Fire Joe! ... or critique Joe ... or defend Joe... or worry about Joe's coaching

[SHAQATTACK]

Joe don’t make us come back here

2nd roe Joe doesn't think about defense, they badly need a Vogel or similar on the bench. He is a Homeless guy's D'antoni

[gouki88]

He has done an immensely better job these last couple of games. Doesn't let momentum swing, yanks guys if they're making costly errors with frequency, has run better plays for interior looks / foul drawing. Props

Yeah.  He hasn't been perfect, but he doesn't look completely in over his head.

He sucks never winning anything with him, took out rob they lost

Wow.  That last three seconds was called "winning in spite of Joe", haha.

First he challenges a clear foul that was called a 2PT shot.  Under review, the Heat get three FTs.

Then, the ATO call to Smart was terrible, and predictably he missed.

Thank God for White.  Holy holy.

So can we assume his challenge on Horford's foul is what got them 3 free throws or would that have occurred/been reviewed by the refs regardless?

Surely it would have happened regardless, right?

I mean, we should have challenged the call where Tatum blocked Butler but was called for a foul.  That would have saved 2 points.

We still don't know how to figure out a zone.  We're playing way too slowly and not executing properly.  Terrible play down the stretch.

Agreed the ATO was awful.  White saved Joe's skin.

Wouldn't the refs have reviewed it anyways to see if it was a 2 or 3?  The challenge was just used because he had it, and was going to call a timeout anyways.

I would guess Tatum was option A, but Struss went to double him (though didn't look like a particularly good play to set up Tatum.).

Correct

I'm still high as a kite over this....



But they will never have a 10 pt lead with 4 minutes to go and stay aggressive, will they

[celts55]

I’m pretty sure they would have looked at the Butler foul anyway, so I don’t have a problem with the challenge.
That said, they again couldn’t close out a game. Robinson hits one of those wide open 3’s and we’re having a whole different conversation

JB and Smart kept leaving him wide open. Was infuriating.
