A perk up is the Boston Celtics.

They've lost three in a row.

They just got routed by the Atlanta Hawks.

And you said that this is rock bottom for Boston.

Take us inside What you made of yesterday's performance, especially on this big time Celtics quote unquote Big Three.

I mean, it's just pathetic.

And from a former a former champion playing in Boston for 8.5 years, this is unacceptable.

I mean, just think about it last night.

We're talking about Gallinari, a guy that's probably not faster than me.

Obviously, he could shoot the lights out, but he had 38 points last night.

And with all that athleticism at the wing position with Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown and Grant Williams and Shimmy O.

J L.

A.

And all those guys they could have threw at him toe slow him down and close out on him, they just let him go.

And what that shows to me is that it's a lack of accountability, and now it's time to really start looking at Brad Stevens.

Look, we plays Brad Stevens I was a guy that has has given him his flowers in the past when the Celtics are playing well.

But right now, when you watch the Celtics on the defense event and the offensive end, it's a lack of accountability.

You have role players doing things that they're not supposed to be doing.

I love Tristian Thompson, but I'm watching certain place where he's catching the ball at the elbow and he's trying to go between his legs and do in and out the steady going, quick dribble handoff with Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown coming off him, rolling to the basket and being a lob three at the rim.

You watching guys like Daniel tights walk into three point shots early in the shot clock on fast breaks like those type of things are unacceptable.

And what that goes to show me is that Brad Stevens is not holding these guys accountable.

And last thing all I keep hearing is when I say anything about Brad getting on players Oh, that's not in his demeanor.

That's not who he is.

What do you mean?

That's not who he big coach, Big perk.

I've been saying this from the beginning because, you know, when that whole Kyrie Irving situation happened, I said, Okay, all the blame is going on Kyrie.

But isn't it the head coach's job to manage personalities?

And I was always worried about Brad Stevens because he's great at excess and those but managing and motivating personalities.

That's a different conversation.

So I'm on the same page.

You page with you.

The question is, if Brad Stevens isn't it, who's the answer for the Boston Celtics at a head coaching position?

Well, I mean, I mean, I don't I don't know.

But my thing is, is that, you know, way you know, Boston is a city and we hold players accountable all the time, right?

Not just in Boston, but overall, right in the NFL, N b A.

Guys get held.

Brad has to get held accountable.

It was times where when I was playing in in Boston, Doc Rivers got held accountable.

It's just that Brad is gonna have to switch things up.

If not that Dani ain't got to go out and find someone else that's going to come in and not be afraid.

Toe address.

Jayson Tatum and Jalen Brown and and and call them out.

Search, uh, situations are Call a time out and and go crazy on the sideline like you need that.

I don't know who's who could be the culture who could replace Brad.

I'm not even saying that Brad needs to get fired.

I'm saying that Brad needs toe elevate and he needs to get better and elevate his His His situation elevate himself to help themselves, because right now he's not doing anything anyway.
