Common thread in losses is the the chucking of threes when they aren’t falling.

Ugh, Kornet is not the answer with an elite shooting big like KAT or Reid. Too slow to get out there.

Make a run and kill it with more quick threes. Team is so frustrating

God, this is awful basketball. Literally just chucking contested threes hoping they will go in.

Most important week of the season and Boston is going to go 0-3. They will be out of first place by the end of the month at this rate

Bucks are going to kill them tomorrow

This team is slowly morphing back into last year's team. Totally over-reliant on the three, and when we're not hitting threes or missing a starter, we're very beatable.

Virtually that entire quarter was an exercise in poor shot selection and decision-making, led by our best player.
Missing KP, resembles last year’s team

I won’t deny that we are missing KP, but they’re also missing Gobert.
Porzingis has been a great fit but he’s not some super hero superstar that is going to carry us to a title and more likely than not we he will be hurt when it really matters anyways

  • GOT IT!!!
Any team that can get up in the J's grill and force them to work is always a tough matchup. That's why keeping KP healthy is an absolute must for winning the title. They just aren't as hard to guard without him playing. Only team in the East that can consistently do that is Miami. C's will look good tomorrow night.

But all I’ve heard all season is how terrible the bucks are?

How many times are they going to score on Kornet before we get Al back in there, Joe?? It's not like he's playing tomorrow...

Terrible shot again by Tatum.

Tatum comes in and immediately jacks up two ill-advised pull-up threes. Lucky that one of them went in.

Al is in the game.

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.
