Wow, really late whistle on Young!

Brown has to dunk that layup.

But the MOVE is there. The finish will come.

I agree. That's a move jordan used to use a lot spinning towards the baseline. With his athleticism and threat to score on the block, that could be a very effective move for him

And this kid is 20 years old, Jordan didn't even come in to the NBA until, what 22?

Yeah Brown can be a very good player in this league, just needs to get some minutes in the NBA and refine his game. You can see sometimes when he goes to attack and see what the trainers are working on with him as far as iso moves and stuff like that. Despite sometimes struggling his shooting motion is getting smoother (As evidenced by his improved freethrow %), he's developing better footwork, and overall finding where he can attack a defense.

Just like we saw, Brown can get a nice look at the rim almost 75% of the time, he just needs to have the confidence and the mentality to finish. He has all the tools to be a force finishing around the rim for us.

This is going to be a long night...just look at the lineup out there.

[Ogaju]

Danny is going to have to step up.... this offseason.

We need to get longer. This is why the Butler trade does not move the needle for me. Butler is not long.

We need to get longer.

Get THE STASHES in here. Please get rid of Young. Its okay to admit you botched that pick.

[jpotter33]

I'm really surprised we've won as much as we have with our second leading scorer in AB out so long. We just really don't have the scoring outside of IT to suffer so many injuries.

[alewilliam789]

This is why we need Rozier out there early. He can create for himself and others. Just needs to stay under control

Well said. Brown is so enticing as a young hard working player with already advanced skills!

[Vox_Populi]

Horford needs to step up.

[Clench123]

All you Jaylen-over-Bradley crowd, with your chipmunk voices and your little hands at the poll, where are you guys? 

"Seven games"  "seven games" "we've been on a little little streak of seven games" "seven games is all we need" "Jaylen is harder and longer than Bradley" "give us Jaylen!"...

That is the most misleading poll ever taken on this site and it's an indicator of how shortsighted and fickle the fans on here. 

Jaylen and his fanboys here should get tha hell off the court and back to the bench once our second best player return.

[jpotter33]

Anytime you have to play a lineup with Rozier, Young, and Green against a Trailblazers perimeter, you're probably going to lose.

Still don't understand why we're not staggering IT and Al, though not that Al has been much of a steadying offensive presence lately anyways.

[Chief]

Ko take a bunch of Nyquil before the game?

[jpotter33]

Lol, this unit is so bad defensively. But at least Rozier gets to play Kobe offense for awhile! Three minutes, four shots!

[alewilliam789]

See these games are rough because we don't have the greatest chance to win, but at least we get see what we have in our youngins

[loco_91]

This is a brutal lineup we have out there. The problem with having AB + Crowder out isn't starting Jaylen + Smart, it's the fact that you end up with lineups like this.

[Vox_Populi]

Young has 3 fouls. Trash.
