Tatum sucks

[Bill Lumbergh]

It is clear Mazzulla doesn't know how to draw plays.

Brad was sick with those.

My worry with Joe is he’s too analytical driven with the 3 point attempts. He fails to make any adjustments until it’s too late.

Yet he has the highest winning % of any coach in league history.

I know it's only a small sample size and I know it's only the middle of season 2 for him, but winning % in the regular season counts for naught when you are a title contender. Really it comes down to title or bust

That wasn't really the point of my post. I wasn't just randomly bragging about his winning %.

I was replying to a guy who said "My worry with Joe is he’s too analytical driven with the 3 point attempts. He fails to make any adjustments until it’s too late."

Which to me, that comment implies that he loses a lot of games...like we have a losing record or something.

"He fails to make any adjustments until it's too late".

Just seems like an odd statement to make about the coach with best record in the league and highest winning % in league history. That's all..

Pistons have 1,000 second chance points off their 800 offensive rebounds.

[Jammer]

Porzingis, White or Horford should have taken the last shot, unless Tatum was committed to driving with the intent to FINISH and not look for a foul. Still, an 8 footer is better than Tatum's usual 3 from 3 feet behind the line. Giving Tatum the last shot on a night he's 11-29 is ???

[King Of The 4th]

Surely we're due for an OT win for a change?

[Celts17Pride]

Well at least the Celtics are getting rest for tomorrow’s game

[Setshot33]

These Celtics, this core group of Tatum,Brown and Horford...just not a serious group much less serious contenders.

Same BS mistakes/behaviors year after year.

[BK_2020]

Much rather have KP taking the clutch shots.

No idea why it couldn’t have been KP.

He takes too long to go into his moves.

[meatball sub]

we were up 6 & then completely blew it

[Kalela]

JT hasn't hit a buzzer beater in years

Bank shot against the Bucks was the last time he made a game winning buzzer beater.

It is clear Mazzulla doesn't know how to draw plays.

Doc Rivers got Paul and Ray Allen dozens of good looks to win games. Surely it can’t be rocket science..

[tfmiii]

Get Al out

[Shamrock]

We can’t finish out games. Fully expecting the Pistons to get hot and win by 5+

[playa-hater]

By the way our coach has basically played eight guys today.. And in case you are unaware this is the 2 win piston team

[VeryMuchWoke]

KP >>>> Tatum

I mean, that fadeaway jumper Tatum just missed. He took that same shot during crunch time tons of times when Brad was the coach.

Sometimes he made them, sometimes he's missed them. But it's a good look. Tough to get a better look than that with only 4 seconds on the clock and the opposing team loading up to try and stop your best player (Tatum) from getting the ball..

[VeryMuchWoke]

JT hasn't hit a buzzer beater in years

Bank shot against the Bucks was the last time he made a game winning buzzer beater.

The fact that that's a highlight for him is pathetic.

The good news is Brad will trade some of these guys in the near future if he thinks it will help the team.

[meatball sub]

zinger in the post is lethal. just do that every possession. stop giving it to tatum at the top of the key
