Game Thread – Celtics @ Timberwolves – 8:00PM, Mon, Nov. 6, 2023

Yep, and my point is, it works against lesser defensive teams. Faced with physical, tough play, we crumble. See Warriors/Heat in the past. Call it confirmation bias but it's what I've been seeing past few years.

It's not changing until we get a real coach.

Huh? The issue Zoya is talking about - it was an issue when Udoka and Brad were coaching too.

Let's not overreact here, though. It's our 1st loss of the season. Obviously we weren't going 82-0.

Spin all you want. He's a deadbeat coach and we're in for another season of proof of that fact.

I really thought we were going 82-0.

I'll check back in with you as the season goes on. You won't like it.

The Nuggets don't. The Warriors don't. If we're going iso ball, our stars have to be elite at it. Or at least read defenses better.

They do though. Lol in the clutch teams space out and put the ball in their best players hands. That’s what we did. That’s what they did. Their guy did it better. Nobody is passing the ball around 10 times in order to get Hauser a shot. Don’t complain about iso ball, complain about the fact our two best guys are not good enough to do it at times.

Yep. They put the ball in the stars hands and they read the defense better, pass when they should, take the shot when they should. Our guys just keep chucking. No need to pass the ball 7x. Set a screen. Draw a double. Something else other than dribble for 10 seconds and chuck from three. Or drive into traffic.

You’re only talking about Steph Curry and Nikola Jokic here, you do know that? lol

Plus we did set hundreds of screens and Minny switched everything. They didn’t need to double because McDaniels locked everything up and the rim was protected to stop our drives. When we tried to pass we turned the ball over, like when Tatum missed Brown in the corner.

Iso was the way and we missed, they made it. Tough. On to the next.

So you're actively rooting for the Celtics to fail? Weird behavior, man.

Also, when you check in with me later in the season, I sure hope you're able to articulate a more insightful argument than "Mazzulla isn't it" or "he's a deadbeat coach".

That's weak.

Shut up. I've been a fan of this team for decades.

Go back to obsessing about the 15th man on the roster.

[Red2]

Call me old school but Derrick White had to play in this game

[jonige94]

Same old, same old.

We wont win **** again, we keep on insisting on the same formula.

[ThePigeon]

White is our ball movement
Without him we got stagnant offense
Also, our bench is not good right now
PP is not it yet (I doubt he will ever be - too small), Hauser is mediocre and Al's age is catching him. Last two years he gets targeted by elite wings and abused regularly

[Homerclease]

No he didn’t. It’s game 6 of the regular season

That’s not what he said.

Tough loss. Not the end of the world but Mazzulas bad habits came back at the end. They'll slap the Sixers tomorrow as usual and we'll forget about this loss.

[Hal14]

Same old, same old.

The formula that resulted in us winning clutch time games vs 2 good teams (Miami, knicks) already this season?

Relax, it's just 1 game.

[Curmudgeon]

They were without their second best player, so I won't dwell on how badly Tatum and Brown played in the last 3 minutes of the game.
