you are being unreasonable under the system boston plays. We dont play man to man. We switch. We solely switch. So. No one gets to play butler full time. Thats a fact. Right, and if White, Smart, Tatum and Brown can't stop him, what makes you think PP can......? what makes you think he cant? Watch the games. Tell me if you didnt see butler bothered by PP. He got under his skin a few times. Has it ever crossed your mind that our 5 starters minus white look intimidated by a few heats? PP doesnt get intimidated very easily. Anyways. I am not a by the book type of guy. Thats a follower thing

Hedley, you go by what the coaches do. Every single year. So whats the point for anyone to point a different action that what the coach does if you will always rebut it? Might as well just read. Am I right?

We have more talent. They have more guts. They have more fight in them than us. They have that dirty street saavy in them. We have a reactive approach. Thats it

Am I right? this guy is in his first year, first time NBA head coach. We had the best record in the league after Jan 1, and we are in the ECF, one win away from the Finals. Know what gets under my skin? Calling this guy an idiot and a moron.. I "go by" what the coaches do, because as I sit and watch the games, that is what I would do..........

You dont see any flaw you dont see what could have he tried. Nothi g. So of course you will always disagree. Hey. I am a huge ime fan. So i cant call him moron. He has shown me more than enough. Hypothetically, i want to offer my opinions. Not ime opinions. But mine. Thats it

And i think thats a forum or any other platform is for. To offer opinions. Not to speak on behalf of ime or on his defense. That would be absolutely boring

Thats it And that is the coaches fault, right? nope. In that, I am with you. Is on the players 100 percent. Please take my notes as opinions hypothetical scenarios. Perhaps the Ime in me. Thats all. The what ifs. I love this group. I wouldnt change anything in them. Perhaps add another rob backup. Thats about it.

Last night I wanted more RWill and less Grant. I also think he wasted his challenge. But, PP should only get minutes if he can contribute offensively. He's not out there for defense. I'm also a litte sad about Nesmith. He should have gotten some more chances in the post season, but the kid can't stay healthy. I feel badly about that, becasue I like him as a player. That being said, the coach cannot take a chance on him in a big spot in a game right now, but I'm hoping for next year.

not only that. Anyone is welcome to go back to the previous games and see that PP has been able to get under Butler skin. He is actually a better defender than what he gets credit for. He is short but tenacious. I think no one cant measure any player by 3 minutes. But, in those three he did some good things including a kick out leading to a basket. We always bring up our inability to make baskets in stretches. But. Once again, i believe we have the players that can shoot, just not active. This includes PP. Hopefully next year we will see a more confident group from day 1 which should allow Ime to play other players. This should keep our starters healthy and help the other ones develop. If there is no patience for that then our team should follow a different approach other than develop talent. Let's start the kid in Game 7, and tell him to guard Butler. He'll have 50 in the first half, and PP will have 4 fouls. He's an average NBA defender. Derrick White is 14th in the league in defensive rating, and he got abused by Butler. I love PP, but he is too small to guard Butler. They will just run pick and roll action until PP is on Butler, then it's over. I hope in Game 7 he hits his first shot and gives us 10-12 points off the bench. Then, in crunch time, when we need stops, he can go back and sit down, and let the grown ups play D. who says he has to guard Butler?

We deserve to win tomorrow. Lowry doesnt deserve shit. That screaming from the bench was idiotic. He has been dirty flopper and so. If there are any basketball gods watching, they dont deserve it. Game 7 is ours

Pritchard can get his shot off,and has all season, plus his man stays on him and will not double Tatum or Brown off him! Butler scored at will over Smart and White with not the hint if a double team, all on the coach! In four minutes, I saw PP attempt one contested shot. It's on the PG to get him the ball. Since he didn't get anyone the ball, PP could not shoot. If he can't shoot, he's basically useless out there. I'm sure Ime told him to go out and NOT get his shot off against this really good defense. If his man "stayed on him", then how can you say he can get his shot off??? He didn't last night, that's all that matters. With the DPOY on him, why do we need to double team Butler?? (sarcasm) When he hit that dagger, I seem to recall him shooting over two players. Want me to send the link? Spo said last night that Butler had the same looks he had in Game 5, but they went in last night. So, he put Butler in a position for him to be successful. That's his job. Smart took more shots in the second half than Brown and Tatum combined. If you think that was Ime's strategy, I can't help you........... I'm with Headley Pp can't guard or get off his shot Grant is pure trash with a big mouth

IME gave Nesmith no minutes during the regular season...... too late now Less Grant? How about NO GRANT?

Boston Globe sports writer. Bias ya recon? It isn't though, it's put out by the league. They shot better, yes. They wanted it more, yes. Lowry, Strus and Butler all hit shots right out of their arses with no time left on the clock, yes. BUT, it was a poorly officiated game on both sides. And our poor calls got Horford and then GWill out of the game. Players, of course win or lose the games, not the refs. Just pointing this out is all.
