Can This Team PLEASE Stop Falling Behind By 20+ Points Early...

I am a big time CBS fan but this getting behind every game is ridiculous and I think he is sick of it, too.

Yeah, especially getting behind by a big margin.

It's also maddening when we are down 15, the other team keeps increasing the deficit but CBS lets it happen by just keeping our bench out there and not calling a TO. It's happened quite a few times this season.

Well then do something CBS. More points in the paint, less chucking 3s. Go inside for some more efficient offense to stop opposing runs. Get some easy buckets instead of hoping the 3s start going in. Offense stinks

Sometimes the other team starts out clicking like Indy the other night. But for the most part we fail to match other team’s intensity and speed. Wish we could see more lineups early featuring Rozier, Tatum and Brown together.

Do we have ANY idea what other teams do in terms of falling behind?  Maybe the difference between us and other teams is that we come back more than most.  Thought about that?

Kyrie, like Lebron, does not usually assert himself early. Brad saves Horford and Kyrie pick and roll for the fourth quarter sometimes.

Yep, I've thought about that. I've also come to the conclusion that it won't work in the playoffs on a consistent basis. If you rely on coming back so much to win games, then it will be an early playoff exit for us.

Even in past years this team has had horrid starts to games and it's cost them.

I'am fine we pace ourself toward the end, means playing stronger each quarter and wearing the opponents down by tough defense
Not fine with early collapsing though

Need to attack the paint

Even Jaylen agrees!

Won't happen today. They'll be ready to play.

Well, it took longer this time. But now they look awful and fell behind by 20+ in the 3rd, and voila, they start playing with some energy and urgency again...

They seriously need to stop this habit of falling behind by a large margin.

Would help if they could stop jacking up so many 3s while the other team has crisp possessions leading to easy buckets.

Seriously, next time you make a suggestion, think about the consequences. They followed your suggestion and waited until the second half to fall behind by 20. Look what good that did us.
