Why do we always give up line drives like it’s nothing

OUR DEFENSE IS SUCH A JOKE

Sick of it.

Is it me or is Jaylen biting on every even half-hearted pumpfake this year?

If Joe won’t make changes, Brad should.

We’ve got to play better defense. Good defense will lead to easy buckets with the athletes we have.

I hope JB misses the all star team. He needs that wakeup call

Not sure why Tatum doesn't get as deep in his post position as Brown
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Gotta think twice next time people wanna blame the bench for whatever’s going on with this team. Kornet isn’t the reason why we’re underperforming.

Because he doesn't even try. He's deadly on the left post especially when he spins baseline. He'd much rather spam 3's.

Has JB ever missed a FT that was long?

It’s Jaylen Brown, he has already made Jrue and DWhite go 1 for 5 in this game despite his 7 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assists. Better take him out before he makes PP and Hauser go 0 for 5

I feel like Porzingis is just a net negative on this team despite his hot shooting from 3. He gives up threes way to easily and we’re always in rotation when he’s out there, leading to wide open looks.

JT gets a "mismatch" and then just shoots a ridiculously difficult contested three.
