I would shut the starters down for the rest of the season right now. Let them come out to the second half in street clothes and wave towels for Jaden Springer and Xavier Tillman

We'd have a better chance of winning our last remaining games if we sat out the starters. Seems like a win win. They have clearly checked out of the regular season.

Team hasn’t given a **** about games for weeks, don’t know why people act like it’s a new thing.

Barkley is right. If you're playing, can't half-ass it. We're going through the motions. Should've just sat then?

Tatum doesn’t have the competitive mentality. He doesn’t have the takeover mentality like other superstars have. All he does is complain for non calls.

Games?? We’re here talking about games?? Not the playoffs — not the playoffs — but games??

I don’t know about you guys but I’ve been done with the regular season for a good month.
Not just because of Boston but there’s so much lack of care league wide since all star break.
The playoffs can’t start soon enough.

Exactly!
We are building bad habits entering the playoffs. We also gave rivals the confidence over us.

Tatum just doesnt get it. Wheres the fire? Wheres the focus? He will never have it. Too many games like this in his career. A very good player but not an alpha and never will be

I would not be shocked at all if they were bounced in the first round. When things go wrong for this team, they really go wrong.

Why even play starters if they are not entirely engaged ??? NoTHING GOOD can come from such approach

Both this game and the Milwaukee game are nationally televised games.
Cs couldn't keep their star players out.

Just sit the starters, they have no interest in playing the right way

Nationally televised game.
Cs can't sit the starters because the NBA made that clear this season.
