Bad is an understatement
It is a colossal mistake



Another question. How did a college coach who is one of the best in the game as a college coach... get kicked up to our General Manager role which is the first time he is a General Manager?

Oh was that just because he had a big contact and the Owners didn't want to pay a coach that much money anymore so they could hire a new coach and pay them little money and then have Steven's money count as the GM's contract?

Owners are to blame here too.

Corruption and profit first over any consideration on what's right to do for the franchise.


Yeah
It's a business
And if it is like you say - I hate this team even more

Shame that ownership doesn't consider championship as a financial bonanza

If they don't do that much at a minimum, ownership is showing that they are content with another 5-10 years of the same garbage we've witnessed for the past 5-10

Wyc told Brad to do whatever it takes. Brad failed.

I have a hard time blaming Brad when much of this team was drafted by Ainge. The moves that Brad has made (Brogdon, White, Gallo) were good on paper. While we know very little about the Udoka situation, firing him was the right move IMO. Can't have the HC and leader of your team sleeping around with the staff.

That being said...Brad has his work cut out for him this off-season. Joe clearly isn't the guy for this team, and our depths/role players are invisible in big games. If Brad doesn't shake things up, then I'll be calling for his head pretty soon.

IDK if it warrants that high a level. But, Joe does need some Experienced Help on his Staff.

The Bucks and Raptors just fired coaches who won them championships recently, Joe has to get canned.

this has to be unacceptable for our owners

Naw. Give him another Year.

He was a COTY Finalist. And did get them to 2nd Seed in the East.

Players are always the most to blame but he has coached poorly two series in a row and barely changed anything in either series.

Again players win games with execution man. Game 5 smart missed the widest open shot ever. In overtime they couldn’t get a defensive rebound down the stretch. If they do one of those things right now they’re up 3-1

Boxscore wise Brodgon and Jaylen Brown had good games.

Brown: 24 points 6 rebounds 2 assists 3 turnovers 56%fg

Brodgon: 7 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 0 turnovers, 33% shooting (could have scored more but 3/9 is one make away from alright)

Tatum below average

Smart, Horford, Rob Williams, White absolute trash.

Both big guys were.


His early misses allowed the Sixers to build up a lead. This team has been bad playing from behind all season. Overall I agree though.
