Meanwhile, that Joey guy makes zero adjustments. Zero.
I've been hard on Joe all year but tonight is about the lack of effort and composure from the players.
It's about getting dominated on the boards and not making a adjustment.

I feel oddly numb to this. I know we're going to win this series. This is disappointing and embarrassing, and yet I'm not pissed off.

6-18 from 2pt range.
Lousy rebounding percentages at both ends of the floor.

It's not if we lose but the manner. Has already stated this is the worst half we have played for the entire season what is that about 100 games???
Literally the most pathetic performance when 18 is standing right on front of us **** that there is no excuses.

What does that have to do with coming out and playing like this tonight? They had a chance to cement themselves in the record books as the only team to sweep both the conference finals and the nba finals since every round went to best of 7. I actually expected a Mavs win tonight but in close, hard fought fashion. Not whatever this is. They should be embarrassed and hopefully they take it to heart and beat Dallas by 50 next game.
I'll sleep just fine with the title. Those records don't mean **** to me.
Except how many banners.
Last I checked the series ends when a team wins 4 games, not 3. Right now we're looking like a vastly inferior team with no realistic solution for defending the paint / grabbing boards which is a big problem against a team like Dallas.
I got no time for Anyone who thinks Boston is dropping 4 straight.
Don't embarrass your self with that kind of receipt.

Anybody reasonable knowing how good Dallas is should have been super happy 3-1 going into a game 5 at home. The only caveat is KP's health and maybe Dallas has figured something out/regained confidence.
Dallas has just outplayed the Celtics this game. Gotta give them credit. They are not a bunch of stiffs.
If the game isn't within around 17 going into the 4th, I'd pull every good player. Not worth risking injury to anyone in rotation for the 1-2% chance that the team can come back.

Yeah because multi championship teams always sweep everyone and never lose on the road.
Not condoning the negativity, but obviously being down 26 and only scoring 35 in a half is what they mean. Not the simplistic fact that they’re down on the road after being up 3-0.

Rather lose like this than at the buzzer.
Try and get this to 10 by the start of the 4th, if not, then pull the guys and re-group for Monday.

Problem is if they lose Game 5 they are in big trouble. Can’t mess around in the NBA Finals

They are not some scrub team.

Your faith is stronger than mine.. Again an ice cold game or an injury and this whole series could make A U turn real fast.
I've Lived long enough to see crazy **** happened.. And I've also witnessed winning only one title in the last 38 years or whatever
Never take anything for granted
