Honestly confused how Joe saw the first 2 quarters and decided not to try Springer, Queta, Walsh, etc. Going deep into the bench paid off last night, and at least those guys won't be completely burnt out and complacent. What's to lose? The starters aren't doing any better.

I’m really surprised by what’s going on with Derrick white. He was a legit all star level player, probably the best role player you could ask for now he looks like a guy that can’t play on either end of the court. Same with holiday.

Jaylen brown needs to stop treating himself like the #1 option, lately when he’s taken more than 15 shots the Celtics have always lost. Tatum role has reduced a lot lately and the team struggles when he’s not having a high usage game. There’s no reason he shouldn’t be leading the team by far in usage and shot attempts unless someone is cooking.

We all do.

Also miss IT. Flawed player for sure but I certainly never questioned his effort (unlike this entire core...).

Kornet-Horford didn’t work in the1st half so Joe keeps using it whole game. Annoying

I am so fed up with this team
Stupid, lethargic, dumb stubborn coach

This team sucks man. I’m over it.

I don’t mind losing but this team actively hates the fans by showing up with these pathetic efforts.

Joe just sticking with Kornett and Horford lol.

Bill Lumbergh · Post #172 » by **Bill Lumbergh** » Fri Jan 24, 2025 5:02 am

Embarrassing effort. No ball movement, a ton of iso, no D. And Joe won't even consider putting in guys who might bring some energy and effort .

I hope we keep Jaylen Brown forever and give him the maximum amount of money allowed by the CBA until the end of time

I'm shutting this **** the **** off, what the ****.

Slow Joe is so damned rigid with his rotations.

Jakeopp · Post #176 » by **Jakeopp** » Fri Jan 24, 2025 5:05 am

Reggie Miller sure talks a lot for guy who never won anything of significance

I realize the Celtics played a lot of games in few days but you can't deny there is a coaching issue in games like these too.

I need some Questions for the Post Game Thread?

ThePigeon · Post #179 » by **ThePigeon** » Fri Jan 24, 2025 5:06 am

AOS

These are no true Celtics. I don't care that they are the Champs.No Celtics team should look like this against LAL
OTOH, our worst loss last year was at home against the G-League LAL, so maybe it is telling of things to come

Stop trying to make Jaylen Brown and playmaker it’s not his game and we end up with poor quality possessions
