Lol Ainge assembled this team with an insane amount of talent. It's definitely 50-50.


Really? Tell me more about the talents of Hayward? Or about how Brown and Rozier have played all damn season?

It seems like everything goes to **** the minute Baynes goes down.

Rozier - Pending RFA. Looking to get paid.
Morris - Pending UFA. Looking to get paid.
Brown- Eligible for contract extension this summer. Looking to get paid.

Root of our problems. None of those guys will be back next year, at least I hope...

How the F do we give up 40 pts in the fourth quarter?

Play some damn defense. Give me a break.

My goodness how did we lose this? Had to go do something after half time. Looks like we hardly played Theis in the 2nd half.

He’s supposed to encourage it and demand it. Don’t get me wrong the players are to blame mostly but Brad needs to **** do something about this BS that’s been happening. That’s his job.

If that's Pop or Doc out there yelling at them, they're playing much harder than they did tonight. That's a fact as far as I'm concerned.

Do what? You literally don't even need a coach to hold a twenty point lead. They are lazy and selfish when they get leads. That is their makeup.

They were up by 26 at one point. Unacceptable.

Hey man, I agree, but this team was highly touted as the deepest roster in the league coming into the season. We both know Stevens has done a terrible job with minutes/rotations all season long. It's his job to make the talent fit/excel. He's not doing it.

Agreed. The collapses are like clockwork this year.


When less talented teams were overachieving Stevens was praised.

Stevens has not coached successfully this season. I think that's clear. Whether successfully = well in this context, however, is a much more difficult discussion. I could argue either side.

Brown back to his awful self, and Smart has been **** now that he thinks he's a shooter. -21 for Smart tonight. Team worst. That pull up missed three was the dagger for the Clippers.

All 3 can go. Include Tatum. Smart too. No one wants Gordon so we are stuck with him.

The year? This is the most embarrassing lost I've seen in 10 years and I'm not kidding.


Idk getting blown out by like 30 against the Cavs on Pierce’s retirement night was really damn embarassing. But this team has a handful of embarassing games this year to even count. Losing to the suns, Knicks at home. Lose to the lakers at home up 18, lose to the clippers tonight at home after being up 28. Like goddamn this team is so ass sometimes while looking pretty elite in other games (home only). I still haven’t seen anything from this team on the road which to me is the most concerning thing about this team since we have no home court after the first round.


Getting beat by Lebron by 28... ok, I get it.. but Shamet? Harrell? I’m not even sure I’m spelling these dudes names right.


Getting beat by 28 sucks but that's the same team that went to the finals 4 years in a row. yes all those other losses were bad but this is a goddamn developmental league team that they had a 28-point lead on end up losing by 11.

This is the team's worst non-playoff loss in 10 years.

Stevens needs to call him out on that in front of everyone, put his ego down a notch.

Team needs a pecking order of some sort. We know Kyrie is that guy at the top. After that it gets ugly with everyone wanting to shoot. Horford is unselfish and he doesn’t care about shots and stats but we all know Jayson, Jaylen, Morris, Rozier all want their shots and numbers. It’s getting annoying at this point. Wish we had more role players instead of the talent who can’t play team basketball.

I’m the biggest Smart hater in the forum. I eased up on him a bit since entering the starting lineup. But it’s fool gold I’m sure.
