Tom Thibs is a good coach, however he does not go out of scope in his process and NY bench players he trusts for minutes. Not everyone is stardom as Brunson Or K.A Towns. For example this coach had YET in vital spots try to find capable "HOT Hands" players.

They could be in flow doing positives on defender help or 1 & 1 defense. 🤔 Likewise let these players has role in positions to knock down jumpers. Thence gives confidence to hot hand and spread it out. Naturally everything goes thru Rick Brunson however there need to be flow of GOOD shots,and even as some are missed the shots has to be easy shots.

That's why Thibs can't adjust to flow of game by offensive guys capable of sharing the rock/ball.
😎🏀. Thus Tom.T is good coach X's and O's but very stubborn and it will be his downfall!!!🤨

who should he play more? McBride shooting 27% Mitch turning the ball over and cant hit a FT. Shamet get's scored on every time. Payne got hot once and the coach literally rode him.

So do tell what's he's being stubborn on? What rotation options has he had besides yanked the bench guy who's playing like ****? Precious? I'm here for it... run him out there vs. Tatum. Should be great for us

The fact is this team needs time to balance out the roster. This is just year one. Towns was traded here as the season was starting. It takes time, and we just have to enjoy being in position to be one of the 8 remaining teams once again, because that has been a very infrequent thing over the last 25 years.

Some don’t understand that this roster is not yet complete.

Main adjustment, I feel, Thibs has to address is Hart.
Celtics will put KP on him so that he can help in the paint against Brunson.
May be time to have either Precious or Mitch with KAT.

if they put KP on Hart then we must find KAT in the post, or spread let him blow by KP. This notion that Josh has our offense at some kind of 4 on 5 is nuts. Lots of internet folks think Celtics dont have to guard him. Im great with that game plan. That's what got him all the triple/doubles

I take everything back. Hart is just different and what’s needed on any team.
He is a dawg! Been more aggressive this series. Think he learned from last year.
Huge game yesterday. Will keep my money on him.

Looks like Thibs saw DJs post and said, oh yeah…..I’ll show him. Drop coverage GONE.

Josh is the guy who steps up when the team is struggling and puts us in position for Brunson to get us over the hump. You're absolutely right, he gives us whatever we need at the time. For someone the opposing team wants to drop off of, he's shooting 44% from 3 in the playoffs!

Hart always steps up in the playoffs. You have to take the good with the bad, but the good outweighs the bad so much.

I agree. I love harts energy and it’s contagious. With that said, he should’ve came off the bench several games ago. And Mitch should be starting. Also delon wright should be in the rotation. But Hart is the perfect 6 man for a championship team.

The Celtics have 5 starters that can hit 3’s. I’m tired of fans saying we are built to beat the Celtics. Not true, when you have 3 players out of 5 that cant hit open 3s. Celtics have 5 guys that can hit open or contested 3s.

I still like our chances but if we lose Monday, it’s back to 0-0
