14 to 1 in their favor on made 3's. Free throws can only make up so much of the difference and you are relying on refs to always give you the call.....

I'm fine with the butler iso but attack he shot free throws 3 straight possessions.
Surprised they didn't at least put him in a pick and roll situation with KAT. Get your two best players in a two man game and make the opposing team react. Carroll is a pretty good straight up defender.

1 of 11 from 3 for us really hurt
Right, but even the fact we only got 11 off. They were determined to not let us get 3's while giving up mid-range shots. Not sure why we didn't try to post KAT more.....
Haven't been able to watch this one yet, but I'm disappointed seeing we lost to Brooklyn. Was it just a combined effort in not being able to get buckets? Or was it a couple key guys didn't show up? This should have been an easy win, and we've been mopping those up as of late.

That's what I didn't like, Going against Carroll. Better matchups to go against.

Could have gone either way, came down to the last shot and Butler missed bad. We played a good game to win in spite of 1 made 3 by the whole team. Taj was off, otherwise not a whole lot for me to be too upset about. Could have gotten another on the road. Hopefully they stay up and give Boston a legit fight.
