JB’s handles…Tatum not being featured on offense. Tatum really needs to be more ball dominant, tired of him standing in the corner not even touching the ball in a lot of offensive possessions

What KP did - that's how you attack a closeout. That's what Tatum should've done before that.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Jaylen will have at least 3 turnovers a game. We just have to accept it.

Seriously....when are we gonna take the ball from this guy's hands in the backcourt?? How many times does he need to show us who he is?
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Spin moves on dribbles is very risky.

Just keep it simple.

Core of this team hasn't changed. Defensive pressure and physicality make them wilt.

Pretty much. Is ludicrous. He just got the ball stolen like a small child and it wasn't even for D or anything.

We opened up with a cross screen for Porzingis to set him up for a post up.


And he took a step back three, which is what the OP said.

Let's not forget Brad Stevens not trading Jaylen Brown when he had the chance.

I think his point was that we settled instead of trying to get inside. That's not what happened. The Raptors defended our actions which is why we had to take bad shots.

Can you imagine having 2 guards who may be All Star level and somehow brown is the one who gets the dribble a ball up.
