JT had a good quarter, just give us another good one and it's 2-0

Oshae needs to keep playing and if he doesn’t Joe needs to be fired.

Tatum is such a late starter.
He often doesn't get cooking until midway through the 3rd Qtr.

I guess if he hits it then he’s truly back cause the three is such a big part of the game. I thought that was gonna go down cause whenever he’s confident the basket becomes huge. Sadly his 3 point shot is still not there

Wrong answer, but I expected you to duck that anyways. No surprise.

Hilarious how you want to blame a coach to suit your silly agenda.

I guess it was Joe as a back seat assistant who made them play soft drop coverage on Curry in the 2022 finals right?

I guess it was Joe that caused Rob Williams knee to be shot so he wasn’t the same player defensively?

Get real dude


You LITERALLY just said they were soft defensively last year. I just pointed out to you what changed lol I just pointed out why a DPOY went from that to nothing, like YOU just mentioned lol

Stay mad though lol

I also said they were soft defensively the season before in games.

We had a stretch up until the 2022 finals where we played all time great d.

Hasn’t happened since and it’s a mindset thing with Tatum, Brown and Horford.

The Jays tried to go for the kill shot instead running offense. Don’t do that **** to start the 4th

We needed 2 injuries from our centers to get to this point.That's how bad our coach is..


The worst part is, he probably doesn't even know it's good and won't come back to it if Kornet is ready to go next game.

Nesmith is out with foul trouble. That seemed to have unlocked him.


Nesmith is fearless, reckless and sometimes brainless on offense.. but he makes huge impact on defense.. Way too many posters don't give him enough credit for that.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Brissett can actually keep up with Turner inside, and switch on wings in the perimeter much better than Al
