I cracked up laughing so bad. I love him so much. Celtics and other teams that depend on 3-point shooters to win the playoffs need to listen!

Oh please that’s just common sense 😂

And the point about a coach can't give confidence but can take it away. I'm a shooter and ill never need someone else to make me confident in my shot, but the shooting def gets worse when you have a coach that doesn't believe in you and subs you out when you miss a couple.

He needs to start over Strus until Tyler comes back

@@petemuzzillo struts is a dog on defense though believe it or not

It was Duncan’s fault for tossing up bricks and playing terrible D. If anything it’s a feather in Spos cap for being able to recognize the guy you paid isn’t performing and he had a better option on the bench in Max Strus. Spoealstra found 2 contributing players for this squad in the time Robinson was sitting and it’s all paying off now.

@@tjayk9127 did you even watch the Mia v Celtics series last year?

​ TNT halftime show and post game show have higher ratings and not only that they push dumb narratives and agendas that have nothing to do with basketball life or family

I would love to see Stephen A Smith get one of Charles’, “You’re turrible,” when he goes into one of his childish rants. 😂

celtics coach will be be fired before next season. it's his job to make adjustments according to how the game is going. when they almost lost game 6 by shooting like 20% from 3, he cant have them go into game 7 shooting from 3 at high volume again.

Even after 3 straight wins forcing a gane 7 I thought he should be fired. Just listen to his post game interviews ( especially after game 6) Game 7 too. He's stubborn, contrarian, in over his head.

But you should change a winning game. Just because you won, doesn't mean you played bad. You can make mistakes even when you win. You can have a lot of fundamental errors. The other team can play a lot worse than you, and you got lucky. Always look for the opportunities to correct the weaknesses in the game so you don't need to fix the problems in a losing game. Never let up. Champions don't wait to be down to improve. They hunt at all times.

@@LoneWanderer727 I'm assuming you meant DIDN'T play bad. I see your point, but I was thinking more about performance on the day against a particular opponent. Not the process overall, or even the strategy in a series or one big game. Charles was talking about both. Shaq was focused more on within a game. I agree with Barkley that a coach needs to organize his team overall based on its strengths and weaknesses then adjust during a game or series. Based on match-ups or having an off day. There's a great example in golf. Ben Hogan used to lead tournaments, get tired and hook the ball out of bounds during the final rounds. He eventually changed his grip so it was virtually impossible to hook the ball. Golfers are taught to adjust during the round and fix the problem later on the range. In other words deal with the way you're playing today. Of course sticking with failure paid off against the 76ers. But did that strategy work or was Philly just a bad team?

I’m okay with either team winning, but Miami is playing against probably the most efficient team this decade. Jokic and Murray just seem to never have bad games. Miami can’t afford for Bam to disappear.

Yes, I agree. I watch ESPN games on mute because I can't stand their commentary. What's worse is all of the commercials and wokeness that comes along with being an ESPN/ABC broadcast. Not looking forward to it.

I agree, but a close second and moving up fast is the First things First team

Agree. His analysis about the coach was perfect

He said it. If they keep shooting 3s and missing it will be over that should have changed it up.

Nope! He was absolutely wrong.

GUARANTEE!! 😂

If you want to see great coaching and coaching impact in the game,watch Euroleague.

It's true, a coach will have a very small impact on a player like Kobe, but on a player like Vanderbilt or Cam Johnsons the coach can nearly dictate when they will pop off if they are great like coach SPO is.

Same coming from a spurs fan baby beautiful to see

@@swervo1506funny thing as a heat fan, it looks like coach spo is trying to model this team approach after the 2014 spurs. Which till this day that was the best series I’ve seen a team play. They destroyed us that year and with ball movement, defense and a 3 point barrage from Danny green lol with kawhi and Tony Parker driving that offense

They not beating nuggs. East weak in scoring

​@@boxamillion4248 Gabe Vincent and Caleb Martin giving Patti Mills and Danny Green vibes

@Danny I'm glad I finally have the finals I always wanted where I don't really care who wins it as either deserves it. I'm at 55--45% tho in terms of who I'd rather see win it. Denver has 0 chips, so that gives them a little. as to the "odds", I think (am afraid) Denver will steamroll them, but I hope we'll see a 7 game series

Mostly agree as a fellow sixers fan, but I think Boston was just better than Philly and signing Tobias to the max is the most under talked about reason as to why we always come up short.

Heat fan here and couldn’t agree more. I’m a big fan of Embid but what I saw from him last series was depressing. Even blaming his teammates. Not himself. When Joel starts to take responsibility, get in actual NBA playing shape, use his massive size and destroy defenders in the post and midrange and stop taking 3’s, also get rid of Harden who thought it was a good idea to go to Vegas in the middle of that series, only then will the 76ers live to their potential.

Man I’m glad you said it Embid deserves Lebron level heat for straight up QUITTING and suppose to be the MVP. Didn’t care at all. Honestly I lost so much respect for em after that presser I don’t think he that guy.

And he can take that regular season only MVP. Playoffs is where your legacy is made

@@lucky889s9 and we all know that Jokic should have been the MVP again but that fire that Perkins started with making it a race thing, then every black player in the league coming out and pushing for Embid to get it is what tilted that in Embid’s favor.

Been through the fire.
