REALLY?? Yep, We Lost To Philly! Loss vs PHI 5/1 (PHI leads 1-0)

Al Horford has been a **** dud these playoffs STOP PLAYING HIM when he’s washed af

Yeah Horford is washed. He was great last year but he’s **** cooked.

Robert Williams needs to play more, wtf is this him playing limited minutes??? He was playing good too when he was out there.

We have one of the worst coaches in the league. Smart is a turnover machine, Tatum shrinks in the clutch when it’s tight, brown is another turnover machine, Brogdon pisses his shorts when he’s open late, Horford is a corpse.

This team isn’t winning a championship. They would get destroyed against the warriors, lakers, or nuggets.

You can’t trust this core late in games on both ends.

Rob doesn’t fit Mazulla’s worped idea of a title team. Chuck heaps of threes, be pathetically soft defensively because analytics say so!

Just flat out garbage coaching.

That but also there can't be any Celtic fan who has watched all these 7 playoff games, that can tell me Rob is healthy. Dude can't jump or move laterally on defense. He has become the layup king. This is the same guy who's head was at rim level prior to the last few months. Now he is more like Blake.

Yall have been spoiled having Tatum! Yall take greatness for granted!! It's going to be a miserable forum if he chooses to leave! He wasn't the problem, not even close!! Of all the people yall got to, yall really fixed your fingers to talk about tatum?? There were 3 guys who were very bad well before we get to any jay. then before tatum I'd go with jb turnovers and lacking aggression. when you go low, tatum goes ham, so thank all of you kindly!!!

His looking for fouls and not getting back on defense did hurt a little. I get what you're saying though.

I'm not saying he was perfect but read the room, you'd think he was bad. neither jay was bad actually.

there are many other things to point to well before getting to Tatum and a lot of people were ready to pounce! That's wild!

No kidding

And the coaching staff or players had no answers.

You have to coach really bad to get outcoached by Doc Rivers.

Shooting 58% and losing is a disaster. At some point they have to start playing defense. Tonight they should’ve won by 20+ and they lost bc they didn’t play defense for like 90% of the game

[robbie84]

horrid recipe of Philly catching fire and us not pressuring defensively for a full game.
Melton hits 5 of 6 threes lol. Who the hell is Melton?

we have to win 4 of the next 6 games- which we should easily do regardless of whether or not Embid plays.
We actually played pretty well for most of the game, Philly, like ATL in their wins, were on FIRE.
We dominated them in the paint, they just shot really well from mid/long range.

Lots and lots of Brown is gone talk on social media. Brown had just 10 shots (and was 8/10) to Tatum's 25 shots.

And his 4 turnovers. Smart had 6 and costly ones. This has to be on the coach to run plays for Brown. He was 8 -10, 3 -4 from 3 and perfect at the line. This should have definitely been a JB bring us home game but it wasn't.

It was negated by the meltdown but the plays he made down the stretch is exactly why smart stays out there in crunch time

[playa-hater]

I'm waiting for that 1 fan who can somehow find some analytics to prove that drop coverage is a good defense..

All I see on the videos over and over again are players getting great looks/shots off the pick and roll with Drop coverage..

The only thing I can think of is when our defense plays drop coverage is we keep the other team off the foul line..

I've posted his crunch time net rating before. It's not good and far below either White or Brogdon.

Leaving out he had 39 on 25 tho! What are ya'll reaally trying to say? I'm not buying it.

Yep. Rob is definitely not the same. I have noticed that. He's not contesting a lot of shots that he would normally contest. Time to pull the plug on this guy.

[aim2please]

Philly is starting 2 bad defenders in Harden and Maxey. They are also starting Tucker, who is a zero on offense. Celtics have 8 players that are considered two-way players.

You know how bad your game plan and/or execution of it has to be to lose when you can exploit 3 of their 5 starters and they have no one to ignore on O and hunt on D.

Worse in all of this is that Lakers are gonna win a tittle even though they're a mediocre team.

Jaylen was really struggling to get open, and had trouble with the 4 turnovers. He was really good at hitting shots, but not so much at creating them.

Didn’t care then don’t care now…time and time again throughout the years he’s made timely plays and it covers multiple coaching regimes.

Big white fan but tonight’s also not the night to make the case for him in clutch time

[bigfoot_cryptozoology]

Gordon Lightfoot took one look at this game and keeled right over...

[lon3lytoaster]

Mazzulla’s post game is the epitome of cluelessness. No mention of the defense or coverage or any of that. Just that he needs to “be better” and get them into their spacing faster.

I can’t believe this is what we’re stuck with.
