Its easy to shit on him but Tatum is really fucking good.

Jaylen Brown otoh is really fucking overrated. The second best player on the team is Derrick White.

1) Mikal Bridges is substantively correct, IMO

2) it’s admittedly irrational but I’m slightly annoyed to hear complaints from him, given that he’s by and large underwhelmed

3) I had already reached the point where I felt like Thibs had to over perform in the playoffs, i.e. beat the Cavs or Celtics, to keep his job, and that was solely due to red flags on the basketball side of things. To the extent we know have locker room issues, it reinforces that sentiment.

4) I still wish we used the last roster spot on someone who could play.

5) if we close the season out strongly this will be forgotten.
