I think they're literally afraid of Smart.

He's the only one trashing locker rooms after all.

John Paxson, Steve Kerr and Robert Horry say hello.

Kobe to Artest in 2010 says hello.

If Jordan can pass with game on the line, Tatum can pass. It’s the nba guys.

I don't mind not calling the timeout but you have to go much quicker in that situation.

Having Brogdon instead of White or Grant/Rob for defense in so many clutch possessions late is a tactical error or misplaced trust maybe. That's where he could've used his timeouts. Make O/D subs.

Last 3 losses in the playoffs

Trae young game winning three after the hawks were down
Harden game winning three after the Sixers were down
Harden game winning three after the Sixers were down

Pain. Always pain watching this team be so up and down in the playoffs and have victories snatched away from you so many times that extend series

When the score is tied you go for whatever you want. When you are down 1 you go for whatever you want..you just don’t run the **** clock down. What a joke. He had two timeouts. Could have drawn a play, missed, fouled, took another time out, another play to tie. Dude let the grenade blow on his hand while smiling at it. What a joke.


Joe doesn’t know what to do in those situations, that’s why he never calls timeouts. He doesn’t have a play in his bag.

Tatum get trashed on this forum for forcing tough shots at the end of games early in his career. Now he gets flamed for making the correct play and passing to the open shooter who....hit the shot btw.

The dumb move was running the clock down but Tatum absolutely made the correct play.

JB falls on the sword while the rest of the team has to defend Bazooka Joe for failing to do his job


Eh, that was really dumb by Jaylen. He should take that one, though Joe should have emphasized "No 3s" as well.

The lack of a timeout at the end of OT when we were obviously taking too much time to get into anything was pathetic though. Nobody should be defending that.

Joe was bad down the stretch.

No one is talking about Brown, who I've said for years has one of the lowest BBIQ's in the league.

Boston up 115-113. Brown decides to leave the hottest player on the floor and goes to the post to double team Embiid, leaving Harden wide open for a corner 3 with about 20 seconds to go in the game. Harden makes the 3, Sixers take the lead 116-115. Ball game.

Why double Emiid there and leave Harden open for a wide open 3? Even if Embiid makes the 10 foot shot, the game is tied with 20 seconds to go and Boston with the ball.

The correct play isn't Smart shooting a 30 foot hero dagger.

He was the open shooter. You make that play 10/10 times.

You're taking the shot the Sixers are baiting you into taking my guy.

That's why it's on Joe for leaving it up to the guys on the court to set a play instead of earning your money drawing up a play.

Yeah unfortunately you're right. Last time he drew up a play Tatum thought smart was going to shoot and smart wanted him to shoot.

Not sure what kind of play you draw up that causes that much confusion

It's the second time he's giving up a open 3 to Harden. Wether he recognizes what he did or not hasn't changed wether he does it or not.

Marcus hit the 3 lol. I was 100% fine with the shot. The mistake was the slow execution.

He was the open shooter for a reason not once but twice.

Correct me if I am wrong but game 1 was Horford on Harden and he had him blanketed. It was a tough shot.

He. Hit. The. Shot

Sub in Brogdan. He may have also hit the shot but still would have been late. Passing to Smart was the correct play. There isn't a way to spin it otherwise.
