Stevens, we can't give up the 3 AND the offensive rebounds.

Love is shooting in the gym by himself.

This is pathetic defense.

Don't we have some of the best perimeter defenders in the league with Smart, Bradley, and Crowder? Why can't we make it difficult for them to shoot threes?

Because Love just shoots over those SHORT guys!!!  JR Smith shoots over Bradley and Smart all day long.

No way. He's by far our worst defender.

Crowder hasn't played good defense all year he only plays offense now.

It starts inside.  We have almost no interior presence.  Our defense is built to compensate with a lot of helping, rotating and showing.  So, we're constantly in this Catch 22 where we can't stay in front of Lebron or Kyrie and when we help we get max punished by open shooters.

And that doesn't even account for them being on fire and us shooting poorly.

When Thompson is almost perfect from the FT you know you're losing.

I think it's safe to say it's time for Ainge to gut this team.

We need some talent. The ball is moving way too fast for KO. By the time he reacts 3 things have happened.

Make everyone available except Horford and Brown. Horford because of his contract and Brown is because he's the future. Everyone else can go.

Smith and Kyrie wasn't much of an impact on this series so far. It was Love who kill this team by leaving him open for 3s. Our putrid frontcourt needs an overhaul next season and Danny will.
