Some of the passes he makes are of the thread the needle variety. I see JB looking for his shot too much when we need a more balanced offense.

Joe Mouslla is idiot but Mitch Robinson is a bad free throw shooter who doesn’t work on his free throw. It’s time to take the training wheels off Mitch Robinson and actually work on the basics like free throw shooting.

Anthony Mason got his free throws up to 73%. Granted he used a very unorthodox shooting technique but who cares if it goes in?

Mase had talent, could initiate offense, dribble and score even against 2 defenders.

Mitch needs a fork to control ball and sometimes struggles to score against the rim.

Is it me or if this as close Brunson will ever get to criticism of coaching strategy?

“20-40 from 3, a lot we need to discuss tomorrow”

He;s maybe the biggest culprit- lost all over on D and when not lost at 3 point line getting posted under basket by everyone or late to get out on wing 3s

We sucker punched them and they were stunned...now they've punched back and remembered they've beat us up most of the year. Next game's energy will tell if it was 2 fluke wins or that we are able to regroup and punch back harder because it will take that to beat Boston 2 more times. Can't wait for game 4 Monday!

I think winner will be determined by which D is more forceful and is able to extend opposition offense out closer to 1/2 court with heavy / contained ball pressure. Not sure we can do this without more Mitch/Deuce minutes.

This is hard to watch and definitely looks like full blown KAT DROP and not just miscommunication on KATs part

Ok just watched that more closely.

Almost all of those wear off drop coverage.

There were 2 late in clip with OG/Kat where they do exact opposite.

1st 1 OG bitches at Kat because he thinks Kat is low/late to come up for switch (Tatum 3).

2nd 1 Kat steps up to switch to Tatum but inexplicably now OG leaves Horford to run over to Kat and double Tatum.

Just switch everything play solid man and don’t bail them out fouling on drives —- leave Jalen/Kat 1 on 1 and live with it.

I think KAT has developed a style of defense that helps him avoid fouling out in one quarter.

If KAT actually tries to play defense the refs will bench him in the first qtr. that’s what happened game 1.

That’s on him though — he keeps reaching and pushing for no reason. Just defend for christ sakes.

I loved Mase but no way could he exist in today’s nba.

Sounds crazy but if KAT comes off the bench it prevents him from going into early foul trouble and Celtics can’t do Hack a Mitch for at least first 10 minutes of the 1st qtr.

Media will have a field day but f ck em

If I was coaching (give it time), my starting five would be:
MR
KAT
OG
Bridges
Brunson

With my bench being
Cam
Deuce
Hart
Precious.

Get it done and we losing 6 and Thibs gets fired .

But seriously, how much can it hurt to try for a half?

I like the big lineup with Mitch and KAT and it has given both the pistons and Celtics problems but you can’t have both on the floor against the Celtics because the refs are out for blood with KAT and the Celtics will go into the penalty on purpose to do Hack-a-Mitch.

If you start Mitch or even more subtly start KAT then sub him out early for Mitch it f cks up the Celtics and refs’ strategy. KAT cannot go into foul trouble early and it’s too early in the first quarter to initiate Hack-a-Mitch.
