Nah, there are some truly awful teams in this league that are committed to the tank. We'll end up somewhere in the middle, which is the worst place to be.



This team stinks dude. I doubt they’re gonna win many games tbid year. They just don’t have many scorii g options.


Which is why I always laughed when people called the Celtics an elite supporting cast. Without Tatum, majority of team is terrible

Cs are just too small.

This is on Joe.
Joe is using the wrong combination.

I don't know why the special treatment for Hauser when clearly Sam is a one trick pony on offense and on defense he easily gets pushed around.

And Cs are getting killed by 2nd chance pts from offensive rebounds by the Knicks.

Knicks are just better.

The lottery system kills it for me. Even if we did fully commit to the tank there's a very real chance we get screwed like the Hornets, Jazz and Wizards did last season.

I’m really at a loss for words on how bad our big rotation is. This is probably the worse big man rotation in the NBA.

You lost Kornett, KP, and Horford and you replaced them with no one.

New York D is too much and much of the problem is Pritchard and Hauser cannot create their own shots. Neither of these guys are starting lineup material.

One of the worst front courts of all time meets one of the worst coaches of all time. No surprise here. Tatum carried this team hard.

12 offensive rebounds for Knicks. Defense and rebounding will be a struggle every night

Not probably, it is. This might be one of the worst front courts in NBA history.

There is so much. I will add eventually, but to me. The number one issue I see is. How does our best bench player, ib Mynot, basically, the only one who has not come off the bench. Shuffling all kind of lineups in and out is the exact thing that will get us a top three pick..

Thank god we have joe for that. 8-)
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Peterson would fit very well with Tatum and Brown. Elite defender. Great off ball, plays downhill

Get Minott and Hugo in there.
We need some more tenacity.

We might be the worst team in the NBA considering Joe can't coach his way out of a wet paper bag.
