When you let Mook score 5 pts in a playoff game in 2024, you've already lost. Come on Cs.

When is this team gonna learn to guard the three against a team that needs to hit threes to beat us?

Not even attempting to contest shots or get to wide open shooters. Ugh, this team really is just trying to sleepwalk to the Finals

JB's favorite hobby is to ball-watch or unnecessarily help from strong corners.

Being more talented is such a luxury bc they can basically get away with only playing hard for half the game and still win

Really worrisome that they've barely been tested and never really had to put the effort in first 10 games. Do they have another gear than what we've seen? Need full-48 effort for Finals if we make it there.

The Main weakness of this Celtics Team. = Complacency.
They don't have the Kill Instinct.

Time to put the Bench in, and let them be Hungry.

Holiday and White.

When do the All-Defensive Teams come out?

I'm dreaming of a White Holiday.

:lol: Nice one.

I knew there was something poetic in there.

Heh, I wish I'd have thought of it around Christmas.

Objectively speaking, this has got to go down as one of the most boring Playoff series in league history

Only positive about potentially facing Denver is at least they aren’t a huge three point shooting team. Every team lights us up from there :lol:

Come on Celts. This is inexcusable. The Knicks will make it tougher for the Nuggets in the finals than this lackadaisical effort the celtcs have been showing in the playoffs
