Call a timeout to draw up a play in regulation. Call a timeout when Edwards is ass stuffing you for 7 straight points in OT.

We will lose EVERY single game where our talent doesn’t completely stand out. Every single one. Dude has ZERO impact on the game. Only thing he did to help was the foul on Gobert. Worst coach in the league.

I'm convinced he has nothing at this point. Let 'em play! Even though they're gonna dribble the air out of the ball and let the defense get set anyway. Then chuck up an extremely low percentage, contested jump shot.


I didn’t even think the shot was that bad. It was somewhat open compared to what McDaniels gave up all game long. But you take a timeout just to settle dudes down and get Tatum the ball. He’s just useless. If Doc ever saw Ray Allen go up with the ball like JB did, he would have flown out to the court to call a TO and get Pierce the ball. Basic ****.

Ray Allen is one of the best shooters ever so Doc would definitely call a TO to take the ball out of his hands and have Perkins post up or something.

Don't blame Mazzula,blame the ones who kept him in the job after he embarrassed himself last season.


I'm going to blame both.

Brad needs to dump Joe ASAP and install JVG or literally any one of twenty assistant coaches around the league who would be better.

Because he’s a stubborn prick and was hyper focused on keeping his 2 TOs for his scenario with 45 seconds on the clock when we’re already being clapped.

We are cooked with Joe at the helm. And it's going to take a full season for most people here to realize it.

I mean..yeah, but he was never THE guy to take the ball full court and create for himself. He played off others and was a God of spot up three’s. If you give JT that ball, have him collapse the D and kick it out to Brown for the same shot, it wouldn’t have been so bad. But your MVP has to be involved there.

I'm honestly surprised they resigned him. He's been absolutely terrible. I can live with him getting cooked on defense because of his size but he's shooting 29% and 17% from three.

I understand he grabbed some rebounds but generally if he's not hitting shots he's useless

I don’t even care that we lost, it’s going to happen. What frustrates all of us is that it looks like Joe hasn’t worked on late game execution at all.

It's not low key for me. I notice it every game.

The word superstar gets thrown out a lot. Until he improves in that area, he isn't a superstar to me. True superstars make their teammates better.

We saw Anthony Edwards driving, drawing 2 defenders and kicking it out for his teammates for open 3s. He had 7 assists and 38 points, not to mention the 9 rebounds.

Tatum was going one on one, and shooting or passing the ball to fans sitting courtside.

Last 3 games, Tatum has 7 assists and 11 TOs.

Pritchard might legitimately be the worst player in the league factoring production vs. minutes. Such a massive disappointment compared to how he looked in preseason.

This is just 1 out of 16 or 17 losses.

No big deal.

But Cs risk losing back to back because next up is at Philly.

Return to Boston Celtics
