  1. When we are winning all is great but when we dropped a couple games it's the rookie coach. Please stop because we needed a backup center and a knock down shooter coming off the bench which management didnt deliver

  2. Tatum’s shot is off, no starting bigs – got blasted on the offensive boards, defense was very passive in this particular game. These overreactions are very annoying

    Great pod – Jared was great as usual. I’m talking about fan overreaction not the crew here

  3. This team has forgotten who they are as a team. Defense was the "IT" factor and it's no where near that this year. Coaching is an issue, Jayson Tatum has let the Celtics nation down profoundly, and the team is not playing & trusting each other. My only hope is that R. Williams comes back and gives us that huge defensive & offensive presence and hopefully this can be the catalyst in turning things around

  4. Mazzula reminds me so much of coach bud, as a bucks fan. I think you guys will be fine. Coach's like bud can be very frustrating, they are big x's and o's guys (and rely less on mentality) can come off a little condescending at times (mazulla more than bud) and you worry about them pushing the right buttons at the right times. However, I think what you guys are missing isn't a mazulla thing it's a Tatum thing. The reason bud works is that gainnis follows in lock step with him and no one questions it. It does not feel like Tatum is at the same place with mazulla yet. Maybe they'll get there this season (for my bucks sake I hope not haha), but I'm sure by year two it'll be clear if him and Tatum get that chemistry or if you guys need to go in a different direction.

  5. Arrogant sportwriter who has never touched the rim of a basketball goal; i frequently watch the same ATO plays; the offense is predictable; and not respond to a 1-3-1 zone defense aka the 2nd quarter 6 straight possessions empty with 3s taken without paint touch

  6. This is unbelievable is the stuff I was saying last year about Mr. Tatum,, now, everybody’s catching up to me,, he’s got an occasional beautiful shot. The problem is his head is not equal to his body, his body is ready to be number one, his mind is so twisted and he doesn’t know whether he wants to kiss his fingers, pull on his ears, point smile, whatever, except play, freaking basketball when you were great is when you were doing that, and now you’re not

  7. Every time Rob comes back from an injury he’s a step slower and not as athletic as he was before.

  8. We need the time lord to come back and be healthy and play half of like he played the last playoffs. That's what's missing rim defensel

  9. For 1. He's a rookie. 2. Brad Stevens, the players, and the organization is very high on this guy. Still a long way from this season being over

  10. Wow you guys made the best points ever. JT needs to get healthy for the playoffs. Bench needs to get their reps in. Why is this so damn hard to sell

  11. YES,YES,YES HE IS IN OVER HIS HEAD. ALL THIS GUY THINK OF IS SHOOTING 3's. Ime had them playing defense. Now why would any one try something different. The man can not coach.

  12. If they continue playing like that they're not going any where it seems their D is dissapeared they are not playing like they want it bad so relaxig their D sucks.

  13. Mr. Weiss is a very good friend. Trying to defend coach joe. He (coach) put in size but the Jazz still get away with offensive rebounds
