@Itamar1710: Even though he was subbed out, Poku stood just outside of the corner and called for the ball, making his teammate pass it to him and commit a turnover

This is the funniest play I've seen all year @WorldWideWob https://t.co/xiYbzL43Xm

What the hell?

That is hilarious. But in fairness to Poku I think he was just putting his arms up anticipating his teammate was about to launch a three.

Yeah, I agree, but it was hilarious nevertheless

Watching Lonzo play defense on the perimeter is fun. Making the Boston guards work for everything

Welp, boston is now 15-15. That 4th seed is calling us lol. Even the 3rd seed is within reach with how bad the bucks are playing

Boston is 3-6 in their last 9 games. Not sure if they miss Smart that much, but they've lost to the likes of Detroit, Washington, Atlanta, and the Pelicans today after blowing a 20pt lead.

They're only 1.5 games ahead of us. I don't think they should be getting 2 All Stars when they're struggling this much.

Smart is their edge. They are a sub .500 team without him.

Weird that the Bulls are one of the better EC road teams. 7-7.
Philly is 7-8, Bucks 7-9. Celtics 7-10.

Just closing games at home like we're supposed to, and the Bulls could be a playoff team.

Boston has a bunch of talent but they're too much of a high end talent and not enough of a lunch pail edge team.
They need Smart back badly.

Kyrie is shooting the Nets out of this game in the 4th

Whoa. No interim.

I bet Wolves still suck and KAT asks out

That certainly wasnt Saunders fault. The team was sabataged by injuries and covid so far. But still if you get fired because of that and your replacement was hired in the same breath, they never wanted him anyway.

Saunders only got the job because of his dad. He was Boylen level bad.

Saunders was bad but the more important issue is roster construction and injuries. KAT is not a true franchise player and if they continue to allow it to be his team then they will never win anything.

Watching KAT and Rubio goes to waste in Minnesota is difficult. KAT is not the franchise player everybody made him to be at the start of his career, but he has talent and he can help many teams. And Rubio is still more than serviceable, especially that we don't have other real point guard outside of Sato.

Coby, Markkanen, OPJ for KAT, Rubio straight up works. I'd throw in lottery protected FRP, or top 10 FRP protected.

I'll preface this by saying I love Pat and his projection.... But damn at Halliburtons line today vs the Bucks!!

KAT without defense isn't worth using draft capital on and he doesn't want to play defense, just pad stats.

Really hope KAT gets out of this mess and proves how great he is elsewhere. Pretty obvious that a lot of people haven’t watched him play over the years. Maybe Chris Finch can actually do some good things for them, he worked with/under the right people for sure, but at the end of day their roster construction is just so terrible that I don’t know if anything can be done about it. Rosas is probably going to be super active at the deadline again...but that certainly hasn’t worked out last year.

BTW, firing a head coach, whether he deserves it or not, and signing the new guy like 5 seconds later is a pretty bad look, especially considering Finch still was an assistant in Toronto yesterday. He was Rosas‘ guy all along, but they could’ve made it a little less obvious.
