Does this sound familiar?

"I just think the game went south on us quickly and we got demoralized...I think without **** and **** out there I think we were a little bit rudderless when things went south. We didn't have the internal fight that we needed to kind of get over the hump."

"Our team has been built on sharing the ball...When you move the ball in this game, that's when the magic happens, when you build an energy, a karma, the shots tend to go in if you move the ball and you share it. And I just saw one possession after another tonight that was one pass and a shot. We've got to play for each other and I didn't think we did that tonight."

"As a young player, a lot of guys try to do too much...I think that's what's happening with **** right now. I think he's such a gifted guy, and he's always been able to do whatever he wanted on the floor, but the NBA, the game happens so fast that you just have to sort of strip it down to 'let's be good at the things that I can be good at right now and then my game will expand as we go forward.'"

Sounds a lot like Brad, doesn't it? It's Steve Kerr talking about the Dubs after they got caned by 50+ by Toronto.
Apparently if you don't scream like a manchild after every loss, you just don't care.

Kerr >. Stevens.  Do you really want to offer Kerr as your example of Stevens’ style or personality? Kerr is not a quiet coach. He lashes out at his players, the refs, and the NBA.

Disagreed. Some sentences sound like CBS, like the part about being demoralized and the lack of fight to get over the hump. But the accountability Kerr demands from his players isn’t something you see from CBS very often.

We usually get a “We’ve got to be better, I’ve got to be better” type of response from Brad.

Sound about right. Snake bitten like no other.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

The Celtics are the 8 seed. Yet they are also just 1.5 games back of a 4 seed LOL

Man.  I like Jrue’s game, but I don’t $40M/year like Jrue’s game, lol.  That’s a ton.

Kinda seems like one of those "[dang]ed if you do, [dang]ed if you don't" kinda moves.

Expensive but necessary.  Not as star powered as the Nets but Giannis/Middleton/Holiday is probably the best 3 man core overall.

Edit:  Also the numbers are coming from Holiday's agent.  The contract might be more like a 140M guarantee with incentives to get to 160M.  That's how his current contract was structured.

Jrue is having a career year when it comes to his shooting and scoring efficiency. I just don't think he is going to be able to replicate that for four 4 more years at $35-40 million a year.

If he returns to his usual 45% FG%, 35% 3PT% and 54% TS%, that is going to look like a terrible contract.

$100mil over 4 years is about what I would think for Jrue (since he is 31yr old soon) but Milwaukee are desperate.

Still, an extra $60mil for desperation? Ouch.

Only if you completely ignore his elite defense.  No surprise that's he's putting up his best efficiency numbers playing with Giannis and Middleton.  With his overall versatility, Holiday is a near perfect 3rd star.

Maybe but a 3rd star isn't payed 40M a year, esp in this Covid context. They are all in now. And Middelton as the second of Giannis may not be enough.

The market is crazy: at this rythm we will end with a 30M TPE for a Fournier S/T   :)
