Celts Are Never Allowed To Go To Atlanta Again! Loss vs ATL 3/28

LOL at this flop. Unreal.

Paper thin touch foul.

It's because the refs are looking to call the foul. It's because they're not held accountable for making calls like this.

Yeah, that's true.

But the next option is to stop watching the NBA.

Guess we'll just have to live it.

Just 10 years ago it was live with the calls.

Now the players and the coaches and probably their mothers have decided the reffing in the league is corrupt.

There have been at least two different instances of coaches going the **** off on the reffing this year.

Everyone knows what it is.

[The Corey's]

It **** sucks to realize that we don’t have a championship level number 1.

We have one.

He's just not at his full potential yet.

Lebron, Steph, and even MJ didn't get their first ring until they were 27 years old.

Check back in a few weeks because maybe our #1 will surprise you.

If you're talking about Tatum then perhaps it's time you accept that he hasn't shown even the slightest ability that he can be thet guy.

He's had multiple and multiple dozens of chances already.

For every 50 point playoff game he's had he's had how many where he passes the ball to Smart instead?

Tatum is soft. You hear it in his voice whenever he talks.

Only way a change will be made is if the ratings are not good.

Doesn't matter.

Soft or not, we'll still be watching Celtic games for years to come.

It's just entertainment.

As long as I don't lose money watching the Celtics then it's fine.

The championship will come, we just have to wait for it.

[Fierce1]

Take the case of Kevin Durant.

He couldn't win a chip on his own.
So he joined Steph and became a Warrior.

After winning 2 chips and 2 finals MVP, he left because he didn't like being criticized for winning because of Steph.

Look at KD now.
He's still hoping to win a chip without Steph.

If JT still does not win a chip by the time he's 32 years old then that's on JT.

That will be proof that he's not that guy.

But it's too early to say he's not that guy at 26 years old and still does not have a fully developed NBA body.

[Jellybeans]

LOL at people crying about KP
If thats your main concern after Hawks games then no comments
Its should be only about our late game O again and again.Biggest surprise was that JB actually got the ball and made shot. Other then that people just stand around and watch JT

[yeahM8]

We should just iso the whole game so we can get used to it down the stretch.

Ahh. So the results don't matter. Just the entertainment.

Everything makes sense now.

[Mr_Mojo_Risin]

a week ago everybody and their mothers said none of these games would matter. here we are and everyone is panicking and throwing jabs at each other. wild.

Wild. Sad.

Regardless of whether you think JB is great or he sucks, JT is great or soft, Joe is promising or an idiot, not one single one of us know what is going on behind closed doors and we all want the Celts to win.

I get that these threads are often a vent session for some, but when ego and personal attacks take over, it seems perspective is lost.

[Stan34]

Brown showed he should be the one taking the final shot if you're gonna just iso in these situations. He's tougher, way more physical and can get to his spot a lot better than Tatum. I have done a 180 on Brown this season.

please! jb missed his other shots!

Yes but tonight he hits two big ones. The first putting a team up by 3 at the end of the regulation, the other one in OT.

Joe and co.'s main job the final 9 games is to identify the team's exploitable weaknesses and stress points. Find multiple ways to mitigate those. 'Cos every good coach will attack them over and over in the playoffs when they usually don't hurt you in the regular season when teams are focused on their own ****.

Snyder's game plan of eschewing transition defense over crashing the offensive glass worked big time for them. They also know that the Celtics rarely blitz or double. Who cares if it took Murray 40+ shots to get 40+ if his bread-and-butter shot is what killed you in the end against iso defense?

Cs need to be malleable and adaptable while not surrendering their main strengths. And for the love of god, please work on game-winning plays out of timeouts. Watching fadeaways for buzzer beating clanks is getting tiresome.

[zoyathedestroya]

Rare positive net rating in a loss lol.

[Triple7]

That's the right attitude.

Gives you less heartache if it happens.

But on the flipside, it also won't be as gratifying when the Cs win because you know deep down you doubted the team you love.

Nah, it would still be just as satisfying honestly. Maybe even more satisfying. I enjoy being proven wrong in a positive way.

Great answer.

If all the posters here have your attitude then there will be very minimal negativity here.

You probably don’t have a single competitive bone in your body lol. Oh well, just like what you said, it’s only entertainment to you. You don’t give a damn whether we win or lose, or how we lost. It’s all green shades for you. Now i understand. Haha

[zoyathedestroya]

Celtics now 2-10 in games where they're behind by 3 or less in last 10 seconds of the game. Nuggets are worse at 1-6.

CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!

[Jammer]

I've been saying for quite a number of years now that the players union needs to insist on the bottom 10% of the refs being expelled from the league EVERY year, with no chance of return. That would go a long way to removing the INCOMPETENT refs.

It's a talent, skill based job. However, the NBA doesn't remove those that lack the skills to stand up to video review.

The Players Union needs to make that a Deal Breaker section of their Bargaining Agreement. Upgrading the skills of the refs by removing the inattentive, unaware, slow to react, poorly observant, poorly positioned, lousy judgement and phantom calls.

Of course!

Reason why I watch the Celtics is for entertainment.

I mean unless you're one of the owners of the Celtics, there's nothing at stake for us fans.

There's more to life than your favorite NBA team winning or not winning a championship.

I've been flipflopping on this 3-ball thing in the Mazzulla era but I think the Cs should double down on their strength. Don't listen to the "they take too many threes" crowd. As long as they generate wide open looks via ball movement, take those threes. Cs are shooting 42.5% from 3, making 16.6 per game. That combo of volume and accuracy has never been seen in league history. Lean on that. The numbers don't lie. We've had a higher chance of losing when we don't take as many threes. The fight for the margins mean less when our team is +11.4 pts better on threes. On good shooting nights, we're +30 pts on threes, hence the blowouts.

Not saying abandon the post or drives. Mismatches on those lead to easy points or fouls. Opponents doubling lead to defensive rotation and easier looks. Though teams that can defend us in isolation and don't resort to blitzing/doubling seem to give us trouble esp late in games.

Take threes. Make threes. Minimize the margin for error. Increase potential for blowout wins.

Having said that, we still need better offensive execution on last possession shots. Maybe Joe has 30 end-of-game plays waiting to be unleashed in the postseason (but I doubt it lol).

I think they should just feed the ball to porzingis and let him make a play or pass it out. He has shown in the past, he can make the right play. Much like what the nuggets are doing with jokic. The jays can be more efficient with a catch and shoot in the perimeter, same with white and Jrue. Much better than watching Tatum try to get free off the dribble, and chuck off an awkward fade away turn around shot.
