Why? Joe wont play them anyways...

Look at Queta, We were 11-1 when he was in the rotation, and Joe just when back to his old rotation after Kornet got healthy.

Lol the best team all year ... a couple of bad games and the board is in shambles .... hilarious

Low scoring game but Cs needed to defend better. We couldn't stop anyone tonight. Even their role players are going off.

Why I wanted Porzingis to play if he's good enough to play.

Hard to gauge without our full roster.


Porzingis makes a massive difference because he’s clearly the third best player on the team sometimes with impact as the #1 guy. Seems to be the most clutch too. But like you said we don’t see him enough because of the rests they keep giving against good teams too.

Anderson and Alexander making these shots in the clutch is crazy.

Nice job resting Porzingis again. Team is full of themselves. Tatum should not have sat last game, Porzingis shouldn’t have sat today. Now we are gonna lose both games and are gonna have to fight to keep the 1 seed instead of having a comfortable cushion just a few days.

Arrogance is what it is. They think they're special, they're not.


Yup. You would think they’re the nuggets are who are the actual champs. This team ain’t good enough to be having their main guys resting against playoff teams all the time

It’s not arrogance. It’s called being cautious.

This team won’t win **** without Porzingis. They have every right to play it as safe as possible with him.

This game doesn’t define our season.

Celtics losing because the Wolves are pulling Horford out of the paint and the Wolves roll players are roasting Jrue/White in the paint.

This is what 95% of the posts look like that bash Mazzulla. They just bash him, without giving any kind of logical reasoning to back up their opinion.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

So now it's Alexander-Walker's time to cook? If literally anyone is getting whatever they want against you, that's just pathetic defense.

That's a great defensive possession by JB. Get more stops.

When will people stop witn the coaching. This group is soft as well. I don’t care who coaches them

They played better under Ime. They actually looked like an amazing defensive team under Ime.

Can't get a stop. Mine as well through Queta in there.

Best team all year... Tell me once more what happened last year on the playoffs. Tell me whats happening now against the Wolves. It's the same damn thing. Things are repeating when they shouldn't. You're just as clueless or chose to be blind. You really think this team can win a championship with this style of playing? Nah, you trippin'
