Without KP/White, this would've been a blowout.

Even ChatGPT would coach this team better, or at least not worse.

I don’t understand why our least efficient player is entitled to more shots than White and KP on such a frequent basis.
Keep in mind that White and KP benefit from all the space that the Jays create by just being on the floor. They might not be as efficient without them.
I agree JT’s gravity is off the charts. Pretty underrated on this board. He brings so much to the team even when he misses shots.
JB is another story. Replace him with any role player that can quick hit and make the unselfish play and we will be fine. JB benefits from the gravity of KP and JT but he’s not smart or skilled enough to help us win a championship. His shot profile KILLS us.
A floater is the same amount of points as a highlight dunk. A ball fake to open player for boring lay up is still 2 points. JB just does not have THAT nuance and IQ
If JB came off our bench and shot 10 shots a game I swear I would never talk sh*t again. It kills us that he think he’s the #2 EVERY game
JB is as thick as bricks, but he's been playing well so I'm not ready to criticize him for a single off night. JT definitely has more gravity, but it's not like JB is standing alone in a corner.

Every big loss has its reasons and sometimes they are different. But reading some of the posts in here is comical. This loss was clearly on the jays.. If just 1 J shot reasonable, we'd win easy.. If they both played well we probably blow out Denver.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe..

Facts. Lot of people don't want to admit it. These dudes don't have that mental game needed for crunch time moments

I 100% agree with this and I’ll add the PP will be unplayable in playoff games as much as I love the kid .
We need someone that provides a combination of Hauser snd PP

The final score alone shows me that we played at the Denver Nuggets tempo. We let them control the game got to get the fat man jokic running up and down.

We already went through 3 coaches in the JT and JB era, still the same result. It's the players.

They added Jrue and Porzingas and white is better than ever yet JB and Tatum get to brick all the big shots. That's coaching. Do the same thing and expect different results. Insanity.

I think outside of the Jays getting outplayed (Jaylen sucked) and our supporting cast killing theirs, I think at some point we gotta acknowledge that not only is Joe an average coach, but that Tatum are Brown are just not great taking the final shot because they go for the fadeaway EVERY TIME
These plays look better if JT or JB are actively not seeking the rim in these moments

Monty Williams in 2024 is the worst coach in the league
I think Joe is an average coach and he has 4000x the system Monty does at this point
