I swear I’ve never actually seen Nurse coach by talking to his players, he spends the entirety of the game working the refs.
Truthfully I don’t know.What is the proper amount from your couch? Numerous other NBA stars do far worse without repercussions. I think 'superstar' calls are true and crap, but JT is a top 5 player and gets nothing.
Then like WTF did Nurse do? They seem to be way overcalling this stuff
The turnovers aren’t helping either. I guess they read the injury report.This is lower than YMCA level defense from the Celtics tonight
I'm blanking - Nesmith?Can’t even describe how good it feels that we FINALLY hit on a cheap deadeye sniper after trying for so long and even letting a really good one go.
Ugh Perk lost me with the Joker slander last year...don't miss himDisagree. I like Perk, despite the imperfect diction. He’s not afraid to be extremely critical
Are you really trying to claim that Perk doesn’t know the NBA?I’m always fucking stunned when someone admits to liking Perk or sticking up for him.
He’s fucking terrible. He has no idea what he’s talking about. He’s just intelligent enough to know that being “extremely critical” (even when it’s not deserved) gets him clicks and discussion.
Disagree. Not that he doesn’t still whine to the point of distraction, and not that it seems to have ramped up a bit as the season has gone on, but it still doesn’t feel close to how it sometimes used to get. Felt like he routinely missed entire defensive possessions gesticulating under the other baseline.Truthfully I don’t know.
What I do know is that saying Tatum has noticeably stopped whining and complaining compared to previous years is absolute bullshit. He still whines and complains too much. Is it as bad as Draymond or LeBron? Fuck no. He’s way better than them but it’s still too much because he still keeps getting techs
Nah we had Max Strus in training camp at one point and cut himI'm blanking - Nesmith?
Yes…I am. He’s a moron. The fact that he’s taken advantage of a broken system and network doesn’t make me like him more or make me think he’s worthy of a spot.Are you really trying to claim that Perk doesn’t know the NBA?
If he didn’t clickbate, he’d be the third string analyst on the local Celtics broadcast.
The ESPN presentation of NBA basketball has been a disaster for a long time. Perk saw an opening, and grabbed it
Nesmith was the “safe” version as a high draft pick, and as mikeford mentioned we kept Tatum’s bff Javonte Green over Strus.I'm blanking - Nesmith?
But the refs don't T up LBJ or Dray or numerous others. So that is JT fault he is getting Ts for LESS histrionics vs LBJ et al? ... or maybe the refs who wont versus LBJ or Dray. To be fair they are likely scared Dray chokeholds them! haha.Truthfully I don’t know.

Strus is a 37.2% 3pt shooter for his career, completely overratedGotta be Strus.
Dray and LBJ aren’t fair comparisons.But the refs don't T up LBJ or Dray or numerous others. So that is JT fault he is getting Ts for LESS histrionics vs LBJ et al? ... or maybe the refs who wont versus LBJ or Dray. To be fair they are likely scared Dray chokeholds them! haha.
Overall, I agree, focus more on the game and what one can control. But there is a point where the Ts don't match the actions vs the rest of the NBA. Plus this one, he was like chirping while playing D. Ref is just embarrassed, boo hoo.
This defense is gonna kill me.These turnovers are gonna kill me.
And all 4 of them were obviousFour turnovers by Tatum, and we're barely 12 minutes into the game.
