Doesn’t really seem like there’s any actual plays being run out there


They really didn’t last year either. Other than a ridiculous November, I have no idea how they achieved the offensive rating they did. Something doesn’t pass the eye test.

Not actively seeking out or forcing switches is driving me crazy right now. Just all iso and hoping someone makes a shot after the initial ball handler bails on his iso attempt


Feels like we win straight up out of talent and then when you watch the heat and nuggets play, it feels like there’s set plays out there made by the coach.

Makes me iffy about Joe already.

There's tons of examples of set plays we ran last season and this season during preseason out there. Here's just a few:

Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Hauser, Pritchard and Kornet sucked. Should have played Brissett, Stevens and Svi.


Our biggest weakness this season may very well be Joe. Hopefully his assistants chime in when needed.


It is the biggest weakness. It’s why they tried bringing all these assistant coaches. Dude still sucks. At least he does have them playing defense though.

JT is an animal
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

Tatum looks incredible. Yeah he can maybe pass more but when he’s playing like this, it doesn’t matter.

These midrange swishes reminds me of rookie Tatum lol. Definitely looks like he worked more of his game this offseason there with the Truth.
