Do you know what they teach you in elementary basketball? Not to get trapped in the corner.

Stop trying to make Jaylen Brown a playmaker he’s not.

We lost the game when we had the ball up 4 with 20 sec left and elected not to go for the layup
Downhill from there

JB with stupid TOs, Joe playing a big on the perimeter, JT shrinking

just STUPID

It’s amazing how dumb of a player he can be.

He has all the tools except for a brain.

I’ve seen twelve year olds handle a double team better

I can’t put into words how terrible Brown was in the fourth. Tatum not much better.

I got heat in the past but why I’d do him for Butler right now straight up.

Worst case, a shorter anchor of a contract to have on the books.

Best case, dribbling.
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

Ridiculously overpaid max player who can’t even handle beating a couple of defenders coming at him.

Mazzulla has to share that with him. Inserting Springer was nice but so many bad decisions before that.
Edit: Extend Mazzulla

Losers. Idk how we won last year, but Tatum and Brown aren't living up to their billing at all. They've been propped up by their supporting cast pretty heavily and clearly don't have what it takes to lead when the supporting cast is struggling to get it done.

And yes, I realize this rant is an overreaction.

Brown as a playmaker is a failure too. Stop trying to force it Joe. He just can’t make reads fast enough.

JB is a **** moron sack of ****.

TRADE HIM

There’s definitely a shooting slump going on, but there’s also a disconnect I’ve noticed since KP came back
