Celtics (1-1) at Pacers (2-0) Game #3 12/27/20

think Brad needs to start going to Jaylen more often when the game is on the line.  at least he drives and he's showing more ability to pass to open teammates.  he can also finish with contact.

Jaylen also has his own fair share of clutch buckets. Means naught because Brad loves feeding the golden boy garbage shots

I am starting to fall into the fire brad camp.

He makes no changes, holds no one accountable and is not good at development.

Brown and tatum are not on brad and exclusively on themselves. He has developed no one.

I'm not a Brad apologist, but this is silly. You've had players that have come through here and had their best years under Brad. Evan Turner, Jordan Crawford, Isaiah Thomas. There's a lot of things Brad can improve, but developing players or getting more out of them than others coaches have isn't one of those things.

its starting to look like those players were just playing for their contract years.

Only a lucky 3 point bank shot is standing in the way from an 0-3 start.

It's disheartening when Tatum tries to do too much.  5 turnovers based on forcing things that weren't there.  He's a great player. But I think he is taking on too much responsibility too soon.  It is hurting the team.

Silver lining: Rob Williams really stepped up tonight.  Hope to see that trend continue.

And kudos to Payton Pritchard.  He played quite well.

Jaylen needs to assert himself more, especially at the end of games. 

On to Indy. Part Deux.  With a rested VO.

Brad doesn't sound too happy about that last shot

he should say that it was a BAD shot not a tough shot, A BAD SHOT!!

Still not a great excuse.  Have a backup plan if they guard your initial action well and deny it.

Defense next game please. Should be able hold the Pacers to 100or less.


I hope Theis is ok.

TIMELORD and Pritchard could make our bench dangerous.

It sounds like Tatum just went with the worst option. Stevens, in his way, insinuated as much.

Tatum needs to trust his team mates more.

Dude is even dodging questions on obvious major issues with our team that he has been helpless to solve for seasons now.

"why do your teams keep taking quarters off for several years now?"

Brad: "I don't know what your talking about..."

Obviously does not know how to coach or play BIGS. Since he is grading his BIGS why doesnt he tell us who his best wing was tonight.
