Tatum's just on another level the past 2 games.

Okay, can Brad yank on Brown's chain and stop his dumb, forced shots??
You never tell your superstar to reign in their shot taking. That's just terrible coaching.

Well per your perspective Brad's job isn't to be doing much at all besides collecting a paycheck out there  ;) ;D

But I disagree. Even for a *star* - which I think there is a difference there between a *star* in Brown and our undeniable Alpha *superstar* in Tatum - it's perfectly acceptable to tell him to settle down, get others involved, and take better shots than what he's taking. He's absolutely forcing things out there and taking dumb shots.
Its very different to say Brad needs to "yank on Brown's chain and stop his dumb, forced shots" and say what you just did.

Very, very different.

And good coaching is to say to calm down, to take your shots and stay confident. Then, after the game show him the type of shots you want to see him take and not take

Let's also remember, Stevens has told him to take more three pointers so 2-3 of those threes  point shots good shots, in Brad's book.

TT has got no offensive arsenal at all, lol

Brown, Smart, and Thompson are shooting a combined 6-25.

Everyone else is lights out!


And if Kemba was out there they’d be 9-36... :-X

who?? ???

Smarts playing like a dog. Take him out..

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.

If Portland is going to shoot 64% from three, beyond a power outage or something...this looks tough.
