This is like the fifth time I said this in the second half but there is almost no player movement.. Sam Howser made 2 tough 3 point shots. But other than that there is nothing going on.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Yet plp think this team is well coached lol


Looks nice when they make a bunch but don’t expect it to last most of the time come playoff time. No adjustments made offensively by Joe this season we just have Porzingis who makes a big difference because he can score from anywhere which we didn’t have last season

Can't have an incomplete team and expect to win every game.

No team should ever expect to win *every* game. C'mon now..

Yeah, I don't mean it literally.

The point is the Cs are doing load management and they still expect or hoping that they win.

That's just not going to work in the NBA.

It will cost us games.

Tatum, Horford, Brown, Hauser each over 40% from 3 so far tonight.

Tatum, Horford, White, Hauser, Pritchard each under 50% from 2 so far tonight. And Brown has a higher percentage from 3 than from 2.

How can he save as many timeouts he can for the Bucks game.

Oh please. This game is far from over.

And the other game, we lost in OT, on the road, without D-White. And the refs admitted in the L2M report that they missed a call which would have resulted in Boston winning that game in regulation.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Jrue and DWhite have not been good offenmsively, especially Jrue. He's trying to get his on a game where he's 1-7 from three, 4-12 overall. Not what you want fro him.

Ugggh.

Bad Coaching.
Burning the Starters out. Not even Mid-way through the Season.

Bench?
What Bench???

This week I read a brazilian post criticizing the coaching style of Mazzulla. Lack of physical play, lack of driving to the rim more often and the gameplan always revolving around jacking up threes and hope they fall. At first I thought to myself "Meh, I don't think that's quite like that most of the time..." Yes, it is. Mazzulla is a **** coach.

Mazzulla did this same crap last year.

If Boston could actually get a stop maybe they'd have a shot of winning this game

Tatum should've been doing that from the jump tbh.

EDIT: My bad, McDaniels not on the floor.
