I don't think Isiah Thomas will help the situation. How was the last time he operated with Bledsoe and Goran in the back court. Now there is also Durant, who needs to be given the ball to bounce quite often. High-quality role players who play well without the ball are missing, like Mikal and CamJ, who are not primadonnas. Mikal made Booker an all star player. He was Booker's angel in defense when Booker made stupid offensive desicions and defensive errors.

Let's see in 2nd half if these guys have some pride . If not, I don't care if they lose all remaining games.

That's correct. So this was the time for him to step up. After being mentored by CP and being at the right age. He didn't. He became infatuated with KD.


Leadership is not something you learn. You either have it or not. Booker doesn't. He's just a scorer who may get really hot. Point-Book has always failed. As soon as people running this franchise realize it the better.


It's not just point Book. With him I don't see any passion/anger or directing himself and teammates when getting down on the scoreboard. The most animated he gets is when they're up and he can clown/trash talk the other opponent. Every time they get down his personality goes into stone face or wide eyed mode. At least CP would have be barking at everybody.

I don't understand why KD has stopped playing ball the last two games. He is basically a different player since the second half @ Boston.

He isn't trying hard, he was playing with a porpoise every game before that 2nd half.

Yeah Celtics just got hot from 3, it had nothing to do with this pathetic D. 19 3s at half time.

I'd rather watch a crippled CP3. He gave a ****. I really miss him :lol: Never said I'd say that prior to 2020.

He's an old mercenary on a team with no leadership from the other "Big 3" or coaching staff.

Beal more and more reminds me of Ayton. Content to be a goofy type guy.

Nice sequence of plays on both ends, let's keep it up and do it a 10 point game going to the 4th.
