I'm listening to the hawks broadcast btw and listen to these guys cry when the celtics are doing what they should be doing like it's not working. It is working. Dennis the menace. Bunch of babies and liars. Honesty and good heartedness is definately an undervalued trait these days. Deceptive and stupid people are a bad combination.

Nice shot Trae. Trae Young is a really good player. Smart is playing really well. Trae and Bogjanovic are no joke and the amount of scorers they have. We are playing hard this game. Still have room to grow. That slow start when Dennis came in really hurt us. But he played awesome when he came in the 2nd time for a stretch. Still too many ups and downs.

Argh we needed a 3 there. I thought that right when they got the ball and Jaylen missed Tatum at first and got the charge. Godamnit. I am on this game.

That's all folks. A few plays here and there and development that still has to occur. We could use another scorer and athletic 4 like i said. But it's not the end of the world. Still a long season.

I was hoping for a Pritchard barrage to end it there but not meant to be. I'm happy just watching this team improve. The trade talk is nauseating at times. I can watch them improve all day. Gotta fight. The internet doesn't want to talk about that though. For what probably will amount to us getting what we need anyways. Unless the celtics buy into the hype and aren't as good as me. That's possible too with the focus being how it is. I watch these games like I play it. Knocking down shots in the face but team player. Intense at times other times not so much. I see the whole court really well and always have.

They're not improving. We desperately need a trade.

they actually are. I was talking about dennis the menace though earlier with the commentator. They had him defending inside andd it was actually working and he said it wasn't. I agree we need a more athletic 4 but that was actually working for a stretch there. We kept getting within 5. But then we'd have a defensive break down. We actually played really well that game. The hawks just had too many scorers and we'd missed a couple plays here and there.
Jrich would get called for a charge or Jaylen missed a critical 3 himself and turned it over when Tatum was wide open. That's 6 points right there. We couldn't stop Collins for a stretch there and Trae and Bogdan were too much. We basically need a couple more guys who can score. Particularly a more athletic 4. Whether that means reshaping the roster somewhat that is a debate i can buy. But we are improving. Marcus played well at point but his assist numbers were down because he needs players to hit shots. I agree we could use another pg in ways but I also don't agree there. We also could also use another scorer off the bench. but Nesmith, Romeo or Pritchard need to step up in the interm.
That game had a playoff feel to it and the hawks are no joke when healthy. We lost and we could rebuild this roster in ways. This team has not reached it ceiling either.
Otherwise I see the improvement.

If it's close near the end, we lose. Blowouts against bad teams don't count for much. I can't remember the last time we had a good win - a win against a good team that had all their players available. Must be well over a month. Denial is not a solution.

Dude you are calling me a liar and saying denial is not a solution? Most of you are in denial and probably come from abusive homes is the problem. Stop blaming other people for your utter nonsense. I see it all the time. It's not about right or wrong but I'm seriusly like 90 percent right most of the time. Stop denying actual logic yourselves. Nothing I said was denial. I listened and noted certain things. I get the internet needs to contribute other things and like i said all these trade rumors are all well and good but it's nothing i can't do on my own just by watching games.. I've heard that too like i don't watch the games. I actually do. Most of you have intelligence issues. You don't actually watch the games. I am not in denial. I'm watching the games. Most of you have learning disabilities more than likely and I should be a doctor. Think before you take offense to that too. I hear it all the time ont he internet and the bullying that goes on and really does.

You are right though denial is not a solution. Nothing i said was that. I noted the things we need in every which way. And the internet is full of lies. Or people with opinions who are denying certain things. I've heard it all trust me like it's me. It's not me. That's actually true is the thing. My iq is like 152. And the internet is not the truth. People and what they do sometimes isn't even the truth. I'm also a really nice person.
In that 10 game span where we actually did improve and were 7-3. We are now 7-4 in our last 11. We beat NY, Indiana twice, Chicago, Sacramento, New Orleans, and Washington. We lost to Charlotte, POrtland, and Philly. And just lost to Atlanta. Most of these teams have some talent in some regard. We aren't beating the top tier teams. But Atlanta's record isn't that great. Neither is Portland or Charlotte. They are talented teams and we need to take that next step is all.
We are basically winning the games we should at this point and losing to the teams we should be losing to. Earlier in the year we were losing to teams we should have been winning against. So there has been improvement.
Early in the year we were losing to Sacramento and Washington and NY. We started improving when we lost to NY that game and Barrett hit that shot and I criticized them for how we were defending. That was when udoka started talking about mental toughness too. Since then we have had one of the top defenses in the league. Not to say we aren't missing pieces or changes can't be made.
It has amounted to a .500 record so far. But we are still 7-4 in our last 11. Mostly due to how we are playing. OUr defense is better and we are attacking the basket more offensively. Our rebounding has been much better too. Effort, focus and mental toughness has been better. We still aren't beating the top tier teams is all. We need to take that next step and keep fighting and not regress. Some of that is just effort and we may regress but every other team is in the same boat and has stepped it up too. Some teams aren't. Some teams are now in funks like Washington and Sac. But we need to keep fighting.
Like I said it's not about right or wrong. All the trade rumors out there are all well and good. It's peoples opinions and it's what you take from it, but a lot of these people are in denial themselves. Have disabilities and everything else. even me sometimes. I try though and no disrespect is meant. Nothing but respect.

And sometimes denial of lies and denial to get to the truth is the solution in some form. We could trade Marcus Smart too. I'm not saying that. We could try to improve this team in other ways and sometimes you have to give up something to get something. But that's just true too. But we are improving. I hope that isn't our [HASH]1 option because Marcus Smart is a good player and it's going to have to be something better if we go that route. There are still ways Marcus can lead this team too. I don't think we are absolutely at that point yet. It would have to be somethign where we can improve in those key areas talent wise as far as shooting, scoring etc, etc.. We still need a more athletic 4 who can shoot imo. Who that is. We signed Bol Bol to help out. It's not the end of the world here yet. Too many chicken littles. The sky is not falling. It is in ways depending on how you interpret it.
This team and the players on it learn each game through experience. Some of it is good. Some of it they pick up bad habits and get lackadasical which is really fine in some regard. They are improving in positive ways though right now. Win or lose really. When the effort is good like it is now and we are focused on the right things, we tend to gain more experience that's going to pay off ultimately. I don't care too much if there was a mistake here or there. That's going to turn around. And we may need to make a trade or a few.
It's really not denial with me is the thing. It's how I see it in ways and I'm usually not wrong. I get what you are saying that denial, people are just in denial on things and it is what it is. It might really not be me here. I'm just enjoying the games and see improvement in ways and also am seeing how we can improve in other ways through trades etc.

I can't remember the last time we had a good win - a win against a good team that had all their players available. Must be well over a month. Denial is not a solution. Last good win hmm... maybe against the Wizards? If you consider them a good team. We did beat the Bulls but they didn't have Lavine or Caruso or Ball. We also beat the Suns but they didn't have Ayton and I've seen how big men can dominate our lineups. However they did have CP3, Booker and Bridges. That game our bench played unusually good lol. And we did beat the Cavs but they didn't have Mobley or Allan. Again, we're not seeing wins against teams when they're healthy AND have their big men.

I hear it all the time ont he internet and the bullying that goes on and really does. Mate.. that response is seriously uncalled for. If I'm reading jmost correctly, he's saying the team is in denial about itself. Thinking that they're far better than they actually are. I really doubt he was saying you were in denial.

This is the problem you have no cllue what I said. A lot of things people say are uncalled for and it's their own mental maturity to not handle it. Stop blaming me for other peoples bs. It always is that way.
I took the time and explained it every which way and it's true. I could sit here and say that all day. I actually didn't. I just explained. It's true too. People come from abusive crap and it's cyclical. I get people are making money on the internet telling their ideas but it's always the other guy and they do it to me too. It's always so and so sucks and this and that.
When what i said wasn't even that. It's your own mental maturity and how i worded it too to not understand it. I know who i am and what i said. And I'm probably more understand than most. And don't do that crap. People do. And the internet is backwards that way. If people take that personally that's their problem. It's true in ways. What i said was not that.
The internet is backwards that way. Does that mean I'm saying what you think? No. It's peoples inabilities to see it and no one ever realizes it when they do it to me. That's the crazy part and i get blamed. It's telling who is in denial. I get what he said.
Try being me sometime and being blamed for stuff you aren't even saying all the time and no one realizes it. People destroy lives and don't even realize it. I am not who you think here and have always been understanding of other people. And really in a very nice way where i actually undervalue myself too. We all have issues.
it was more meant to be funny and insightful in ways. It was not directed at anyone. The internet is hard to communicate as it is. My mother is a special education teacher and actual director school superintendents at this point. Why would i be that way?
It's my kind heart.
