Blow it up

Where was the Jaylen Brown who put up Jordan-like numbers the other night. Looking like pedestrian lately

He shouldn't have played in the second half. We need a real coach, not an assistant.

Coach, needs some energy in that starting lineup.

Big time. This must be a tank. Coach took no responsibility in his press conference. If you can't get your players to play hard you're done! What could Tibbs do with this talent?

But noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo……

We can’t have a Rick Carlisle

That’s not cool……we need a feel good coaching change ….not an old dinosaur coach who demands players earn their millions

When is he going to take care of the refs? He's a lot of talk!

Agreed!!! Rick would've benched Jaylen in this one!!!

It really does not surprise me that Brad hired a soft coach. He always liked soft players because he probably does not want to deal with strong personalities.

[liam]

The Wizards didn't even have any bigs in the second half and we didn't punish that. Teams are shooting 50% against us.

Ime should call it what it is, these guys are bunch of soft, crybaby pansies. They've been that for several seasons now.


Even Horford, who has a reputation of being soft himself, is flabbergasted tonight seeing this.

Dennis Schroder on the team's lack of focus: "We need to do better at shootarounds...We need to come out the right away and be ready to compete."

Really interested in what went down at shootaround.

[Ogaju]

I don’t even think it matters who they bring in. The culture of this team will turn the Morris twins into snowflakes.

[Who]

Really not feeling this team this year. Reaks of last year's team. I'm concerned we've allowed bad habits and a bad culture get into our guys by not holding them accountable for years. They just don't consistently play hard or smart, and our coach looks clueless on the sideline at how to fix these issues, at least at this point.

Honestly, if we remain this bad and like last year at the deadline, I think it's time to reexamine whether this team is going to work together long-term.

Playing the Wizards, this reminds me of Pierce's comments about their young stars (Wall, Beal) after joining them. They just did not have the right drive / work ethic to compete for a title.
