This core run ended with loss at Warriors. Brown should have been traded for Durant to give this team a lift after losing in the Finals. Trade Smart, Brown this summer. Especially Brown. He can't be supermaxed.

Well, if I told you guys I'm surprised with this, I'd be lying. But hey, at least we get to see Joe fired when this series ends. There hasn't been such an humiliation on us like this in like 15 or so years? So yeah, no chance at all he's staying.

They don't give a ****. All they care about is money and playing with their friends. This ain't the 90s/early 2000s no more :roll:

Still confident in that. Break up the core, get a new coach.

Mitchell. Simple as that. We are missing penetration…. He provides that

Lmao. Another playoff choker

Mitchell has average 30+ in the playoffs twice. Dude can play, he just shouldn’t be first option. He’d work well off Tatum. It’s about fit

Boy did I hate that Unfinished Business thing they were doing even before this series.

Brad should have pulled the trigger and dumped Brown to Brooklyn he had his chance but instead pooped his pants like an idiot

Gary's contempt for Joe and this team is so palpable.

Green teamer culture is strong in Boston.

They don't take shots at the hand that feeds.

Boston used to be a negativity town but really no one really digs deep at the Celtics and they **** deserve it.

That’s still a huge question mark. It feels like this team needs inside players. They have none of that. Too much of a jump shooting team.

Pathetic.

I think the worst part of this game is that there's another game after it.

This guy had more heart than anyone I’ve seen since Pierce and KG. The way they unceremoniously traded him for that malcontent Kyrie was a dark day for this franchise.

Give me Isaiah and his defensive limitations over these soft guys here. I miss players that played with heart.

IT would be a better HC than Mazzula

I really don’t know why they extended Joe without seeing how he looked in the playoffs.

Smart players and well coached teams give the Celtics problems. Talent will get you far, but the intelligence of both the Heat and Warriors is why the Celtics and their collective low IQ struggle against them.

Feel like the honorable thing to do is concede game 4. Just a gentlemanly yeah, you got us. No point suiting up.

I would like to submit 'Business: Still Unfinished' as the PG thread title.

Tatum is in his prime.

Are we just advocating for Tatum and the Celtics to just languish as a 10th seed like Luka?

There has to be someone available with a brain that will fit better next to Rob and Tatum. Smart, Brown and Horford HAVE to go.

NAME NAMES

Do realize sometimes you can trade a talented player for someone with less talent who fits better and get much better results..

Off the top of my head remember how everyone complains about sabonus getting traded to sequimental and how he was a loser..

And then you see how much better Sacramento became compared to Indiana..

What was that draft thing again..

Boston has 4 players drafted in a lottery one with the 27th pick.... As starters....

I believe Miami has 17...30th pick and 3 undrafted players and they are crushing us..

And it's actually a few posters who believe it's the players not the coaching...

You literally cannot make this up....

Well it is philosophy just look at the celtics shot chart it is just a stat geek wet dream. While the Heats are a stats geek agita with everything between the paint and the 3 point line.
