DG, absolutely ghosted, no one else could contribute, absolutely…but to come out of that timeout when we cut it down to 9 and to completely go small ball with Merrill…I am fully convinced JB only has his job because of his dad in the frontoffice and fans could legitimately make better decisions

You drunk? I donât know who youâre blaming here. DG, JB, or Merril?
Note: I too am drunk
The Merrill lineup was fine. Strus needed rest and Okoro was ass on offense all game. The 4th quarter offense was actually pretty good outside a few bad choices on early three point shots.
Merrill shouldnât be on the court if wade is available
This game wasn’t on JB at all. Dudes couldn’t make open shots, the fuck is he going to do? Players were passing on wide open 3s just to get the ball back and take a contested 3.
This was a very winnable game and the players lost it. Merrill was in because nobody was doing shit. Surprised he didn’t go to Niang just for a prayer on offense.
I don’t like JB but these players are inconsistent as fuck. This roster is looking eerily similar to LeBron’s first stint.
This is a cop out.
That 14-0 run to start the 2nd half did them in. Game 4 is now a must win. Gotta come out on fire and canât lose focus until the final buzzer. The Celtics arenât unstoppable â Cavs just let them off the hook because Garland, Strus, and Okoro canât hit open shots.
That would be called nepotism. If that’s the case, then both of them should be fired. And whoever allowed it should be fired too.
Bostonâs just fucking good man. Not saying you give up (and guys tried), but thereâs zero margin for error and our guys are inconsistent.
I’m anti-JB but this game wasn’t on him. Okoro, Strus, LeVert, and Garland missed too many open shots. A better coach would help, but the players aren’t making the most of their opportunities.
Letting Tatum and Brown scored 61 combined was the problem. If they scored 15 less, like on Thursday, this game would have been a win. Stop ganging up on garland.
