He's not 100 that's for sure. He won't be till they do something about it in the off season

By far the worst performance I’ve seen from the Celtics in the playoffs. It was embarrassing to watch Al, Smart play today. This is the finalssssss now is not the time to play your worst which they did along with almost everyone else

Embarrassed by splitting on the road in the finals? Nah. They’ve responded EVERY SINGLE TIME this post season so I’ll hold off my embarrassment for a bit thank you. Warriors took this one and were the better team tonight. Take care of the ball and take care of business in Boston.

It happens, just bad timing lol.

This means nothing.

The warriors kicked the Cs around and smacked them in the balls.

If we don’t get out shiet together we lose in 5

Horford and smart went from heroes to zeroes in this game 2.

Call players out all you want, based on reality. Softness wasn’t the problem. Poor discipline, bad communication, and trying to do too much was the problem.

The soft thing is lazy as hell, and obviously isn’t the case.

Nah. You're 6'8 going against 6'5. The only thing stopping you from going to the hoop is your willingness.

Same with Horford at 6'10 5 ft from the hoop. McHale would've eat all day. Horford shriveled up.

I mean if we ignore defensive schemes, sure. But let’s not pretend it’s as simple as putting your head down and going to the rim. And you know that, I’m sure lol.

I may disagree with you, but at least you post this stuff on your main account, unlike the large numbers of posters hiding on their burners to be negative. That is what is actually soft.

34 points in quarters 2 and 3 was the killer.

An underrated move by the Celtics to lose badly and rest the starters in the 4th. Now they will have fresh legs for games 3 and 4 at home.

Need to win at home to protects home court. C's in 6....

Nothing softer than having to use a burner.

Why do you assume it's a burner? Is that a default canned answer when you hate what someone is posting or do you know something?

I’m an IP reading psychic.

Some use VPN’s, but pretty easy to dig around that.

I expect us to get **** together and respond big in game 3.

Rest means nothing because there are 3 days in between games.

Warriors have the consistent offense. We have a bunch of chuckers and turnover machines.

Just calling it as I see it.

If you want to win a championship, you have to be tough! That means taking contact and finishing.

Right now,career wise, Tatum does not seem like he wants to take any contact. He complains everytime he drives!

And IMO, Horford has no post game...and that sucks in a 6'10 guy when he has smaller players on his back.

MaxwellSmart · Post #1777 » by **MaxwellSmart** » Mon Jun 6, 2022 2:45 am

Now the National Media can relax and blow the Warriors for a couple of days....Refs made sure the W's stuck around in the first half...I swear Marcus Smart bet on this game.

kivancb · Post #1778 » by **kivancb** » Mon Jun 6, 2022 2:46 am

A positive note: We would not have been allowed to win this game, even if we had played our best. That was on full display by the refs in the first quarter. The good side is that we did not tire ourselves too much. Gotta take this L and move on. Gotta protect the homecourt - That's what matters the most.

When you go into the 3rd knowing GS is historically a really dominant 3rd quarter team, that beat the crap out of us already once, and you let them beat you like that again, soft is absolutely the correct word. Soft switches, soft paint touches by Horford going against Curry or GP a few times, soft fouls, soft close outs.. Effort was piss poor. That's not to say the team is soft, but the performance was.

Curious to see how they respond. We really need to be better on Curry though. 70% of his shots have no resistance. Just absurd.
