This game was actually over at the end of the first quarter because this team really comes back after being down at the end of the first

Everything the Celtics have done wrong this season has come back to bite them in the worst way. Turnovers, missed FTs, bad defense, inconsistent shooting, bad coaching. It’s all magnified, changes need to be made.

Nothing went right today. Shot terribly, Brown got in foul trouble, every close ball fell off the rim, Sixers hit shots whenever they needed one, ect ect.

Disappointing yes but is it actually a surprise?

I said it after game 1...people got mad. That game exposed them for what they are. This game just reinforcing it. So much talent just not enough grit. Really average coaching.

It's over. Save the guys for game 6 now. Throw in Hauser and Grant and Muscala at this point.

The game 4 coaching blunders may have cost us a title this year. Disgusting.

Falling in love with the help. I miss when Brad had us defend straight up, let Embiid score 50 and win the game locking everybody else down.

But Joe lolol pathetic.

Absolutely pathetic performance. Second round, game 5 at home with the most talented team we’ve had for a decade plus.

Bar Fight · Post #1353 » by **Bar Fight** » Wed May 10, 2023 1:32 am

We have to be the worst shot contesting team in the league. Our defense is literally "hope they miss". And the few times we actually contest, we foul them. Again, this is not a good defensive basketball team.

I like how we have Rob Williams but he's useless... wtf happened to this guy if he didnt get wrecked from his knee surgery and subsequently played anyways? C's ruined him letting him play after that, I'm still pissed about it.

76ers are shooting 50/38 from the field...Embiid got 4 FT jumpers in a row off the same play last quarter. Joe is in way over his head with zero answers.

Hard to get back into a game when the defense is not there. What a pathetic showing by this bunch.

I miss Avery Bradley.

He probably set the tone early when he missed everything.

This is basically the same team, if not better. What really changed from last year to this year?

The coach. It's a coaching issue.

So are you implying that he's doing anything to help them win games? Even Stevie Wonder can see clearly has no business being a head coach in the NBA.
