he has a point. team was done no matter what this post season though, still getting swept is embarrassing.

honestly if i was him, i'd want out. let em keep Simmons. that franchise been really mismanaged the last few years.

It's never his fault.
They get him the ball only for him to get doubled into a turnover and it's they didn't get him the ball fast enough
Ben out and they center the whole offense around him and shooters on the perimeter and it becomes the shooters ain't good enough
I'm sure the body language and fatigue issues somebody else fault too

If Joel simply learns how to anticipate the double team and toss the ball out then re-establish deeper post position that in itself would greatly reduce a large amount of his turn overs and thus make him a more consistent scoring threat....also he operates phenomenally out of the face up position...his pump fake threat is real..but he needs to be more patient when he gets the defender to bite off the fake and learn how to keep his head up so he can see the double coming and kick out...you don't always have to barrel to the rim you can fake take a step forward and take that jumper or pass to the open man ... From my observation a large majority of his mistakes on offense come from him panicking in traffic...he has to learn how to anticipate the fact that teams are going to blitz him because he's a great player...if he can do that he'd be way more potent... It's not his body or style of play that's the problem it's the sloppy uncalled for mistakes that kill him

Shaq, his soft goofy ass can't even be Corliss Williamson.

I don't ever remember seeing a Center in the post looking for the refs to bail him out every time he gets the ball.

Boston has no big man, none what so ever. You telling me you can't put up 30 a game on Theis, lol.
He averaged 30 for the series dumb ass casual :mjlol:
