True. Gotta quickly move the ball when the double team comes.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

And again for the 1000 post I have made. Why don't we have a coach who can make that clear to our players. What exactly is I had coach for?.. And for another one thousand time what exactly is joe good at Question mark
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

NBA is the weakest league in the world, 50 game breaks a game, soft flopping all the time. It’s not worth watching live

Freely give Tech early, make them somewhat "Cry Wolf" later in the Game.
Might need to change it to 3 Techs, to get tossed?

Changed GMs, changed coaches twice, changed coaching staffs twice, overhauled the roster.

Same low IQ Jays. If you want to know why this team loks like they're playing in cement shoes half the year, they're your answer.

Philly handsy all night. And JT keeps turning the ball over. Still the same Tatum who complains from previous seasons.

he let a lot more go last season iirc. the refs letting these dudes slap and rap. i'd be pissed too.

My "immature stars" comment from earlier in the game aging too well. I hate it.

Is it me or has Mazzulla’s rotation has been garbage today. So many in and out lineups. Feels like the starters barely played with one another.

Tatum has been **** since that hornets game. Really soft and pathetic. And I don’t understand why we insist on him and Jaylen constantly dribbling the ball up, rhey both **** suck at it

And that's where it would be a coaching blunder.. Why not reward players who play hard and smart despite their so Called contract?

7 Turnovers and 2 technicals by Tatum in 3 quarters. Reminds me of the 1950’s college point shaving scandal.

Hal14 wrote:Damn it Tatum. Gotta keep your cool.

On the replay, it does kind of look like he got hit first and then after that extended his arms into Covington's face.

So maybe he has beef, maybe he got fouled first before he fouled them.

But he has to know to keep your cool, leave the refs alone and just play basketball..

and like the broadcasters are saying, he has to know that these refs tonight have had a quick trigger with the technicals.

Now we'll probably lose the game with Tatum ejected..

We were probably going to lose it with him
out there too.

7 turnovers with plenty more to come
