Been pretenders all year...why change now?

Frontrunners too. Just no grit at all to this team.

Smart has to go. Joe needs to be fired. And the clock should start ticking for Tatum.

We all should have seen the massive holes on this team when Trae young by himself cooked the Celtics in game 5 and the whole team wet the bed that day too

Dont let them off the hook for the play Joe ran at the end of game 1.

Also Philly is a really good team. Embiid is just that good.

This team is gritless and grindless.

One of the most embarrassing pathetic efforts I’ve ever seen. I feel sick how can you come out like this in this game.

He’s only taken 15 shots. He seems to have mailed it in.

Then he will whine about it to the media

So epic comeback to win in 7 or Stevens got to break this core up and replace the coach. 2nd round exit was inexcusable.

We’ve missed a ton of open shots tonight, but we made 0 adjustments on the defensive end and it shows.

What's really pissing me off is our defense and offense has sucked all night so why not try a "lesser" defensive player or two to get offensive rhythm? Maybe that will also get your defense going.

We needed that Win, last game.
Ww're getting beat, on our own Court. Again.

Our defense falling off is unlikely due to a PG off the bench.

The system changed.

Drop big lazy defense that doesn't ask the players to hustle and they don't look like they wanted to hustle this year on defense.

Honestly it feels like Smart, Brown, Tatum think they deserve the praise of a Curry, Klay, Green trio and took advantage of a rookie coach to take control of the team.

When in reality them tuning out one of the best coaches in the game while going to the ECF and playoffs every year in Brad Stevens was a sign that we had a character problem with the players not a coaching change solution.

We must have gotten really lucky with Ime having enough character to keep them in check but with Joe they seem to be playing 0 effort defense.

The amount of lucky rolls is unbelievable
