Kings (16-24) at Celtics (20-20) Game #41 3/18/21

[footey]

Brown Tatum on the trade block.  We need team players.  These two have too inflated heads for their own good and to the teams detriment.

They are individually good one on one players.  But their lack of knowledge of team basketball is worrisome.  I feel Tatum plays with blinders on when he drives; he seems incapable of dishing to an open player when he invariably is double teamed.  His game has become, gulp, ugly to watch.

He really p---ed me off tonight.

Tatum and Brown combined for 9 turnovers tonight.  9 turnovers.  Many at the worst moments.

I seriously would not be sad to see Tatum gone at the deadline. I think he was who Jaylen was "No commenting" about. I think he is why Brad has "lost the locker room," because the team is affected by what the star does. And it's not Brad's fault that Tatum is selfish on the court. He's more Melo than Mamba. at this point I WISH he was more like Kobe his hero. I seriously hate watching him play now.

If we had a coach like Pop those issues would have been taken care of a long time ago. Brad just seems like a pushover.

[liam]

The reason we keep losing at the end is because the "Starts" come back in. That's why we start off bad too.

Bench shot 3-4 from 3 and 10-18 over all. MAYBE THEY NEED MORE SHOTS...


On to the next game. More of the same.

Only player in this game with a +.... Pritchard.... Glad Brad yanked him out while the game was winnable.

Brad doesn't care about winning. He's just scared of making Kemba feel bad.

Every time he talks about Kemba he says :"Well, we can't win without Kemba" What does that say to the rest of the team. It's the same old schtick. Got to get Kemba his 18 shots.

[slamtheking]

I hope no fans show up when they’re back.  Maybe then Wyc will wake up

no, that's not what should happen.  it should be filled as much as possible with fans.  fans that will boo their asses out of the arena for playing this poorly.  they need to hear they suck and it won't be accepted

[Kuberski33]

You do have to wonder how much longer is this going to be allowed to continue. This type of play would get almost any coach in the league fired but the problems here run deeper than the coach. The team has no bench but their starters are all playing poorly and selfishly.

You either need to try a new coach or change the roster. Changing the roster is hard and takes time - the coach is the easier move.

Those summer camps do not teach team ball.....they teach you how to be a great one on one player though.

Pop lost Kawhi....
I don't think Brad wants to be the reason Tatum leaves, after Kyrie and Gordon.

[Indocelts]

I am beginning too see why KI, AH, and GH left us.

They saw young guns who developed big egoes and a coach who can't control them.

In the locker rooms there are the 3 big egos, Brown, Tatum and Kemba who think they are above others.

Among the 3, i think Brown is the most reasonable guy to coach, if only Brad wants to straighten all up.

I am afraid no other vet would like to be in the Celtics locker room with this current situation.

Because it's true. Kemba's a max guy and he's not going anywhere anytime soon. Realistically, we're not benching him. That does nothing to help in get into game shape and it does nothing to increase his trade value. Frankly, we need him to play well. Desperately.

[Tr1boy]

To be honest, Tatum, Walker are playing like they want to be traded at this rate

Danny is right there in the stands watching. And there is no ounce of fight or taking care of possessions

where is the "fight"??

I don't care if the team loses, but you can't get outworked by a short rookie on defense (Pritchard)

They should be embarrassed

Playing him isn't increasing his trade value and it's not winning games.

Pritchard was the hardest working guy on the floor tonight and it wasn't close.

[Indocelts]

I imagine even the rookies hate the veterans play right now. The rookies have been battle tested in college, they know how to fight the game until the end. They know something is wrong, and they look up to Brad to sort this out.

Until, nothing happens.

I think some of this is exaggerated, but Tatum's issues are primarily on the coaching staff and team as a whole not properly developing him and instilling discipline and accountability in him. He gets away with his crap because he's always got away with it because there's no leadership on this team.
