Just joined the game thread. Did yall catch Doris Burke mixing up Doc and Dr. J earlier. She stated the iconic rivalry moment was Doc choking Larry Bird.

These dudes can't score at all. It doesn't help when your superstar just randomly turned into a scrub.

Jrue ignoring Tatum in the post just for another three point chuck….

At some point Tatum needs to demand the ball and act like the star….enough with this balanced offense crap. It’s your team

WTF.

We're losing to an almost G League Team.

I hope we lose by 40
This team deserves this

You like shooting 3s?!
Train
Missing wide open 3s
Playing dumb
JT on the block on consecutive possessions and we take bad 3s

Keep shooting it and playing bad defense

Lazy offense with all these 3s. Terrible coaching. Not winning anything jacking up this many.

Springer was in there and he missed all his open shots.


Yeah and KP just hit a 3, and Bubble gum Joe yanks him out. Kp was even confised he was pulled out. What a momentum breaker.

They're playing the long game.

You really think Joe would yank KP in that situation if this were the playoffs?

It's a marathon, not a sprint.

I’m so sick of the Kornet and Horford double big line up.

This game also shows you how important Pritchard has been saving this garbage bench’s ass with his scoring.

Another embarrassing performance. This team plays so far below its capabilities due to a questionable philosophy and a failure to adapt.

At this point I hope we get blown out. Not an acceptable showing.

Yep. Sixers zone luring the already lazy Celtics offense to become even lazier.

C's have enough talent that aren't maximized. If it's going on this long (over a month), it's a coaching issue.

Because those guys if you look at it are better on offense. Those guys can dribble and penetrate, then hit a layup or a mid range. JT does nothing but chuck 3’s, or euro step to the basket and just throw the ball not using the glass properly.


Is it me or it looks slow compared to 2-3 years ago? He has trouble dribbling his way into the paint these days and has no burst up the court. Used to be able to get some easy baskets just off running in transition

You would think JT would have some explosive games now as one of the 5-6 best players in the league according to most but it’s been over a month and he’s looked awful


Started when he got bothered attacking the rim, and started doing euro’s everytime he attacks the basket. Just watch him. All he does is euro’s to avoid contact. Then, he fell in love with the 3 ball. Then, its all side step, step back 3’s. Mid range was there before, now its almost non existent. He was fearless as a youngster, now all he does is euro’s to avoid contact. Then when there is contact at the rim, he doesn’t have the ability to finish. That’s why he rarely gets any and1’s.

This game is disgraceful. They are losing to a developmental league team.

21% from 3 and 30% overall.

That's just horrible shooting.

Maybe we need to get used to the pattern of WLWL.

Hey I got an idea miss nine straight three pointers how about keep chucking it until you figure it out??

One poster insinuated on here what can Joe do differently if you miss shots, how about taking to the hole how about post up how about getting ball movements how about push up the pace.. so f****** sick of people defending Joe and the settled for stupid long three-point shots..

28 f****** points to a g-league roster plus one player.. again..

Joe and his stupid philosophy and is unmotivated team is pathetic..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:
