like ole doc rivers. smh. can we stress points in the paint? ever? i like CBS but this is crazy. Looks to be our undoing. I said if we don't win game 5 we lose the series. Looks like i was right.  oh well.

Can't drive to the paint when Hawk's defense is swarming over there. Needed to hit some jumpers to open up the lane. Too bad, none of our guys can hit it with consistency.

Well when they consistently triple-team your only good scorer everything else is tough to get going.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

We absolutely lived and died by long range shots.

Are people this simple.  It's not about drawing up an offense to do what you want.  It's about having the players that can execute the offense want.  We simply do not have the horses to do what some people want them to do.

Hawks clogging the lane---I was screaming for Zeller---at least he has some height---we got a team of midgets going against regular sized NBA players...CBS should have countered with some size, instead of beating our heads against the wall.
Larry Bird was Greater than you think.

A lot of teams are trying to be golden state.  We hear about everyone trying to find a draymond green to play center. 

It's going to be interesting, because it seems to me at some point a dominant big man might show up and wreak havoc on the league.  I get why the game is turning into small-ball domination, but I also would have loved to seen a prime shaq or Hakeem go up against lineups where the center is 6'8.
