In all seriousness. Let's discuss about it.


A serious answer is one of the things that may cost us in the playoffs are as star players being burnt out.. This clearly was a complaint last season before the playoffs and clearly Tatum and brown appeared burnt out..

Never mind the fact that coach joe is technically challenged.. And he doesn't have much ability to hold star players accountable.. But he literally Will have tired players come playoffs..

We still may end up winning eighteen because this roster is so strong.. But just like with doc rivers. We will be winning it despite our coaching not because of it
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Staff matters a lot more than just the head coach.

This is a fact.

Ime's a better coach than Joe but Will Hardy is elite and tbh Joe is a good assistant too. Damon Stoudamire as well.

This year's staff is good

I dislike losing, I dislike getting blown out.

I especially dislike, Giannis, Lopez and the Bucks.

Onto the next game, please come back with a vengeance.

I’d love to know what Joe was supposed to do tonight ?

According to some posters on here we should’ve focused on minutes instead of trying to win last night :lol:

Why is it There's always a couple of people defending the coach like they got their vagina hurt.. So many people blast the players for whatever reason, but if somebody yells at little coach joe, they get a period..

Tonight's game was really not a surprise.. Some of us have the common sense to say you cannot play such few players in a back to back or this would happen..

Lo and behold it happened like we said.. But even worse..

Tbh, I know the league would've been mad, but not one starter should've played tonight. Team clearly had zero in the tank

You can’t ask pros to play January games b2b like that. Sheesh.

They have nothing in the tank.

Maybe or maybe not.
Great coaches overwhelm their staffs.
You think the Staff mattered more than Auerbach, Belichick, Scotty Bowman, and Billy Martin?

Yes? Why? Becuase coaches don’t matter as much. You just gotta make sure your coach isn’t terrible.

Pop, Spolestra are great coaches. Guys like Carlisle, thibs, Nurse are good coaches.

Everyone else? They are Mike budenholzer. Buds will win if you are fork, lose if yku are bad, and literally won’t help or hurt you.

I have been annoyed or alarmed by Jaylen and Joe this year. Amongst other things.

But this is just not a game to get worked up about. No B2B's in the playoffs. This will be a distant memory in a few weeks.

They are part of the staff, that’s the point?

Joe is whatever, but this team has a great coaching staff, full of some of the highest regarded assistants in the league. That’s good enough.

As I mentioned with over 7 minutes to go in the 1rst Half, time to bring in the bench for the rest of the game (already down 30).

Joe actually took my suggestion, although he waited until the 2nd Half to give the starters, who lacked energy, synchronization, and couldn't hit a bushel, some time to relax and enjoy watching the third stringers outscore Milwaukee 64-60 in the 2nd Half (by comparison, the Celtic starters lost 1rst Half 75-38).

Pritchard, Hauser, Brissett and Mykhailiuk played extremely well.

Kornet, as I've often pointed out, doesn't do well against Physical Types.

Yes, I think so. I feel like Joe has shown growth as a coach ( timeouts, rotation decisions, knowing when to rest players). It maybe due to the additions to the coaching staff but overall I feel the coaching is better. I think there are still major issues with this team ( turnovers, lapses in focus, bench depth) but this the the most confident I've felt in the team in a while. I definitely understand the concerns that can be said on why the team won't make it to the finals but I think a few things have to be taken into consideration:

1. Joe is still a relatively new head coach
2. We had major changes to the roster in the off season
3. We have an 18 - 0 home record.
4. The team seems less one dimensional and reliant on the 3 (more posting up)
5. We've played well against many of the teams we will have to beat to make the finals (Heat, Sixers, Bucks)
