[Ogaju]

SMART is horrible

[esel1000]

What will it take for Brad to bench Theis? It’s clearly not working in this series...

[RPGenerate]

Smart is useless on offense.

He should never start for us

Everyone drank the coolaid after the Raptors series, thinking he deserved to consistently start.

Theis is having a wretched series

*postseason

Philly: outplayed by Kanter

Toronto: played poorly

Miami: looked like a G-Leaguer

Someone on Reddit said this:

"Stevens is a floor riser but not a ceiling riser"

Honestly if they lose tonight... I can't really argue with that?

Might be bang on, sadly.

Never heard it said that way, really interesting description.
He seems at a loss for what to do to get a team on the brink of success over the hump. Remember Game 7 ECF 2018 ? Game 7 at home to get to the finals and we come out terrible. Those two underdog runs to the NCAA Title games, only to lose both, may sum up his career perfectly.

Get them in foul trouble and we can live at the line

You know, I was all for the coach's challenge when they instituted it at the beginning of last year, but what I've seen of it thus far this seasons is a failure, and somehow it seems to have led to even more reviews. They've clearly made it a substantial threshold to overturn a call just to "pad their stats" and protect the refs, as I can recall numerous calls that were obvious upon review that they tried justifying with incidental or minimal contact that no reasonable ref would call a foul.

The whole officiating game needs majorly overhauled at this point. There is just way too much foul hunting going on now, which is a direct result of all of the rule changes to prioritize the offensive player and minimize even incidental defensive contact. Have to cut down on these crap foul hunting calls for the offense. Refs should absolutely not be as involved in these games as they are now.

There are players now, including Butler, who jerk their heads back on every play just trying to get a call, that should be an offensive foul.

And another Chroder flop.

Where I'm from, we call that they dookie headsnap.

They perfected that doosh science.

[SCeltic34]

Better defensive effort.  Still giving Robinson a bit too much space.

[RPGenerate]

Is Theis waking up?

[jpotter33]

At least better effort to come out this half.

Not me!

He's a 6MOTY candidate. Nothing to sneeze at, but that's his ceiling

We're right in this game
