Fire all of these useless clowns  trade Jrue tomorrow! I?ve had enough of his mediocre play this season

[radiohead]

There was a stretch in the 4th when JB scored on a 3 pt play angle got us the lead. We played good D and got the ball back. What does JB do? He jacks up a three waaay to early in the shot clock. We like hitting the homerun plays and it comes back to bite us. Just because you?re open doesn?t mean it?s a good shot.

Given he?s shooting 32% from 3 this season he?s the last person who should be jacking up 3s

Oz, that should have been posted in the new fire Joe thread lol.

I'm just glad we won it all last year. Could you imagine if we still hadn't and this was happening

Brad did not make any roster improvements during the offseason after winning the championship, that will be the downfall this playoffs.

Not too late to swing for a midseason trade. Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, Sam Hauser should all be made available for trade...shoot I'd prob make Jaylen Brown expendable now too. I was on the JTJB wagon (Just Trade Jaylen Brown) last season, he got his money and ring and trophies and now he's stinking up the joint.

I don't think we need to make a major trade, but we do need to add to the bench.  Hauser, for instance, couldn't perform tonight.

Joe needs to
1.Integrate PP as an important part of the offense, especially in crunch time.
2. Let Kornet shoot when wide open.
4. Implement better ATO without Tatum as the ultimate shooter.

[Phantom255x]

Tatum in the 4th quarter and OT combined scored 4 points. 2 of them came from FTs. Sorry but that?s also inexcusable from our ?alpha? and MVP talent

[ozgod]

Another thing, let?s all be honest?Jrue has been trash this season. All his offensive metrics are down, hes shooting 32% from 3 which is atrocious and the worst of our top six along with Jaylen. It might be time to think about whether he should be here long term, especially with thst contract?maybe we need to retool at thst position with someone younger. Maybe not right now but Brad should be thinking of thst by the offseason.

There?s a new fire Joe thread? Sign me up (long as I can unsign later when things get better  )

[Goldstar88]

D-White had 16 shot attempts from 3pt!? 

[Phantom255x]

It is really telling to me that Tillman still could not get any minutes today despite being down both our starters.

At this point I would probably consider trading Tillman and Springer, maybe in seperate trades (attaching second round picks obviously) to acquire back 2 bench players.

Or bring back Lonnie Walker and trade 1 of Springer/Tillman + picks for a depth PF/C.

He?s honestly a choking dog, be happy we got 1 championship with him, took the easiest path of all time and overcoming his postseason long shooting slump

I am sure this was mentioned but the Jrue Holiday gaff was probably the single most stupid play I have ever seen. Up by 3 with very little time left and he gets a pass under the basket all alone and he dribbles it out to waste time and get fouled and instead turns the ball over. Why would you not want to go up by 5 points in that situation? There are no 5 point plays. That was STUPID and the team played stupid.
