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

[GoCeltics123]

Team just doesn't have it

[Green89]

Tatum was complete garbage in the 4th.

[Setshot33]

The Celtics supposed "super star" was yet again a no show down the stretch.

Find a sucker out there and get future picks now,cause Tatum ain't it.

[Memokerobi]

This squad is good enough to win a championship but its not good enough to win a championship despite its HC. Cannot understate how big of a disadvantage having Mazzulla vs the other HCs in the playoffs is

WIthout Embiid this game should not have been close. Yikes. That Tyrese Maxey steal with around 28 seconds to go was a killer.
16 Celtic TO's Against 6 Phili TO's. But 10 Celtic Fouls Against 20 Phili Fouls sort of evens out, though the 1rst 4 Fouls of each quarter are non-shooting unless in the act of shooting. Sloppy ball control at the end killed the Celtics. And no one could hit a shot unless they were at the charity stripe.

An alternative perspective:

Pts. + Rebounds + (0.5 x Assists) + Steals + (0.5 x Blocks) - Missed FGs - (0.5 x Missed Free Throws) - Turnovers - (0.5 x Fouls)

+40.5 Jayson Tatum (44 minutes) DON'T ANYONE DARE SAY A NEGATIVE WORD ABOUT TATUM. Jayson Tatum is NOT the Reason THEY LOST.

+25.5 Jaylen Brown (42 minutes) Brown's play was so outstanding his 4 TO's get a pass

+16 Malcolm Brogdan (34 minutes)
+14 Al Horford (30 minutes)
+12.5 Rob Williams III (20 minutes)

+9 Marcus Smart (35 minutes) 6 Turnovers killed the Celtics. Phili as a Team made 6 TOs
+1.5 Derrick White (27 minutes)
0 Grant Williams (4 minutes)
-0.5 Sam Hauser (5 minutes)

Team Total = 118.5

Why did Jaylen play scared? Took like 2 shots after the 1st quarter. Didn't attack, super passive. In that awful sequence ending with Brogdon's pass to Maxey, Jaylen had an open shot and passed it up.

[pac213up]

The players are gonna have to do it themselves if they want to win a title. Our coach is our Achilles heal.

They can't. The 2 best players disappeared in the 4th.

Lost us the chip last year and the same **** happening again with worse defense. They just don’t execute in clutch time. This series is over

[sprash9802]

IF this team gets in the conference Finals, Miami beats them in 5 tops... a bunch of mental midgets, from the ass clown of a coach to their soft superstar

[Celts17Pride]

This is not a serious Celtics team. I’m going to get bashed for this but so be it. This team doesn’t defend anymore, they don’t take care of business, no killer instinct and still turn the ball over late in the game.

Just not a serious contender.

Celtics played drop coverage all the way to Harden scoring 45 points. No adjustments.

Looking forward to the Celtics players saying they have learned their lesson.

[makubesu]

That Brogdon turnover really encapsulate it right? They don’t know who is supposed to have the ball. Meanwhile Harden got the go ahead shot with a simple screen. It’s always going to be a little bit harder with this team

[aim2please]

Only thing that can save C's is Embiid coming back.

[cl2117]

Marcus and Joe were the biggest problems.

Marcus had as many turnovers as the Sixers entire team and wasn't the defensive anchor he is supposed to be.

Joe couldn't figure out how to get these guys to get a stop to save his life (Ime would have).

Horford should have been swapped for Grant and Rob should have played more.

Derrick was awful.

Just true ass of shame performance. This team is asking to be embarrassed. So many gifts from the basketball gods and too incompetent to take advantage.

[WeLikeOurGuys]

We’ve had a pretty large sample size of this team constantly blowing late game leads, and this is just who they are.

[BleedGreen1989]

Jesus, the Joe hate.

Players need to play better.

[ballup]

Was really banking on that Harden is a playoff choker narrative.

Def Con whatever is the highest at this point

[carnageta]

As a Heat fan, Jaylen Brown having only 10 FGA in the entire game is absolutely CRIMINAL. LMAO

[PierceFan4ever]

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.

And I fully acknowledge Brogdon imploded down the stretch, but he was just trying to emulate Smart.
