This is hilariously bad. Why don't we run actual offensive sets every time down the court?

A bit of Tatum hero ball without any of the other starters out there is understandable but is 75% of what we're doing. Then we run some Pritchard/Kornet pick and roll action while Tatum stands at the logo waiting to get to take a tough jumper while the clock winds down. We're regressing.

It just doesn't feel like we have an offensive identity with our non-starting lineup rotations and get into the bad habits that are the only time that starting lineup looks mortal.

What's wrong with running some pin down/hammer action specifically for Hauser? Or just immediately get into a Tatum pick and roll, let him get downhill and reset if there isn't an easy three for him on drop coverage or layup/kick on the drive? But doing it with 17 seconds left the clock not 7. Just have an actual plan every possession...

I love Joe but this is a coaching issue.

Remember when they used to consistently win against other benches with Tatum? What happened to that.

Tatum is a -2 in a game where Cs lead by 9. And that feels accurate.

One of Tatum's worst games in past month or so. Feels like he's overthinking.

Fight!

Defense to offense. More of the same. I'd bring back Horford and Tatum as soon as Jokic comes in.

Queta still has a lot of work to do but he has played well today

DeAndre Jordan is completely cooked. Wild that a decent NBA team is finding minutes for him :lol:

+4 in non-Jokic minutes in the 4th. Win it with D.

Hello Joe?? Where JT

ConstableGeneva · Post #174 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Sun Mar 2, 2025 8:14 pm

Come on, Cs, we're not losing another game we led by 20.

Post #175 » by **Froob** » Sun Mar 2, 2025 8:14 pm

Jokic making 3s now at such a high rate is ridiculous

ConstableGeneva · Post #176 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Sun Mar 2, 2025 8:14 pm

JT not even asking for the ball.

ConstableGeneva · Post #177 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Sun Mar 2, 2025 8:16 pm

C's trying to iso their way to a win.
