someone has to be helping Mazzula behind the scenes
he went from trash coach, to this?
someone good might be game planning with him

Maybe we don't, but I'm not trying to be the first team that loses up 3-0. They can get swept in the finals for all I care, but they need to beat this **** Boston team.
The scary thing is that with this team anything is possible. We can play with delusional confidence or we can play like a team full of undrafted players. If anyone remember game 6 of the NBA finals, Jimmy played the same way. Mentally defeated.
You think we went up 3-0 and Jimmy has just been mentally defeated ever since and it’s getting worse each game? Come on now

Why does the bench look fine and the starters look like poo, if this is on him?
Spo gets plenty of credit when we win, he can take SOME blame when we lose. I don't think that's crazy or anything. The zone got carved up to bits today and he didn't adjust, it is what it is. The players especially Lowry, Bam, and Jimmy need the lions share of the blame however.
Keeping Love in the starting lineup after they went small has caught up to us. Adjustment was made in the 2nd half so maybe he finally figured it out but that's been a big miss from spo

We should be guarding White more but it helps that Mazulla has legit NBA talent while we thought we could run the same team back with the corpse of Lowry and our big addition being the corpse of Love. I don't think Spo can make Bam or Jimmy play better. They have to step up themselves. It's on them. Spo can only do so much. He's made some bad rotation mistakes but Bam is missing point blank shots. Jimmy looks uninterested. Strus isn't that good. This team just isn't very good. We can still win this series don't get me wrong. I just don't blame Spo as much. I said this since the summer. This FO failed this team after being 1 shot from the Finals. But that doesn't excuse Bam or Jimmy in this game.
Spo is the LAST person involved that deserves blame. This is a team full of nobodies, that was an 8 seed, and underdogs in every game this series except 1. He should get Coach of the Year next season just for getting them this far.
EVERYONE is to blame outside of maybe Caleb Gabe and Duncan lol. And Highsmith. They’re playing up to par or better. By this same stance then they need to hand Jimmy MVP and Bam DPOY next season too because we’re not here without them either.
Jimmy and Bam sucked tonight, Spos schemes are getting cooked now. They all have to figure it out
Interesting....

Spo isn't putting Love in the game at the times when he should be. When any combination of the Williams and Horford or even the two Williams are out there then Love should be out there too.

Not a fuxkin soul on here had the heat in 4 or 5 but gosh damn let them lose a game and you all are ready to jump off the first bridge and trade/fire everyone
This is part of it. You’re not going to win every game and you’re going to get embarrassed here and there. Our worse loss was game 2 against the Bucks

Highsmith has to play, Drob may hve the ball more in his hands next game. But he may get blitzed more too. Spo and company will be ready.
They gotta end it in MIA. If they dont, its Boston’s series to lose.

Dude went from not calling time outs at all or diagramming plays to calling and making challenges. Gets interviewed between quarters and gives bland answers. Where was Brad Stevens today?

This team would really take it to the next level with a good PG. Even just a guy who can run the offense. Lowry is that bad. Gabe is a scorer and can score 29 in a game, but he's usually a dud.
