I really **** hate Joe. So you don't use your timeout on 3 straight possessions. Even though you now know Cleveland is going to foul you instead of letting you get that 3 off.

Totslly makes sense to play the foul shot foul shot game.

He doesn't know what to do in close games.

Cause you ain't winning a title with Marcus and Williams.

I never suggested that?


That's why your question was dumb as hell. You want to swap the players but not return the title.

Jrue is for the playoffs. Not some bull game down two of your starters in December.

I asked if it was too late to return them, I didn't ask for a time machine to undo the trade.

Sadly the numbers disagree.


Yeah I don’t care about the numbers. He misses way too many at the rim in crunch time.

Yeah, a really exciting possession gets replaced by 10 FTs and 5 immediate fouls. It's awful.

Why. Do. You. Want. To. Return. Then?

You're unhappy with the title you got?

Tatum always looks for the foul instead of just making sure the shot goes in first. That blown wide open layup cost us the game. Together with all those missed wide open 3’s when we could have extended the lead. Also, how could you not double mitchell and make him give up the ball??? 11 straight clutch points jeez

Why didn't we just have PP shoot from 1/2 court?

They really had 4 straight possessions with no one on Mitchell.

As for Tatum. Hard to say anything bad about him when he's by far your best player but that was a pathetic 4th quarter.

Like really bad. This dude hasn't addressed his inside game in his entire NBA career.


I think it’s unfair to use Joe’s first year against him.


I don't.


He got put into the job a week before training camp lol
