Not one alpha on this team that wants to takeover.

There are some very weird takes on this board after a loss. Boston was always going to be a tough game no matter what.

That’s because the goto play is get the ball to BI no matter what. Trading BI might be addition by subtraction just because it would force you to have Zion attacking with shooters on the wings.

That is my exact thought. No one has that killer instinct—. Always settling for just shot late I. Game instead of driving to the rim…

This x100. Please for the love of god Griff save Willie from himself and find a way to get BI and Naji on someone else’s roster before the deadline.

Unfortunately CJ is the beta. I want him to not be the beta. But he’s the beta

ETA: 4 turnovers, 2 assists, 2 rebounds, 1-5 3pt

That’s beta af from your starting point guard / combo guard

Biggest issue is these guys don't take what the defenses give them. We force the issue a lot at the close of games. We relentlessly try to attack the rim and the midrange when defenses are set up camp to stop it. And we play right into their hands.

We should be shooting a ton of threes to close the games with really good spacers and shooters on the floor to open things up for our stars.

We don't play smart and unless we can out talent them, we lose every time forcing the issue.

They follow the coach's passive attitude. Willie is by far the biggest issue with this team.

I just want a coach that curses at his players, refs, and understands the flow of a basketball game. I as a fan should not know that these are bad rotations after 50 games of the same shite. Willie just isn’t learning- thats a major problem.

Who should be shooting a ton of 3’s with BI, CJ, Herb, Zion and Larry on the floor?

When its a close game. Willie goes back to dumb rotations which basically stop us from winning the game. His feel for the how the gane is flowing is just atrocious.

That shouldnt be the closing lineup knowing what we know. We can't rebound or defend with the lineup above. We should be running a more offensive lineup and We should be running a 5-out offense with actual shooters on the floor.

That’s my point. Willie has to adjust or has to go. He has the championship pieces at his disposal. But it takes some hard decisions and conversations with veteran players which Willie won’t do

ETA: Hawkins is a better basketball player than CJ right now. But that’s hard for a coach to say or implement.

Stop it. Hes not. This is where you guys go overboard. CJ sucked tonight but this is not remotely true.

the 10 seconds on the clock and TRY a high pick and roll and have everyone else stand still every time isn't going to work.
