This team is so volatile mentally. They're playing like nothing matters.

Now Marcus Morris is making bunk shots and we bobble a simple pass and it falls out of bounce.

You'd think we'd get Adams off the perimeter, but nope.

I'm glad Billy lit a fire under them at halftime.

If we lose, I'll take full blame. This is the first game in an eternity that I've decided to sit down and watch from the beginning.

Well, the opposing coach is one of the three best coaches in the NBA. Meanwhile, by comparison, we have a toddler coaching our team.

It'd be the most Thunder thing to do to end their 6-game win streak by losing to the Celtics C-Squad.

Equally frustrating is that we'd probably win if Kyrie, Brown, and Smart were healthy.

So, I guess by this point we can just assume Westbrook is going to be an average FT shooter for the rest of the year.

Is Brad Stevens thaat good of a defensive coach? Even without Smart, Kyrie, and Brown they're going to hold us to 95ish points?

Hire Caron Butler as our head coach tomorrow. Even he understands that our best second unit features Carmelo instead of PG.

And this is a guy who can't/shouldn't have nearly as good of a feel for our team/roster as our actual head coach.

Of course they go on a run to end the quarter. Just put them away already for **** sake.

And Donovan goes even stupider and takes out Melo, puts an all-brench lineup on the floor, and the Celtics quickly turn our 9-point lead into a 2-point lead by the end of the quarter.

Seriously, fire this f***ing moron.

Even the announcers questioning why you would have zero starters on the floor :lol:

How are you double teaming the guy and he still gets off a clean look close to the 3PT line???

Surprised they didn’t take the lead. These rotations won’t work against the better teams.

Even before that Caron Bulter was talking about how he felt the time to showcase Carmelo was with the second unit, yet even our idiot head coach thinks we should keep trying PG + bench units with Russ and Melo on the bench. At this point you have to think Donovan is purposely and stubbornly ignoring every outside source (analytical data and the media) in order to try and make a point.

Donovan has to be one of the five worst coaches in the NBA.

This guy is a bleeping idiot.

And we start the fourth with an all-bench lineup.
