Super disappointed that Spo can’t find time for him, particularly alongside Edrice. They should be a match made in heaven. Instead, Jovic is beyond Yurt’d and won’t see any time again.

Spo is a fantastic coach, but his tendency to overrate the Gabe Vincent’s, Max Strus’, Dru Smith’s, Haywood Highsmith’s, Yakouba Diawara’s of the world is mind boggling. Particularly when you have a 4 that started for his team in the World Cup sitting there.

I'll ask the same question I always ask when this type of complaint comes up ... Is there a long list of guys that Spo "wouldn't play" that have gone on to success elsewhere? For whatever reason it's easier for fans to believe that Spo simply doesn't want to play a good player, than it is to believe that maybe that guy just isn't that good, or that he doesn't do the little things that you need players to do so that you can rely on them.

I can't tell you why Jovic isn't getting time, but I can assure you that it isn't because he's too good. I assume it has something to do with his reliability on defense, but ... :dontknow:

But that was a foul. Derrick white basically whacked his forearm. Just like Holiday did to JJJ when he went up for the dunk. Lol at ESPN not saying that was a foul.

ya know what its fine and actually worse for the Celtics. They rely on complaining to the refs and begging for cheap calls and they get them. But in the playoffs they wont get them and they will be confused why and they wont win the games they think they can win. So its fine. Have this one. We will see you in the playoffs.

Dru Smith from unplayable back up Euroleague player to borderline defensive 3 and D goat in the space of 1 game.

For sure. He’s saving himself for KAT and Antman.

15 FTA for the Heat in the 4th vs 19 for the Celtics for the entire game. But sure the refs had a Celtics slant

Cmon now, I'm not calling your win a ref-job, but there was some expected home cooking. Most of those blocks had illegal contact that wasn't called and we can't act like momentum doesn't matter. It is what it is. We're missing some important rotational players, played on the road, had to deal with home cooking, and your team capitalized on it. Enjoy the win. It's a long season.

I disagree and I'd love to debate you but i'll leave it at that because apparently my first message was flagged for trolling so I don't want to get banned.
