Opponents shouldn't be wearing green on our homecourt

Alright, alright, alright it's game time!

Let's make this a perfect day. I just successfully defended my dissertation, so let's put the cherry on top of this day with a big C's win to cement our place atop the standings in the East!

Milwaukee is a really bad matchup for us with their length and Giannis at the 4, which Horford can't hardly guard him at.

8 games until the playoffs, we're in sole possession of the first seed for the first time in roughly 8 years, and we're still regularly coming out flat in games... Not a great sign.

It's been a routine that i'm used to it.  The thing is we can't come out like this in the playoffs.  And it's what BS has been talking about.  We've played full 48 minutes only in handful of games.

Good freaking grief, sit the starters on the bench and put the bench in. They don't need to be playing if they're going to be this lackluster on the defensive end. Ridiculous that we're having this type of effort and game starts this late in the season still.

Smart's defense is impecable

Sometimes going small is the right decision.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Ok.  Now we're balling.

Smart's passing and D has really helped this first unit out of that early slump. 2 assists already and some good D on Brogdon.

Luckily, I don't see us playing Milwaukee in the first round, but I bet we'd play a ton of small ball against them with their stetch bigs, basically out of necessity to guard them. This is why I thought the Bucks were one of our worst potential first round matchups. Their length really bothers our smaller guards, and Giannis is a walking mismatch.

I like how It4 is only taking what the defense is giving him.
