Buncha girl scouts could beat this team right now. Get together some girl scout all star players and they win. Ever notice how tough girl scouts are? They stand all day in the freaking cold and wind to sell like 5 boxes of cookies in front of a Wal Mart with angry people coming out. This team isn't tough like that any more. They've been talking to Sheed. They just want to collect checks.

4 more games of this and we gotta start looking past Brad Stevens.

We also got killed on the boards in the second half, or so it seemed. Stevens let Toronto go on a long run in the beginning of the 3rd quarter before calling a time out. Way too long.

We need more consistent shooting. Crowder 2-11 RoZier 4-12 Smart 3-11 Kelly 2-7 Zeller 0-3 That's 11-44. That's not going to cut it.
Those shots from Roz will turn around.

But we don't need IT. Nope, that's some great shooting according to the "Trade IT" crowd here.
Losing a close game to the Raptors is not any great evidence that we need Isaiah Thomas.

If youd told me we would beat the Magic and lose a close one to the Raptors I would not assume something(like losing your leading scorer) had gone wrong.
Our inability to create any offense is a good indication we aren't going far unless we have IT
Toronto is a top 4 team. We are a fun team even with IT4. We aren't beating the raptors or Cavs.
If we have IT we win this game. It was a close game in the end and we literally had no offense besides get it to Al Horford. You bring IT and he gives us 20 points at least and 6 assists and we pull this one out. An easily winable game

I don't understand this crowd. It's either fire Brad or bench/trade IT. No respect around here man it's sad.

It doesn't work like that. We never have the run in the second with the young guys going like that. The whole game becomes impossible to predict.

Hm...bad shooting night for us and they got hot. As for guys jumping on smart's shooting, he actually shot 42.9% from 3. It's just that he isn't finishing well at the basket that hurt his total fg%

Did they count that full court heave?

One day Smart will hit his one timer.

43% includes a full court heave and the 25 footer with 10 seconds left.

Question - does anyone know of a stat resource that can tell you how many points a player scored on each defender?
