yeah I meant offense, but even that they are 12th. Last time I checked (maybe 3 weeks ago? don't recall) I think they were like 7-8th but could be wrong on that too.

You really think it is time to get rid of Stevens? I think it is more bad personnel moves (as well as just a lot of bad luck tbh), they paid a small PG that is aging like small PG's age, Smart got hurt this year like he always does and they probably have the worst bench in the NBA. If someone has a worse bench, then I dunno who it is.

Ainge is more responsible than Stevens for this debacle; however, questions regarding Stevens abound.

Stevens flat-out couldn't handle the Irving roster/locker room. He was out-coached by both Nurse and Spoelstra in the bubble playoffs, and the current team is tissue paper soft - another late 4th meltdown tonight.

There is no defensive connectivity. Opponent lead guards get wherever they want to on the floor leading to kick out/ball movement open looks at the arc or drop dimes at the rim.

There is little to no flow on the offensive end. Side to side ball movement is non-existent. Hero/isolation ball abounds. They desperately need a point guard that can help Tatum and Brown get some easy buckets. Seven total free throws tonight is indicative of the lack of offensive end force.

It's a bad scene and likely to get worse before it gets better.

Fwiw, I only had a single Grant Williams "get him off the f*****g floor" scream tonight.

Sometimes you just gotta appreciate TJ McConnell.

FREE AARON GORDON!

He's gone from run of the mill scrappy gym rat to BONAFIDE STAR!

44-year old Mass.hole???

So he's turned into Bill "shitbag" Simmons now?????

Fuc.k that noise, go to Indiana!

Stevens to IU is the only real option here.

C'mon home Brad

i'm cool with the pacers beating the heat due to
1. wholesome triple double culture
2. giving them a 1.5 game lead on the raptors* for the playin game

I was on the Peleton watching end of regulation Bulls/Nuggs and my watch told me that my heart rate was too high, never had that happen.

Don’t forget to BREATHE Seadood.

BREATHE!

This is Jamal's career in a nutshell. Pass up the open C&T in favor of the pull-up.. So weird.

Not even watching OT AiML, gotta stay alive for the little d00d.

Rodney "Clitoral" Hood

He moved from statistically the worst place to shoot a 3 to the best place to shoot a 3, got a slightly more clean look and managed to take the last shot. I'm not sure all of that was a conscious decision, but everything was perfect there.

the mind boggling part is the defender trying to defend the lane for some reason and leaves the one shot open to the one player he shouldn't

It is NOT appropriate to use derogatory language when discussing Brad Stevens. Do you understand? It's not funny, it's not cool. you can criticize him as a coach or as a leader but cmon. cut it out.

(note to self)

yeah I'm done with the c's. I don't like them. I don't like the coach. This isn't big green. It's a feminization of the...anatta stop it. just...cmon dude. u really know nothing.

Losing to the Kangz always gets fans up in their feels. At least you weren't the Nuggets liking it so much they did it thrice.

wow

Bron should be making defensive 1st team this year.

what do they mean by "fix"?

Jokic does that all the time.

Ruh roh Lebron :-/

I wonder if Lebron knew he needed 3 points to maintain his million games in a row of double digit scoring.

He hurts his ankle and only has 7 points, stays in the game, immediately takes and hits a 3 making sure not to land on hurt ankle, then comes out 10 seconds later.
