And unfortunately, with the exception of that run we had in the third/fourth, we've been too dependent on the three today. I think we've only missed one ft in the second half (by Barron, if I'm correct).

he been pretty good tonight running the offense. Did you just look at the box score?

[No Excuses]

Roll with a three guard rotation from here on out. AJ Price sucks.

Yeah, I don't get that statement. I've been watching Crawford and he along with Barren are the reason we're in this game. Crawford has vision and passing ability that Price and Pargo couldn't dream of. But, hey, wait til those starters come back!!!!

Waiters looks better than Beal

I'm not sure Waiters is better per se but he does have a quicker first step.

Both statements are correct. A lot of factors went into the loss tonight. Great effort to make a run to take the lead against the 2nd stringers but their 1st team were just too much for us. I can' wait to judge this team in December or so when everyone is healthy and have a few weeks of playing with each other.

There is really no excuse for Beal not to be getting 35 minutes per game with this roster.

Team still can't shoot consistently and Kyrie is a monster

Story of the game

[AsiaticSkinsFan]

He can not dribble. That is why he got sent to the bench. They picked his pocket twice and scored. If he doesn't catch and shoot he's helpless, at least that was the case tonight.

and he was bad defending.

Kyrie is going to put up numbers this year.
