These two are a crying disgrace. Nigga had no mental health issues till the fines started coming in. Notice the very first point raised were the fines. Only a donkey of a GM will trade for this mental midget at this point. It would still come to a point where owners will start fighting for non guaranteed contracts like the NFL. Thanks to douchegoblins like these. Meanwhile there are people with real mental issues that still need to show up at work

Im glad you now see that being a good vocal leader is a plus. That trying to lead from the back last year was wack. This year, everybody knows get serious or stay on the bench
I never disagreed with you, I only said Curry had a different leadership style than CP3. cheesy

This team is just dead without LeBron. Trailing by 20 in the third to Timberwolves. Is that not madness?.

Hmm I think we may be going back to the days of needing a dominant front court player to be competitive against the warriors.

As for the Lakers some of this blame has to go to Vogel, he needs to reel in Westbrook somehow.
It's also in games like this that will make never to consider AD has the best big man in the league.
You're the most talented player on the court and you have arguably a better team but you can't marshal your team to be competitive.

I dont think people fully appreciate the disaster that westbrook is. There is no hope of the team gelling to compete because of how he breaks plays. he can say all the good things about how he is adapting, but deep down, this guy is selfish. He knows that moment when he is breaks the flow of the offense to do his own thing. He knows exactly when he does it. He just doesnt care. This is what his advocates dont understand. Its not that he cant be coached. Its a conscious decision this guy is making to play a certain way regardless. The most useless 20pts ever

The Hawks have been terribly disappointing this season. They are on a 6 game losing streak and are 4-9.

And just like that, the Celtics have choked a 19 point lead to now 4. This has been the narrative throughout the season and it is quite annoying. Worsestill, how Ime failed to call a timeout during the scoring run by the Cavs is beyond me!
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:08am On Nov 14, 2021
Tatum come on man! Consecutive cross court passes that the Cavs intercepted for transition buckets.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:11am On Nov 14, 2021
Respect to the Bikerstaff, this is a well coached team.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:23am On Nov 14, 2021
Bad loss.. Ime managed the 2nd half of this game very very poorly! I mean, his coaching inexperience was evident throughout the 2nd half of this game.
Re: The NBA Begins by Android17: 4:23am On Nov 14, 2021
I don't know if that play was drawn for Schroeder or if he just took initiative because of the game clock and the fact that he was the hottest Celtics' hand but I have to say Tatum has been mega unimpressive this season. It looks like he has regressed even though I saw him put the work during the summer. Maybe it is just growing pains but he is letting his team down. Meanwhile, I don't know how I did not watch Evan Mobley till now. He is looking like a future first ballot HOF.
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 5:40am On Nov 14, 2021
I do have a question, how long will the wolves rebuild take. Is it that they do not have good enough players or is it just a question of fit?

You really have to feel for Celtics fans, from holding several top draft picks getting Hayward, kyrie and AL Ford + studs like Tatum, Jaleyn brown and Marcus smart from the draft and now they have a team without an identity.

At one point it looked like the Celtics was going to be the next dynasty. Now the east looks like a blood bathe for the next 3 years the bucks, Nets, heat and even the bulls look like they would be a perennial problem.

It's just a soft team. They lack spine and grit. Can''t tell me their players are worse than the Grizzlies for example

Ainge for all his so called savvy, left a weird team which Steven's did not fix this offseason. I still don't understand why they were not going after lonzo in FA, this team badly needs a traditional PG. Someone who can create simple looks for Tatum and brown. They just take too much tough shots IMHO

It will not get any better, with Brad Stevens now president. I am still amazed that a terrible coach can fail his way into a role twice as important. I guess he got some networking skills undecided

The roster needs to be blown up, but with Ainge, err, Stevens at the helm, I dont see many players wanting to be in Boston. That reputation is a given now. And we have been waiting for Tatum to "graduate" like the last 4 years now, same result every year. Like I said last year, Celtcis are going to be eastern conference cellar dwellers for most of this decade. And Im fine with it grin

Tatum is a scorer and very good on defense when he applies himself, but the issue is he cannot create for others and most of the shots he creates for himself are tough shots just like his mentor Kobe. But the thing is, Kobe is legendary because he made a lot of those bad shots consistently, Tatum on the other hand, makes them sporadically.
So the front office needs to go back to the traditional mode of building a team. Which is pair great scorers with a playmaking PG. THE league has seen so many great scorers in recent time who can also create for others that it seems some GMs have forgotten that PG play is extremely important.
Kobe had fisher, Vince best years were with JKidd, Tmac had Steve Francis, etc

PS: I truly believe if the only way to get the best out of both Tatum and Brown is to follow what the bulls are currently doing, pairing 2 wings scorers with a playmaking PG who can defend (Ball and Caruso), you might not win it all, but you will definitely make some noise.

Thank you so much for bringing this up. A combination of irresponsible management of picks/ players, freak injuries, bad trade decisions and a lack of accountability has landed the Celtics where we are today. I don't want to delve too much into this situation because I may write an epistle but I am grateful to read a fair criticism from an outsider looking in.

Who ever made the decision to draft a TE instead of either Fields or Jones for the Falcons should be fired. That team needed a reset ASAP. Matty Ice is done

Agreed, but it has to be the right player.
