Man, I usually cut Brad some slack, and have been waiting until the playoffs before judging him.

But for gods sake, at some stage these games have become important. We're going to end up as the 5th seed if we're not careful. No more "it's a meaningless regular season game", because they're not.

Just get this deficit to 6-8 by halftime and regroup.

I also wouldn't be against just letting Horford, Kyrie or Tatum shoot from here on out. They literally are the only ones who've shown up.

BULLS BY 15   ::) ::)

it is plainly obvious this team only plays when they want

i have seen enough

brad cannot keep them ready consistently

sadly that will cost us seeding spots and homesourt

oh well

it is going to cost us once we get to the playoffs as well.  You can't just turn effort on and off. This team needs to learn to play hard and give max effort against every team.  I have the feeling it is too late in the year to learn that lesson.

INGLES WANNABE FOR THREE

has 17 on half!  ::) ::) ::)

And our Max Hayward has zip...this is going to be a looooonggg night.

even Brad could never figure this team out.
Was wondering when you'd come back with these posts, after being mysteriously quiet for a while.

Im always here dude...
Just stating the facts. Hayward plays bad whenever we have Kyrie... he just gets back to his shell and I would never know why he does this...

He had 3 good games prior to the AS break but now after a week off he has fogotten how to play basketball again.

Hayward made a big defensive mistake there.  You're supposed to switch Gordy.

Meanwhile, Lakers down 15 to the AD-less Pelicans, 9 minutes to go.

For all the good he’s done DA screwed up the trade deadline by not finding an actual backup pg.

second quarter has been a train wreck for the whole team.  reached the end of my rope with Rozier.  sit him in favor of Wanamaker the rest of the game.

I would think it's playing a lot of minutes alongside Rozier that hurts him. He never gets used right (which is on Brad) and that ices him.

Bad coaching to not use your players in their best role.

That quarter lasted an eternity.  Feels like we should be down more than 13 with that pathetic performance.  I hope there's some heated exchanges in the locker room after that one.

This team actually feels like the old Lebron Cavs to me... I actually think they’ll bring it every game in the playoffs. Problem is at this rate they won’t even have homecourt in the first round.

I didn’t notice Stevens out there playing like garbage.

You spelled season wrong.
