Kyrie Irving on Bucks offense: “Mike (Budenholzer) does a great job of calling plays on the fly, calling plays that have worked all series...whether we switch or make adjustments, they’ve been working all series.”

Seems like a subtle jab at Brad and his laissez-faire philosophy regarding in-game management. Can't say that I blame him, as that's the coach's job that Brad continues to fail at.

Here is a statement that I can whole-heartedly back Irving on. Brad Stevens has been abysmal. What is Stevens going to say in the press conference? "We need to play better and execute"? I've heard the same thing over and over and over and no impressive results. Losing back2back home games like that is unacceptable.

Not enough talent to contend.  Too weak of a conference to tank.   Strap in for perpetual mediocrity.

Talent is not an issue for this team. It's the right fit, toughness and chemistry.

Thank You.

You guys are missing the point if you think this is a matter of making a couple of moves to supplement talent. This team's entire problem is chemistry - both on-court and in the locker room. Chemistry issues are why we are missing defensive intensity, grit and mental toughness.

The team's move away from a ball movement offense made a huge impact on players like Tatum and Hayward. The reason they both looked so lost so often was because they have been lost. Standing on the perimeter and then getting a kick-out does not compliment their playing style. Their effectiveness was destroyed.

Feel bad only for Al. I want him to win a championship. Such a class guy. Clock is ticking.

Than god for that playoff Kyrie we were told about.

enough to make fans long for Playoff Rondo.

I loved Rondo. Think I’ve subconsciously held it against Brad for not making it work with him.

Dunno what it is but I seem to always like the polarising star players

If Brad does one thing next game I hope it's bench Rozier. I would also love to see TIMELORD play. I would also like to see Semi play. I would love to see Wanamaker taking those open Jumpers instead of Rozier or even Smart. I would just like to see Brad try something different. There's nothing to lose now!

Only issue is Al missed a ton of shots and his defense on Giannis tonight was non-existent.

With the exception of game 1, Al's defense hasn't been that great.

I think playoff Rondo would have helped us more now than Rozier or the corpse of Hayward. He owned Lillard last year and helped AD reach the 2nd round for the first time in his career.

Also, tonight may have been Kyrie Irving's last home game as a Celtic.

So let that sink in.

So many great memories with Kyrie please don't say that.

You can't blame him? LUCKILY I CAN. Don't make subtle jabs when you are shooting 19/62 for 61 points in your last three game.

"Blame him" for making that remark, not his lackluster game. Kyrie's lackluster play this series is absolutely a contributing factor to our disappointing postseason. However, that does not mean that Brad is also significantly responsible for this mess of a series and lackluster overall season.

Watch us blow them out in game five only to come home and lay another bloody egg on home court.

And sadly, I'll be watching game 5 because I'm a glutton for punishment.

i know everybody is mad but sometimes it is best to keep things in perspective. life problems make you laugh at rigged entertainment as this. remember NFL is a joke and is listed as entertainment. not a real competitive sport. it is no better than WWE. NBA could be the same. enjoy your wife abnd kids and family. enjoy your business or job, and hobbies. the older you get the easier it is to move on. you only give time and attention to what is worth it and on what you care about. last 2 years taught me alot as i went through a nasty court battle in which i won and it was family based.  i only do now what i like to do. this team will get zero of my time until summer now. they do not deserve it.

FIRE BRAD

Absolutely. Class act up and down who almost always gives his all out on the court. Will definitely be disappointing if he never wins a ring with us, though he does have an unprecedented back-to-back college championship career to make up for it, at least. Hall of Famer for sure.

Horford was 8-16. Shot better than anyone elision the team.

After crapping the bed for three straight games, Kyrie shouldn't be blaming his coach or anyone else but himself.

Ya man, I know what you meant. My point is you can blame him for making that remark. Brad has been bad this series and had a bad year, but Kyrie throwing shade (if that was his intention) is a joke considering his performance.
