The problem with Tatum is he doesn’t get the ball in the post everything in the perimeter, he gets wrecked. The less Tatum dribbles the better and that goes for everyone but they keep making the same mistake. Turnovers and quick no ball movement threes is a recipe for a blowout

Why is white chucking quickly

That's the game plan, those 40 3pt attempts aren't going to shoot themselves

What do you want? Them to realize they’ll trap Tatum? To run an offensive play? To not mindlessly switch?

Get real


Isn't that the whole point of learning from mistakes?

No way you can bring Joe back. If you do, you've basically told the fans you've already punted on next season.

Zero chance Brown/Smart are gone. Smart definitely needs to be moved but Brad doesn't have the balls to do it.

Have the Celtics played zone defense once in this series?

Yahoo article already said hes coming back. No shot they fire him. Even though he should be gone.

Tatum in the post? Never heard of it. Can't spam threes from there. Seems dumb.

I knew it, the low IQ, dumb play will creep in again. If you gonna dribble into two or more defenders make sure you know what you’re doing and not kick the ball out to no one. Pass the damn ball before a double team. Also defend the the **** 3 please.

Yep. Killed teams early and got figured out hard about 2/3rds of the way through the season. If we’re lucky we get one screen and a shot

Biggest problem we have is Mazula doesn't have the balls to tell Tatum and Brown to quit trying to split the double team with the dribble.

I don't see a chip coming anytime soon with these doofuses. Even with a better coach. They default to playing dumb when it counts.
