Quickly needs to be knocked on his ass a few times.

Agreed.

21-2 run now. And we come out of a timeout and give up 2 points immediately. Idiots

[Indocelts]

 Knicks quickly called a time out.

[slamtheking]

see that Joe? an experienced coach calls a TO to stem a change in momentum. 

[celticinorlando]

This is the nets game all over.

But joe, Tatum all said they were not concerned.

How do you blow big time leads in the matter of 3 minutes?

[Mahk E Mahk]

the C’s have a few splash players but no closers. this is a mentally soft, lazy, entitled team with zero leadership. the worst part is it seems no one really cares.

[liam]

8 man rotation and just no way to get PP into the game.

[Phantom255x]

All these other coaches look like geniuses compared to Mazzulla. Look at that quick timeout by Thibs as soon as an ounce of momentum changed

[jpotter33]

Lol all it takes is one bucket that has potential to change the momentum for the actual seasoned NBA coach to call the timeout and refocus his guys. Amazing.

[SCeltic34]

Joe is so awful.  Sticking with a lineup that isn't working.

Yeah you can’t wait to get the starters back in when we are just getting crushed.  Who cares about the standard rotations when we are just capsizing?

Yeah.  Putting Grant, Hauser and MM out there are the same time is rough.

I mean, we're watching the defensive disaster unfold and Joe refuses to do anything about it.  The guy is clueless.

[PAOBoston]

This game would have been a laugher if Brunson was playing

[celticinorlando]

I do not believe this team has a flip to be switched come playoff time. The amount 3s they take with very average shooters is going to end their season.

They do not defend at all. Guys get to the rim with ease vs Boston. Soft.

[Indocelts]

Kincks coach during time out: See this Cs didnt call a time out and now we get the lead? Don't let it happen to us, guys! C'mon.

[Phantom255x]

I guarantee you now, NYK will go on a run but Mazzulla will wait until it's a 20 point deficit before calling timeout

[jpotter33]

Got to get Smart back in ASAP. Our defense has been garbage since he went out

Smart has been wretched tonight.

Not true. Smart got it done on defense and set up our offense. It all went to hell when he sat

Yeah, he's had some bad offensive moments tonight, but he's the only one that has been consistently defending tonight and causing disruption.

It's a problem a lot this season. Just don't have anywhere near the same defensive focus.
