Celts Build Brick Wall, Put Their Backs Against It! G5 Loss vs PHI 5/9 (PHI leads 3-2)

[fallguy]

Good god, everyone blaming Joe are truly delusional. Players win games and lose them. Players need to nut up. And the Celtics have not to date. I don’t give a ****who the coach is; it comes down to the players and drive.

The team can’t beat a zone under 3 different head coaches. That says more about the players than the coaches. 80% of the NBA can destroy a zone defense except this idiots

This is true.

Joe should also be coaching a high school team.

Brad **** up big time.

This team is not winning a championship... Congrats to the Lakers on officially becoming the best franchise in the NBA with 18 and LeGOAT on his 5th ring.

Winner of Suns/Nuggets will beat LA.

I hope you are right but I do not underestimate the political factor Of the lakers and lebron winning.

You must have missed the part where Doc Rivers has coached circles around Joe. And Doc has never out-coached anyone.

Reporter ‘was the drop and leaving Embiid open for FT jumpers a part of the scheme?’

Joe ‘our offense created that, we didnt get into transition and missed open shots and that puts pressure on your half court drfense’

I kid you not he **** blamed his **** scheme on the offense lmao

Im dead.

He's incompetent. There's no other conclusion to come to.

Dude is an assistant coach AT BEST. And at this point, that might even be a little generous.

That’s a veil shot at the coach in my opinion

Rob is no longer the defensive force he was and I think a large part of that is his success was as a help safety in a double big lineup where Al would body the center. We really need a way to get him going defensively as a lot of our defensive success last year was based on intimidation that would allow the perimeter defenders to cheat a little more.

Horford is old/washed/tired and cannot defend the perimeter anymore. That's why we played drop coverage the entire season and whenever he switched onto a guard they cooked him. You can't play the double big line ups like last year because of that.

Last year teams stayed away from attacking Horford because he was a beast defensively, so we got away with Horford glued to the center with Rob on the perimeter.

That's not to say Rob himself hasn't regressed. He put up 4/2/0/0/0 today in 20 mins. Lack of lobs and lack of rebounds speaks a lot to his health.

Yeah sadly I agree with this....I still think it's worth a look here and there to try and get Rob going.

At this point I'm just desperate for Joe to try anything different because Philly have become far too comfortable with the status-quo.

Put Rob back in the starting lineup for game 6 and play him for 30 minutes. It's do or die. **** it.

They have harden, 40 yr old tucker and embiid on the court a ton….how they don’t push the pace off every miss consistently baffles me

Was he talking about the ball coming off his hands clanking 7 times consecutively?

This loss is actually not as bad as Gme 4, as we should have won that one and deserved to lose this one.

Mazzulla has also changed this teams identity from last year and tonight was a prime example of that identity leading to a complete implosion.

To win games consistently they need to be draining heaps of shots. The room for error in the playoffs is tiny.

We’re exactly like the 2018 Rockets. One bad shooting game and there’s no way we can possibly win because we don’t try hard enough defensively.

I think it sucks its about to come to this, but my bet is that JB is the one who gets thrown on this sword.

I'm a JB fan boy, but would Wyc even entertain staying deep in the tax for this bunch? I wouldnt.

JB for Beal (if he's even trade eligible) in a 3 team deal is my bet.

Just for the record, JB is pretty far down the list of whats wrong with this team imo

[Tyakack]

Tbh, we deserve to lose just from losing game 1 without embiid. That should have been a dead giveaway that this team ain't built right. Not to mention, championship teams don't lose at home on a routine basis.

MAYBE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT OUR OFFENSE IS FOUR GUYS STANDING AROUND WATCHING WHILE SOMEBODY ELSE JACKS UP A THREE JOE LIKES MATH

Beals deal is worse than Jaylens because he’s older and now more injury prone

That might help and that might not but my God has to try something can I keep using the same flawed schemes and rotation
