It wasn't inexcusable. Atlanta is a bad matchup for us right now without Mitch and Shamet. They play like we did last year and have length and athleticism on us which is our kryptonite. Not to mention they beat Boston and Cleveland this year...twice. They're not trash.
Don't get me wrong, it was a very winnable game but it wasn't inexcusable that we lost. That ATL team could easily have won wire to wire. And it wasn't a lack of energy. It was Atlanta's scheme working so well that we couldn't hit a shot OR get a rebound.
Okay you're about to pull me off the edge of the cliff, but tell me how we're going to react to anyone who plays tough D on us going forward, and how will we fix our D.
