Bummer.I think many people that have played sports at any level have pushed a teammate at some point. I doubt there are lingering sentiments in a week, but who knows really...In any case, I kinda liked watching that. Shows that they're frustrated losing. Shouldn't we be more concerned if they were smiling and high-fiving?Also, kind of curious.... what are the other hints?

He gave us a chance.”Yet 0 minutes in the first half, even though both Al and Theis were awful.So Stevens saw how bad the C's were inside in the first half, made an adjustment by putting in Williams, and the solution worked...but you are still critical that.....what?.....Stevens didn't notice sooner?

Teams and players do fall flat on these kind of games. This is why we blew out the Pacers by that much the other night.We do tend to overreact both to wins and losses I figured it would be Jaylen, Gordon and Al to collectively play the piñata role tonight. From heros to zeros in one night! Agree 100%. I have to admit I am a bit worried about Al's knee. If he is struggling physically, then by all means hold him out of back to backs. Al played really well in the beatdown against the Pacers last night. He is really important to this team, if he needs to sit on back to backs until the playoffs please sit him.

We were down by 19 at half, Nick. An earlier substitution could've very well softened that lead heading into the halftime, especially with Al so bad tonight, which would've helped with the comeback effort.It's not rocket science. It was clear from the get-go that Theis wasn't able to contain Whiteside, and quite frankly, this should've been expected by Brad even before he got in there, as that's Theis' M.O. against big guys like Whiteside. Williams has showed enough at this point to be the back-up to Al when Baynes is out on nights we play against bigger, more athletic bigs like Whiteside.

My one takeaway was, yes you can suck on any given night, to a worst team, after the best game you played all season, BUT there is no way in hell you don’t attempt a single FT in the first half, while shooting 30 something percent from the field.
QuoteI think Brad Stevens has been off the hook for too long. He needs a fair share of blame and criticism too.
