Porzingis is obviously a huge difference maker, along with white turning super saiyan, and then you have Hauser and PP playing better this season. But I personally don’t think Holiday is bringing a huge impact like the media likes to mention.

lol come on.

He was completely off tonight but he’s been great all season.

Sometimes people just have an off night.

I think I saw Smart get murdered defensively like that last season in at least 10-15 games.

Ridiculous. Jrue didn’t play well. He’s been excellent lately. And his defense has been excellent. SGA is a beast. You have to out size on him.

He was questionable for the game and clearly the arm was bothering him, as he was rubbing and shaking it out during the game. Missed some point blank stuff he would normally make.

More than expendable, they would be a better team if they traded JB for solid role players and picks. JB's low BBIQ has reared its ugly head too many times.


We just need Jaylen to play like he has the past 6 weeks.

One game shouldn’t ruin that lol.

Brown has been stellar this year. Our fans here think we should be 33-0.

This board can be insufferable at times with the overreactions.
We just going to forget the last month he had & focus on one game like we always do when someone has a stinker lol

I want to see it against real playoff-style defenses. Tonight was a great test for him. And a clear failure. Pressure him, speed him up, and he'll play you out of the game.

Sorry.. Not sorry.


We were down by 18 with half a quarter left & almost came back to win & thats one of your main takeaways ?

Some of you posters are pathetic when it comes to your analysis on Joe.


If you are confident with Joe in a tight playoff series than that's on you.. Sick and tired of people saying I am supposed to like and/or be confident with Joe. I am not.. So many **** sheep...
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

I thought he didn’t panic. He benched Jrue, and played the end game flawlessly.

Kinda the other way around no? We've forgotten the last few years because of the last six weeks?

I’ve said it 30 times. At any given time, White is our second best player and our first is a three-seat game of musical chairs on any given night. But D White always brings it, no off nights.


Our first is absolutely not a three seat game of musical chairs lol.


The hell it isn’t. Rewind through any of our games, you’ll have one of JT, JB or KP having a standout game and one of the others a pumpkin.

I somewhat consider it a luxury but still a double edged sword that we don’t have a #1 go-to night in and out.

D White is our rock


We absolutely do have that lol. Tatum averages almost 20 touches a game more than the next closest player. He’s averaging 27/9/5 on a 60% TS, Jaylen is at 23 on a 57% TS, KP is at 18 on a 65% TS.

If you have a guy the defense sells out to shut down, you have a #1 guy. And as has been shown here with multiple stats over the years, Tatum is one of the most aggressively defended guys in the league.

White is incredible, no argument here. But there’s no way you don’t believe this team has a clear cut best player.

KP is a huge acquisition, but I can’t say the same for Jrue. He was really good once, when they won the title. Those days are gone now.

Why did Kornet play so many minutes? What did he do in those minutes? Joe is a strange guy, I don’t understand him.

JB probably their best player over the last month, has a terrible game, everyone comes rushing back. Its kinda pathetic actively rooting against your own player

Joe was fine tonight, IMO. And I don't even like him!

But Jaylen was a trainwreck and Jrue was a shipwreck.

SGA is just ridiculously good and i seriously don’t think I’ve seen many teams bother him at all this season.

Holiday just looked rattled which is unlike him

He doesn't bench Jrue when he did, this team loses by 25 tonight


That was a sign of "Accountability" I have been screaming for. Problem is it's Tatum and Brown who get away with murder..

You don't bench Tatum unless you're giving up. Brown maybe but who are you putting in? It's not like Al or Hauser was popping off

Kornet/Horford lineups didn't work, Joe benching Jrue was good. Joe was fine tonight. They lost because Jaylen and Jrue


No I mean allowing Tatum to forever take those low Pct. Ill advised 3s that he does way too regularly. And Brown definitely needs to get his minutes cut (like Jrue) when he is playing out of control and missing everything. I mean it's one thing riding a hot-hand but it is also something to take out the Ice cold hand.
