Garbage piece of **** coach.

Our "speedy guys" can't dribble the ball or stay in front of their "speedy guys" so I don't think it makes a difference either way.


Speedy line up cuts the lead from 18 to 10 in like 45 seconds. But yh no difference at all, ofc.

Mazzula is garbage.

Let’s see if Joe learned his lesson and not bring Jrue back in the game. He did that the whole season last year, bringing back smart no matter how awful he plays. Id play
Tatum, brown, white, porzingis and Al to finish

Let's go Celtics chants in OKC and still can't get it going. Likely a Little too late.

Pritchard is getting way too many minutes. Its clear he does not have confidence in his shot, and if he's not giving you that I have no clue why he's out there.

OKC played harder tonight and they executed better on both ends. That is partly attributed to coaching. Daigneault probably prepared his team better and coached better during the game than Mazzula.

But to be fair, Daigneault is a really good coach. Probably a top 10 coach in the league, maybe top 5. So even if Joe gets outcoached by Daigneault, it doesn't necessarily make him a bad coach..

PLus, it's only 1 game and OKC has home court advantage tonight.

BUT this is 2 yrs in a row now this has happened - last year it was worse of course, when OKC spanked us when they didn't even have SGA..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

This is a guy who should be hitting his prime and looks no different than he did two seasons ago and I’d argue almost looks worse


I mean I don’t think Tatum is having a bad game but any means but sga is having a greattttt game. Blame should go to JB for being pathetic and holiday.

If Tatum was playing at near SGA’s level today this is probably a very tight game right now.

It’s much needed especially with Holiday and Brown playing so badly

In basically every way.

D White is a basketball player.

Jaylen Brown is an athlete trying to play basketball.

I wanna thank cornet for the effort he gave.. No one else at 7 for 2 can play 15 minutes. Score zero points and technically not get a rebound. Although two other control tips may have given them two rebounds..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:
