They have one in DWhite but it's always the Js bringing it up and seemingly exclusively JT in the 4th

and that should change

THIS IS MAZZULLA-BALL SUMMED UP IN A SINGLE PHOTO

whenever you can pursue an easy opportunity for a near-sure two ...
ALWAYS pass it up to attempt a 3

it is perfect dumbness and without a huge talent advantage (or the other teams star being hurt) the disadvantage is simply too much to overcome

To me this shot summed up the brain dead nature of Tatum, Mazzulla and this team.

He has a wide open **** lane. You’re not Steph Curry, you’ve been shooting like **** for two games.

At minimum Brunson is going to be forced to grab you, likely though you can go straight by for a dunk.

Soon as I saw this miss I knew we’d probably lose.

When the opponent scores 8+ unanswered points, call a timeout. When you have the last possession, call a timeout. Very simple, algorithmic things. This guy is just dumb. I don’t know how else to say.

2 for 3 there.

I want a new coach. KP needs to be on another team.

Brown is playing with a bad knee. Tatum is a choker as I've said many times and gotten heat. But I want both of them to stay.

Jrue and Al weren't nearly as good this season as they were last season. I didn't expect Boston to repeat. I thought Tillman could have helped us this season, but Joe refused to play him. We have no bigs left on this team.

Brad needs to look for a new coach. Maybe Cassell. He also needs to find a 20 and 10 type of big who can play defense and score in the post.

But time to come to grips that this team is done for.

Even scraping past the Knicks in 6 or 7 means nothing when the final boss is OKC, not a chance.

It was a fun run everybody but the new ownership will rightfully make big moves and I would too.


They might have won a ship but this group is dumb as rocks. They have nothing on the big 3. Wished the big 3 had been younger and had more chances at multiple titles.

My 20 year anniversary on this site was yesterday and they go out and play like this. For shame.

There were 12 seconds left. You waste a good 3-4 bringing the ball to the other end, which is why you HAVE to call timeout there to preserve the clock. Asinine coaching decision not to call one there.

Joe has to go if they don’t win series.

That said, Horford and KP both gone leaves us with Kitner, Quetta and Tillman. They would need to go get a big.

Knicks are playing heavy minutes as well. Celtics had their rest unlike the Knicks. Knicks mentally tougher.

Imagine having a historically stacked roster that is going to fail to repeat because your coach is a dumbass

Worst part about tonight is Brunson didn’t even play well.

Didn’t even play well really in game 1 either and yet you’re down 2-0.

WTF
