I don't want to be negative about this team but something has stuck out to me. It happened in the first playoff game but luckily didn't cost them the win.

On too many occasions they've had a very comfortable lead with 3-5 minutes left and then rushed off a few shots rather than let the clock run a little. It has cost them a few games during the year.

They're still playing incredible though, especially for a team with so many key injuries, so I don't want to knock them too much.

Liked the look at the future though: Brown 34 points 8 boards, Tatum 21 points. Together 7-13 from 3.

...and that's exactly what happened Sunday afternoon.

We saw Good Jaylen for 47 minutes...

...and the one minute of Bad Jaylen cost them the game.

I'd still rather have Jamal Murray.

All right...you can go for the mini earphone...preferably blue tooth (wireless)

Also, have as many discreetly placed TV screens available, if you're hosting, where you can glance at the action

Or, if the party's on the road, make like you gotta go all the time

LOL, I am actually deaf...so mini earphone is out. We are eating at some fancy restaurant..so I doubt there will be TV's in my sight lines.

So, the plan is to utilize my DirecTV's Genie box....tape the game at home...and stream it over my iPhone later that evening....the only hard part is going "off the grid" for 3-4 hours without reading any news..... I might watch the 1st half before dinner though...so won't have to stream more than the 2nd half (can't fast forward a stream effectively).

While I am happy we have home court and want to see these guys play Philly....I don't feel good about Saturday's game.

I thought we played well in game 6 by moving the ball, but simply got killed when the Bucks closed the 1st, 2nd, and 4th quarters.

I like Marcus Morris, but he shouldn't be a major offensive option for us. We need to get Brown an Tatum easier shots and use Horford more in the paint....Horford isn't a big scorer, but we need 20ppg from him, IMO. Just 10-12 shots in the paint per game, get to the line a bit, and maybe hit a three or two.

Pretty good example of how Smart can make a huge difference to this team without being a scorer.

I am really excited to watch the team this year.
Not sure how far we get in the playoffs but not really worried about it as this team will be fun to watch all year.

Then ... maybe ... we knock off the Cavs but enjoy the season first.
