When Tatum dunked on Bron, THAT was the time to go exclusively to Tatum. He's either scoring or going to FT line.

HE CAN'T TAKE THE SHOTS FOR THEM AND COACH THEM!

But he can pull guys when they shoot us out of the game, right? Isn't that part of the coach's job?

Or how about this - instill some discipline in your guys so that they don't effing shoot us out of games like that.

I don't get it. How can the coach not be getting heat when he's letting 1 or 2 guys shoot you out of the game?

I have a hard time thinking Red, pop, or Jackson would allow this to happen.

Should've put in Nader. That was the key ::)

As far as instilling discipline, those Rozier pull up 3's drives him as crazy as it does all of us. Smart's shot selection has been garbage since he played at OK State. He's a coach, not a miracle worker. He draws up the gameplan, the players have to execute.

If just one of 3 things happen: 1.) Terry Rozier gives us a mediocre game instead of a terrible one   2.) Jaylen Brown shows up   3.) Al Horford doesn't' disappear after one quarter   we win this game.

If he can't stop a role player like Rozier from shooting us out of the game in the third quarter of an Eastern Conference Finals Game 7, perhaps he should find another career. Dude needs to grow a pair and reign in his players.

Sitting on his hands and allowing Rozier to simply shoot us out of the game during that stretch run is ABSOLUTELY , 100% on Brad. Do you think Pop would've let someone like Green do that? F NO! He would've pulled his arse and gave him an arse chewing on the sideline for not playing within the flow of the game.

Dude is a good, quality coach, but he is SOOOO overrated on this blog and in the media in general. And he has several weak areas that really hurt us in games, as it did tonight.

good luck getting them to understand that

4 rebounds by Al did not  help either- God knows we missed a ton of shots so there were plenty to go after- How does Al have least amount of rebounds at home of all our starters? Even Terry had 4 - That was Blount like rebounding in most important game of his career-

Stevens did almost as much as humanly possible but we all can learn from experiences when results are not favorable- he will learn in areas he lost out on-

Lue’s  ability to take Horford out of the game and Steven’s inability to counter it, was big. Yes we missed a ton of shots but in game sevens, the Vet max player needs to find way to get better in the flow when it matters.

Is that the plan?  Really.  He’s not lebron.  Tatum isn’t ready for that just yet.

If anyone here is really trying to throw Brad under the bus we could always bring THIS guy back


At least his teams in Boston played like they had a brain.

No, they really didn't, lol ;D. Only Rondo could possibly cover for the vast majority of Doc's incredibly stupid coaching, imo.

AHHH YES JUMPSHOT DOC. HEY ITS A MAKE OR MISS LEAGUE? ROLLING EYES

There as absolutely nothing the coach could have to change the result tonight.  It wasn't because he played the wrong guys or made the wrong subs or had the wrong strategy. He put them in a position to win - the players couldn't make enough shots.

Uhhhhhhhh, literally pulling Rozier in the third and putting Smart in rather than letting Rozier shoot us out of the game on 3-4 straight possessions literally might've won the game for us. That was the run that got them the lead in the first place.

I don't understand the leeway this guy gets around here when he clearly makes bad decisions that another coach like Ty Lue would get RIPPED apart for.
Smart wasn't much better offensively.  Your only other option is play with no point guard, go big and have Al walk it up.  With Rozier, Brown, Morris and Smart laying as many bricks as they did they weren't winning this game.

But Smart gets others involved, and he wasn't jacking nearly the number of junk threes that Rozier was. Putting him in to calm the tide and stop Rozier from further hemorrhaging us very well could've been the difference in the game.

*whispers*
But Marcus Smart was 1-10 from the field, including 0-4 from 3. He was just as garbage as Terry was.

So coach, what do you want to do in terms of half-court offense, tonight?

Doc: get stops and push the basketball.

But what happens when the game slows down and we have to take the ball out of the net, etc.?

Doc: GET STOPS AND PUSH THE BASKETBALL!

We need to retire the "Jaylen Brown is a future star" talk for the foreseeable future. Stars show up when it counts the most.

Jaylen Brown is a future star.

Wow this is just idiotic...what games have you been watching.

Steven's let Rozier and Smart shoot them out the game. He did nothing to stop horrendous shooting. This loss kn Stevens..period. He won a lot of games but this one he lost.

You guys hating on Brad are the same wrong people who were trying to run Ainge out of town. We were here because of his coaching. Brad didn't miss 32 three pointers tonight. Brad didn't call a one sided reffing game where LeBron was clearly going to go to the finals no matter what. Terry laid an egg. Brown laid an egg, and smart did as well. They missed wide open threes that if they had hit even 5-6 more you would be claiming Brad was a genius.

Man, I have to say it.  Some of you people are positively nut jobs.  We had a back up PG bricking shots, his back up bricking shots, a supposed up and coming star bricking shots, and it’s the coaches fault?  Are you people crazy?!?

Was he was supposed to play Nader?  Or how about Larkin in street clothes?  You don’t just tell players to be disciplined.  You don’t just tell players to take good shots.  Fact is, the better the player, the better the shots.

Say it louder for the cheap seats in the back.

When Rozier hit those shots against Milwaukee, Brad was great for empowering him right? There's a line to walk, for those most part Brad pulls it off.

I’ll set the over under of all star games at 2 and take the under.

Maybe in terms of shooting he was just as bad. But in terms of playmaking, running the point, defence and making gritty plays they're not comparable
