At what point does Brad or the assists help coach Joe with adjustments?

[return2glory]

At what point will couch potato QBs realize they don’t have a clue and that there is a reason coach is on the sidelines and they are yelling at the TV.

No one is yelling at the TV. It's not that serious. Not a coach potato person either. You're comments are plain ignorant. Two games in a row Kornet has gotten abused. Against Mobley in game 5 and again by Turner in the 2nd quarter that changed the entire game, in a 3-4 minute span. The entire momentum swung from Boston to Indiana. Joe sticks to his 7 or 8, no matter the match ups. Mazzulla is good at a lot of things but making in game adjustments isn't one of them. It took him a year and a half to finally get better at calling time outs.

Hold up… you guys don’t yell at the tv??? Also (insert blue font) everyone just chill out. We’re up 1-0 so let’s all follow the advice ourselves in the quoted post in that “it’s not that serious”. I get there have been concerns in our recent play despite wins, but no reason to take it to the point of name calling and/or personal attacks. It’s ok to disagree… just move on or respectfully discuss it further if you’re able to.

I don't yell at my TV when things are going HASH up for us, i just punch my pillow on my bed really really hard

As for the premise to the OP, I believe in Brad and Joe, and generally not comfortable with the CEO of the team trying to meddle/interfere in coaching matters. Seen this happen to other teams (in other sports and leagues around the league) and it never ends well.

Going small is something they've not even experimented with it seems. We had an experiment game where we had KP defending the 3pt line, but I don't recall any significant reps with a smaller, quicker, switchable line up.

What do you guys think about that?

[Riverwalk2021]

Somebody needs to step in and prevent 2nd row Joe from sabotaging us. Kornet and Hauser are completely unplayable this deep in the POs, and Pritchard is getting to that point. They are getting hunted on defense relentlessly. Tillman, Brissett, and Queta can't be any worse.

That KP injury is like a house of cards effect.

To answer the OP, at what point? The off-season if necessary.

[He_Got_Game]

When is Brad or the assists coaches going to step in a help coach Joe with making adjustments? Joe is good at some things but is terrible with creativity and making in game adjustments. He sticks to the same rotation no matter what and it nearly cost of game one. Had it not been for Brown's tough corner 3, this is a 0-1 series favoring the Pacers.

Almost every Celtic coach that watched this game knows what lack of adjustments I'm talking about. The Celtics assists know what I'm referring to. The Celtics owners knew what I'm alluding to. So does Brad.

Take Kornet out of the rotation. We were controlling the game in the 2nd quarter and Luke comes in and the Pacers immediately attack him. Turner scored 10 straight on him and assisted on another play after beating Kornet off the dribble. Our 10 or 12 point led was gone. The momentum switched to the Pacers side, all because Joe fails to see the obvious at times.

Evan Mobley destroyed Luke in game 5 of the Cavs series. Turner destroyed him in this game. When does Brad or any of the assists help Joe with this adjustment? Joe can't see it. Brad needs to have a meeting with him one on one and point this out. Everyone else can see it but Joe.

Brad went out and got Tillman for a reason. Just last season Tillman was starting in the playoffs and battling Anthony Davis and giving Davis a hard time. Tillman can challenge Turner for 12-18 minutes a game and impact the game.

The second adjustment Joe needs help with is inserting Oshae Brissett instead of Hauser, who has struggles in this playoffs.
This game should have been a 10-15 point win and we almost gave it away because Joe isn't capable of making in game adjustments. Brad sees this and isn't stepping in. This is a team game. We are close to a title and if Brad isn't pointing out minor adjustments to help the team on a quest to a title, than he is doing a disserve to the Celtics. For the record, I love Brad. He is a basketball genius. He shouldn't let this go just because he doesn't have to hurt Joe or Luke's feelings. This is about a title.

I agree with all of this. The only change I would make is Queta over Tillman. I don't care about contract status and all of that. All I care about is winning and which players bring a specific skill set that will help the Celtics win. I believe Queta offers size and toughness that the Celtics currently lack. I believe he should be getting minutes in these playoffs for that skill set alone. I agree about Brissette though.

I agree that to meddle/interfere is generally not a good idea. But there is always a respectable way to do things. In this case, I'm suggesting more in the lines of Brad getting in the film room with Joe and looking at that 2nd quarter when Kornet came in and Turner went on a run single handedly to get his team back in the game. Brad is Smart enough to approach Joe and say this is what I'm seeing and I want to get your input on who else we can have guard Turner. It would come from an approach of improving our chances of winning games and winning another title. Instead of sitting back and hoping for someone on the team to make a tough 3 point shot to just get us to overtime. Celtics are extremely lucky to be up 1-0 right now. Thank God for Brown's big time 3 in the closing seconds to send the game into OT. And the lucky play before that because all the Pacers had to do was catch the inbounds pass and the game was over.

[return2glory]

Finally Oshae Brissett got to play. Too bad it took an injury to Kornet for Joe not to stick to his same 8 game rotation. D White said after that the game that Brissett was huge for the team and changed the game for us.

Some people don't want to admit how important good role players are. For the record, I love Kornet and Hauser. I just don't want them as part of our 8 man rotation in the playoffs. I want Pritchard, Tillman and Brissett to be the first 3 guys off our bench.

Yeah, if it gets to this, Sam Cassell becomes the next head coach of the Celtics.

He was a terrible front office person so not exactly the best endorsement for Joe

i checked his bio. His front office experience says less about his ability to judge coaches than it might.

On the other hand, he was an awful coach himself. That seems like a more solid reason to question his coaching assessments.
