Jaylen being able to average 25ppg in this league despite being one of the dumbest players is quite something.

Imagine if he had a basketball IQ

We're only playing 8 Guys.

If you can't play Kornet, then get Brissett or Stevens in there.

We've needed some energy all game, but Joe hasn't put those guys in. He had Oshae at the table once, but never used him.

This team isn't going to out talent there way ti the title. Coaching needs to be solid. I don't see it.


Even the people who defend him don’t see it. They just don’t want to admit.

What coaching? It is nba. He’s been fine this year. It’s not his fault Brown can’t dribble or PP can’t shoot.

U guys act like there is something else he can do. I like way trammis playing. Like the rotation. Hate how poorly PP has played.

Joe is honestly the least of my worries. Jaylen dribbling into crowds is what keeps me up, also Horford appears to be completely useless offensively. Coaching probably wouldn’t fix either.

Joe is so rigid. He refuses to give other guys a shot when some of his rotation aren’t cutting it.

Many tried to warn that giving Jaylen the contract was a terrible idea. Early returns aren't good.

We have no offense.

It's NBA2K styled offense. Just go out there and ISO or pass it around. Occasionally call a pick.

Wish there was a system and we actually isolated good and bad matchups or focused on our players good at ballhandling (Jrue) actually do the ball handling.

Jrue Holiday is on the court and we constantly see Jaylen Brown with the ball in his hand as a creator. That's **** stupid.



That’s why i can’t see a title despite the so called huge expectations this year.


That's just Vegas chasing gambling addicts.

Big names who don't watch the NBA.

They don't even know who any coaches are. Outside of maybe Phil Jackson :lol:

Look at this Philly team, one coaching change and they lost Harden who was huge for them in the regular season and they immediately have shoot through the roof as a team.

Went from Doc "it's all vibes man" to a coach with a system. Like we used to have with Brad Stevens before our dumbass Jays decided the best coach for a championship wasn't the top item on their priority list. (something I personally blame Irving's influence on)

Not to pile on, but Jaylen rotated super late there.
