Proof that Brads actually a good coach, if he can't put in backups to hold onto a big time lead in a blowout. These inefficient 6'0 shooting guards have to stop.

Semi/Tremont/Nesmith are listed at -17 in 4 minutes.
Wagner is at -20 in 5.

I mean what can he really say? It's like getting mad at an 8-year-old for not being able to replace brakes on a car.

Why doesn't Stevens play Nesmith more?

Hahahahahaha

I don't mind Stevens bringing the third-stringers in early, but I think he did so waaaay too early. And it's also inexcusable that the third-stringers played like absolute sh*t, playing selfishly and stupidly. This almost-embarrassment is on them, and the starters should cuss them out (which they won't, probably).

Anyway, I knew I shouldn't have tuned in. Now I'm pissed instead of happily celebrating this win. But still, great win and great performances just by looking at the box score.

40 by Jaylen! Amazing.

Waters, Wagner, Edwards

Can’t see any of them on next years roster, but the fact that you also have a lottery pick and another first rounder not doing anything for us is also on Ainge.

No ... I just am not a short sighted low IQ fan who blames the coach for everything all the time....constantly crying about his every move.

I'm gonna choose to believe that the bench just wanted Jaylen to get 40 tonight.

End of the bench was terrible but Waters was horrific. He hijacked the offense to take terrible shots.

Bruh, they were up 27 with like 8 minutes left. That's like 99.9999 pct win probability. If they walk up the court and hold the ball for 24 seconds every possession and then hand the ball to the ref, they win every single time.

And we question Brad's ability to coach when a few of those guys were getting regular mins because we had nobody else.

It's more roster issue than coaching issue

keevsnick1 · Post #557 » by **keevsnick1** » Fri Apr 16, 2021 4:34 am

A lot of people saying Stevens brought the bench in too early. If you can't hold a 27 point lead with 8 minutes left thats a player problem, not a coach problem.

Smart: None of y'all bums gonna be in the NBA next year go sit in the corner.
Bench: Can we get an autograph and team picture before we go?
