Brad Stevens is such a turd.

You challenge that? Not the Crowder play, but that?

Ainge didn’t make a solitary move. We need better players to compete. It’s pretty simple. Having no bench means the starters have to press for 48 minutes.



I don’t wanna hear that nonsense!!! They had a 13 point lead. They’re bunch of choking dogs!!!


That lead was fools gold. The second Miami cranked up the intensity, the team folded

I really thought we had a genius for our head coach but turns out we have a man who hasn't figured out the nba game.


Players have to look at themselves. They’re choking just like the clippers did.


Right. Except this is a common occurrence with stevens coached teams. His offensive play calling is ass water.

Remember, at worst team is the 4th nest team in the league this year, without hayward, and with the 2 best players under the age of 23.

Team has holes, some pretty big ones that with just shear heart and grit were able to overcome

Danny has work to do amd Brad needs to ask whoever has them for his balls back

Yes you challenge the fourth foul on your best player when it was clearly a bad call. Brad has sucked at the challenge all year. Makes a bad challenge last game which would have given us A timeout to run a good play last game.

I disagree so hard. Fourth foul? Who cares. It wouldn't be overturned and then you just wasted your challenge in a close game.


How do you know? Their wasn’t a push off and jones was hopping the entire time and ran into Olynyk. Plus it would have been an and 1. So yeah worth the challenge. Plus if it’s successful , you get another one.

I don't know. I would just save my challenge for the final few minutes of a close game. Of course he's wasting a challenge here because the refs are blind. Pretty bad job by Stevens and the refs right now.

Tatum lost his swag from last game. He was absolutely confident in the first three quarters of Game 1, then just kind of fell apart in crunch time. Now he looks out of it. What the hell

Like I said, Miami is just playing with more force, effort, passion and focus. Miami playing like they are desperate to go to the Finals.

Celtics haven’t matched any of that.

My god. Stop the PnR. What terrible defense. And on offense it is Tatum stopping the ball too much.

He's going to challenge that one? Nice.

We look flat. No momentum, Miami is way more hyped up than we are. We don't even complain properly on calls. Jesus. Dead team.

Very winnable game, but we just don’t look ready. The Heat are tough and the refs aren’t doing us any favors.

I think this is Stevens sending a message to the players.

Every SINGLE **** play is important. It's the **** 4th.

So he'll burn his challenge early.

We could still win this game if things bounce our way but only if we sell out on every single play and play the game the right way.
