That’s how the NBA is these days.

Lol at you thinking it’s a Mazzulla thing


It’s really not. But sure..

You’re wrong.

Majority of NBA teams run read and react offence these days.

That was too many minutes of ugly basketball.

Normally a star wing vs. Embiid would be a good mismatch but Jaylen doesn't really have the burst or the handles to get by lumbering bigs.

Feels like we’re playing like **** but still somehow in this game, missed most of the first half getting my girl in the tub.

I do think it may be time to worry about Jaylen’s three ball, this is a years long trend.

Someone needs to just start a series of videos every game on all of these Jaylen moments. He is not the guy.

Super max and a one year NTC. How wonderful. Will be an albatross soon

Pull Brown and go double big. Porzingis opens up the offense.

They have launched a three EVERY trip down. Not attempt to even try and get in the paint, backdoor cuts..nothing. Just awful.

This actually favors the Celtics because as bad as the Cs are shooting, it's just a 4-point game.

When the Cs get it going in the 4th, it will be the Sixers who will be trailing.

A game of runs, that's the NBA.

We’re taking such stupid shots. Why not try some cutting and passing. If you don’t like it, you can always go back to the iso you love so much.

He didn’t shoot the three well last year either…miss 2022 JB

I don’t know what the **** happened. His midrange used to be automatic too now it’s everything short when he shoots

Live by the 3 die by the 3
No inside offense at all, post up, penetration etc
No ball movement
No urgency, movement and dumb basketball

Same poor basketball of the several last years
They play as if their talent will win them games, just need to show up at everything will be fine
I am not going to wake at 2am to see this crap anymore

I root for laundry and am genuinely rooting for Jaylen to play well this year in a title run.

But...

I am counting down the days until Brad decides that we can no longer support his salary and ships him outta here for some high end role players.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!
