A little bit of redemption for LA sports fans as we beat the Dodgers & Rams. We lose an 18 point lead against the Lakers and a 28 pt lead against the Clippers. When we had Parrish, Bird & McHale we'd build a 15-20 point lead and keep it and even add to it. Having 2 tall men helped. Same old, Same old....Rebs were 49 to 46 and points in the paint 45-40. Beating a dead horse...no dominating big man in the paint !
Proof of inconsistency: we went from our highest 1/2 score(74 pts) to a lowest Qtr score (12 in the 3rd).. The team is pathetic and I don't know what they need do to get solidly on tract. Irving is getting hurt and time off more than he can play. Hayward has turned mediocre but can't trade him with his high salary. Believe me, I would trade Irving now for Davis & toss in aging Horford too if they'd do the deal and hope that our young guys, some new draft picks and Davis can win us a title.

There are only three players in the NBA currently in the Top 20 in both Net Rating, and True Shooting.
Steph Curry
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Daniel Theis
Too bad our poor excuse for a coach doesn't give him the minutes he deserves.
We have talant. Stevens just can't put the right players on the court at the right time.
I'll be launching a get rid of ''Brad'' petition to be sent to the Boston owners. Ainge is in denial as are quite a few here.

Well.... I'm not going to panic just yet... with consecutive losses to the two sorry-azz LA teams.
Like a grown up,
I'm biding my time (see below) and maintaining my composure.
As promised, I'm waiting 'til immediately after the AS game...
...and then.... full blown panic.

This is more than the coach. This is major chemistry problems. To me everything was on track until kyrie demanded to come here.

Just how is yet to be determined.

I think it's more about Hayward than it is Kyrie, but Stevens is most to blame!! Tatum and Brown should be getting 30 tp 36 minutes per game!

Someone has their anish on the line and Ainge was and has been the driving force in promoting Stevens. I see no real supporters of'' Brad'' here anymore. Where are the folks who said he was a great coach? Fierce and several unnamed cheerleaders. Where are you? Can't take the heat i see. Gonna get worse better fess up that you were wrong.

Gonna get worse better fess up that you were wrong. well i am a fan but i agree with the consensus here that he has failed specially this season. But not i wouldnt bring pierce to coach. We have it played Dee. Theres not gonna be personnel nor players changes. So what do we do now??? Ainge should have a talk somewhere there to at least try something different. Aside from the coach, lets face it, morris said it very clear. A lot of individualism. Noticed how Tatum wants to just force plays thats not sitting well with me.

The other question is, why can't we get a call? In the back of my mind I feel like the NBA is trying to manufacture some kind of storyline

Well who knows. NBA is not the same as before. A storyline would not be surprising

Ok . Where to go from here and keep the coach?
I'm sorry i see no changes in Stevens approach he's still coaching from the Butler playbook. Teams have him figured out and he pulls players in games consistantly when they are just getting hot or in the flow. Stevens is 100% to blame for Hayward an 100 % to blame for this small ball collage jump shooting approach
Horford had no legs again and played 32 minutes when he should have played 18 or 20. Stevens is lost completely lost on how to manage players and playing time. Struggles ever game with matchups.
No magic pill for tis team this year and it's looking to me that a rebuild is getting more likely every day.
Lost two picks this year on top of that.
We might land Davis for a year and give up Tatum and picks and make a run next year. After that its back to the Dark Ages for what may be a few years.

In the back of my mind I feel like the NBA is trying to manufacture some kind of storyline Could it be few fouls are called on three point attempts or long threes? Could it be we don't attact in the paint? No conspiracy i'm not buying that. The refs are bad just bad . Why in the world would the NBA say target Boston? Were not Memphis or NO they encourage the large market teams if anything.

I am not willing to lay this BS on Irving entirely. I am sure he isn't helping. But the lack of effort by this team, the poor performances, are widespread. I would name Hayward, Horford, Brown (at times), Rozier, and Tatum (at times) to start. The only two guys who seem to be consistently "in the game" are Morris and Smart. They give everything they have every night. There is an obvious chemistry problem here-and I blame Stevens for not getting this team to gel. The talent is there to make a deep playoff run, but its not going to happen this year.

All points taken. I still love how Rozier makes out with more minutes, same with Hayward but hey thats just me. The pace is better and the team effort is there.

We have some talant can't argue that Everyone was gushing to start the season the whole league as a matter of fact. We failed to live up to the billing . Nah i see no indication this year will turn around.

But hey.... I redeemed myself allowing Captain Kirk to walk/sign with the Vikes for a gazillion $$$.
Great numbers but.... numbers don't tell the story w/him.
Poor Vikes..... who knew!?!
