Dang Horford 0 for his last 7 3-pointers attempted, lot of his shots are short.

Horford missed some shots, but he needs to keep on being aggressive. The whole team works better when he makes quick decisions.

I like that crafty play when they deny Horford in the post and Smart already has the angle to get Horford the ball on the re-post...

The officiating is so overbearing, the flow of this game sucks.

Horford's 3 has been off the past few games.

I think he's over thinking it. If he just shoots it off the catch when he has more space - I noticed it a lot in the GS game, he'll catch the ball, then bring it down, then pass back to a guard for a hand off, then get it back but by then the defense has recovered. If he shoots it that first time, it's a cleaner look.

Tatum with a couple of heady plays -- nice strip and a solid board in traffic.   Not much 'O' from the rookie again tonight.  But he's contributing.

Tatum has to be more ready to take those threes. He's let a few wide open shot opportunities go to waste due to not being ready. He's shooting nearly 50% from beyond the arc. He needs to take advantage of those opportunities.

Yep. Both Horford and Tatum have been stalling a bit like this and not going straight up with the shot. When Horford was shooting better he was going straight up with the shots.

The first unit's had a tough time finding offense. They're doubling Kyrie and Tatum has been hesitant to shoot while Horford has been missing.

Pro:
Smart, Brown, Hayward, Tatum, Kemba, Grant Williams, Sleepy Williams, Edwards!

Anti:
Kanter, Semi, Theis, Poierier

Most of our offense has come from Brown (10pts), Smart (9?), and Morris (10?)

Also. The refs have been going nuts with tickytack fouls. Really taking us out of our game offensively.
