Morris having a career game.. Jeesh. Maybe a coaching change? I don't know. This team needs some leadership to fire them up

We should have been up double digits at the start of the third, ran no offense and let them hang around

Mook is playing him very closely 50 feet away from the hoop, that's why Tatum dribbled past him. And then as a result you had a mismatch with Mobley, which again Tatum took advantage of. That's what you want from your star if you are the Celtics and if you are the Cavs you want Tatum to pass that to Pritchard.

JB and Jrue might want to join in at some point.

But it's still about our defense. Cavs shooting 48/44/70 after 3.

As long as Tatum is this passive soft bitch, this team ain't going anywhere.

Anything can happen in 3 weeks.

Nuggets have not really been hampered by injuries so far.

I like Payton, but its always so rough when he is out there defensively.

Cant hide him on Morris, can't have him at the point of attack the next possession on the pick and roll. Yes I've seen those 'opponent' shooting %s so far, they tell us nothing.

Either our head coach is totally clueless or the players don't have one drop of respect for him.. It's either one or the other..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:
