The disrespect directed towards Joe needs to stop.

[ThePigeon]

So what they were supposed to double both Brunson & Bridges at the same time ? lol

No
Did you watch the game?
Bridges went off to score 8 points when Brunson was on the bench
And I suggested to get the ball out of Brunson hands

But facts doesn't matter

Alright let's talk "facts".

The Celtics were up 12 after three quarters (73-61). After the Bridges "run" while Brunson sat, the Celtics lead was down... to 12 (84-72 when Brunson checks in at the 6:39 mark). That is not what a run is.

Here are the Bridges shots during that stretch:
Bridges makes a contested off the dribble 18 foot fadeaway jumper (https://www.nba.com/stats/events?CFID=&CFPARAMS=&GameEventID=463&GameID=0042400212&Season=2024-25&flag=1&title=Bridges%2018%27%20Fadeaway%20Jumper%20(2%20PTS)) over PP
Bridges makes an uncontested off the dribble 9 foot fadeaway after a miscommunication between Horford and Porzingis
(https://www.nba.com/stats/events?CFID=&CFPARAMS=&GameEventID=470&GameID=0042400212&Season=2024-25&flag=1&title=Bridges%209%27%20Fadeaway%20Jumper%20(4%20PTS))
Bridges makes a contested catch and shoot three from the wing over Jrue Holiday (https://www.nba.com/stats/events?CFID=&CFPARAMS=&GameEventID=476&GameID=0042400212&Season=2024-25&flag=1&title=Bridges%2026%27%203PT%20Running%20Jump%20Shot%20(7%20PTS)%20(McBride%201%20AST)) Jrue arrives late. Fairly uncontested
Bridges misses a fairly uncontested off the dribble three point shot in transition (https://www.nba.com/stats/events?CFID=&CFPARAMS=&GameEventID=482&GameID=0042400212&Season=2024-25&flag=1&title=MISS%20Bridges%2025%27%203PT%20Running%20Pull-Up%20Jump%20Shot)
Bridges makes an fairly uncontested off the dribble 13 foot fadeaway (https://www.nba.com/stats/events?CFID=&CFPARAMS=&GameEventID=519&GameID=0042400212&Season=2024-25&flag=1&title=Bridges%2013%27%20Fadeaway%20Jumper%20(9%20PTS))

This isn't a defense that's breaking down and allowing layups or straight line drives to the rim. That's an ice cold (to that point) shooter draining pull up jumper after pull up jumper over the contest.He has like one clean look over that sequence.

I added my remarks in bold
No defense breaking down, but not enough resistance. He and Deuce were the only ones capable of creating something on offense.
He then added a driving layup on Jrue (contested by Kornet) and an open 3 in transition. But this is not the point here

Well, I guess that JT was also ice cold so NY just eased the pressure off of him

Let's just stop here and agree to disagree
I am just saying that Joe didn't do a good job to put the team in the best place to win this game. You can disagree, but as a matter of fact we are 0-2. Joe and the players (mainly JT and JB) should be better

[The Corey's]

I want my apology.

[Floody100]

I want my apology.

What a stupid thread.

Joe will never be why they win. But he will almost certainly be a major reason they lose.

You’re not the sharpest too in the shed. By saying he’s never the reason why they win, you’re saying the players should be winning on their own.

Why are they down 0-2 ?

You didn’t answer my question therefore you didn’t prove any point you dimwit

Tell me. If the players are the only reason we win, then why aren’t you only blaming them if they lose ?
You’ve made it quite known that Joe has nothing to do with their success. If he has nothing to do with their success then the players should be able to figure it out themselves right ? That’s why that rational makes absolutely no sense.

Now do me a favour & read it three times so you actually understand it.

By the way, how’s your “Celtics in 5” prediction going ?

I'm sure your back to back insults will earn you a week ban. I know they have for me.

It's not my fault you made a post praising the heavens for Joe and then he immediately proved exactly what some of us have been saying all along. He's out of his elements and will cost us at some point.

You can blame the players all you want dawg. They're doing exactly what their coach wants them to do.

So does that mean Joe gets credit for winning the championship last year ?

I thought I made it clear but since you are hard in comprehension I will say it again. Even though in the game day thread I said it in that lead to this thread was pretty obvious.

Any coach in the league can win with this talent. They win on sheer volume of skill.

They lose when the team loses focus on the goal and can't be corraled when they are fallen apart.

That's on the coach.

It's so easy to say shoot volume 3s and play the percentages when you have 5 shooters on the court at any given time.

Love to see him pull off that strategy with the Jazz.

So yes, just for you, one last time, I'll confirm what your eyes haven't done for you. Joe and his coaching will cost us games, the talent and the players will otherwise make up that deficiency on most nights by being 4 or 5 guys deeper than the next team.

Anyway. You were a man and and apologized so I forgive you for your petty insults.

If talent is the be all & end all then why couldn’t the Suns even make the play-in ?

Booker & Durant are a talented enough duo to make the playoffs. It’s almost as if coaching matters to a team’s success …

If your bar is that Joe would of had them in the play in game then I rest my case.

You’re avoiding the question again.

You said talent was what made a team successful, not the coach. KD & Booker are two of the most talented players in the league. Why didn’t they win more games than they should have ?

You're going in circles. You're not going to find anywhere on earth where I said the suns were a good team. They blow.

They finished where they should finish for two dudes who don't play a lick of defense.

They didn't win because it's a two way league and the west is incredibly deep.

Anyway. You're giving Joe 50% of the credit and it bit you in the ass. Just own it man. We all have bad takes.

I gave Joe enough credit last year to not be bad enough to **** it up. Like he did the year before and like he's doing now.

The evidence is in the results. Even you know they're currently flaming out in spectacular fashion.

I don't know what's worse dawg. The three out of time out plays he drew up to end game 1 in regulation and overtime to win the game or the timeout he called to let them make their own decisions on the fly but according to you it's amazing coaching hahahahhahahhahaa.

Dawg is fired after next year.

You stated talent is the reason for success, not coaching. That gets thrown out the window when you look at the Suns.

It’s like I’m talking to a brick wall.

YOU SAID TALENT IS THE DECIDING FACTOR IN SUCCESS. KD & BOOKER ARE TALENTED. THEY DON’T WIN THAT MANY GAMES. WHICH MEANS COACHING IS IMPORTANT TO A TEAM’S SUCCESS.

I made sure to put this in bold so you’d hopefully understand.
