Celtics (18-20) at Knicks (17-20) Game #39 1/6/22

[RJ87]

Great game by Jayson. Too bad no one else thought it was worth showing up.

[Silas]

What the hell happened to Brown?

[ozgod]

Easily the worst game all season! Lit up by a cast off reject we didn’t want to pay and lost after leading by 20 to a team of scrubbers!!

[Goldstar88]

The offense from the first half to the second was night and day. Just jacking 3’s and playing a 2 man offense with Tatum and Smart in the 3rd and 4th Q.  JB had what, 4 points in the second half...Thibs adjusted and Ime once again could not.

[Who]

The Smart/Tatum two man game working really well.

Should be Tatum and Brown but I don’t think they like each other that much.

I think that is an easy switch for most teams.

Better to have them work it with a smaller guard or big player to get a more advantageous matchup in the switch. Doing it with Jaylen and Jayson gives the least advantageous switch.

another squandered 20+ point lead.

blow. it. up.

What the hell happened to Brown?

Ime stuck him in the corner and let Smart and Schroder shoot at will.

Out coached, AGAIN!!!

[esel1000]

So for those of you who hated Brad the coach… miss him yet? Because Ime is awful.

[hpantazo]

Whatever happened to running the offense through the bigs? It worked wonders for one game and we abandoned it completely.

What the hell happened to Brown?

Dude thinks he can be lazy in every other facet of the game now that he's a really good scorer.

[blink]

What the hell happened to Brown?

Ime stuck him in the corner and let Smart and Schroder shoot at will.

DS had a rough end of the 4th quarter, lots of missed shots, turnovers, bad def.
I think Brad trading DS will be step 1, whenever that can happen.

So for those of you who hated Brad the coach… miss him yet? Because Ime is awful.

I do. He had plays.

[jpotter33]

Honestly, I liked the Ime hiring. Thought he had what it took, and checked a lot of the boxes.

But my God is he completely unfit to manage an NBA offense. Completely clueless out there. These fourth quarter woes are inexcusable, and his supposed strength of player relations and keeping his guys motivated has clearly not panned out either.

He should absolutely be on the hot seat. Hell, I - I, of all people - would rather have Brad back at this point. He lost the team and was a pushover, but he at least had legitimate sets to run and an offensive identity outside of finding the mismatch and iso'ing.

What the hell happened to Brown?

Froze again in the offense because the coach is so incompetent on running plays
