I can't stand the ISO crap anymore.
Why do they do it?
It doesn't work in today's NBA.
Because our coach massively sucks.
Yeah Quinn Snyder was running amazing sets for those Murray buckets. Tatum was getting strapped by Bogs and a geriatric Wes Matthews. Nothing we can do to fix that

So...when does all this clutch practice end up making perfect?

You’re really showing your lack of basketball knowledge over these last 2 games.

Why would there be adjustment on Murray he was awful. If our best player took 44 shots to score 44 points every game, our record would be just as bad as the Hawks'.

Now I WANT this Team in the 1st Round.
We gotta beat them 4-0.

Re: Celts Are Never Allowed To Go To Atlanta Again! Loss vs ATL 3/28
I do not like the Celtic ISO offense. I wish the ball was whipped around with 5 guys touching it on every possession, with MOVEMENT.
If you replaced Porzingis with a great pick setter (Dave Cowens is the best the Celtics ever had), they'd win 70 + games easily. Plus, you'd hopefully be adding someone who is a great REBOUNDER and willing to take charges and blitz screens.
I don't advocate Tatum or Brown being the pick setter, but the lack of a great pick setter really kills the offensive possibilities. But the best alternative of whipping the ball around and MOVEMENT aren't practiced. So, you get STAGNATION. Joe, you suck ...
Wouldn't have mattered if the refs gave the Celtics the Free Throws they deserved.
An alternative view:
Pts + Rebounds + (0.5 x Assists) + Steals + (0.5 x Blocks) - Missed Field Goals - (0.5 x Missed Free Throws) - Turnovers - (0.5 x Fouls)
+29.5 Jayson Tatum 45 minutes
+26 Derrick White 41 minutes
+17.5 Jrue Holiday 37 minutes
+13.5 Kristaps Porzingis 41 minutes 2 sub-standard games in a row Against Atlanta ... ???
+11.5 Jaylen Brown 39 minutes Not a Max Player Performance ????
+8 Luke Kornet 13 minutes
+8 Sam Hauser 23 minutes
+3.5 Payton Pritchard 19 minutes Bad Game
+2.5 Xavier Tillman 9 minutes
Team Total = 120

Cue the overreactions x2
Just thought I’d let everyone know that in the Nuggets final 17 games last season they went 1-6 in 2 stretches & were 7-10 over that span.
This team lost because they’re playing lazy basketball. Not saying it’s acceptable but you can understand why when they have the #1 seed locked up with less than 10 games to go.

Next time we play the Hawks we win by 1. The game after that we win by 30. It's incremental.

You know it's bad when even DWhite can't save these clowns with a swish from out of bounds with .1 left

Quoted for truth. If this team gets bullied, they tuck their tail between their legs and whimper away.

Re: Celts Are Never Allowed To Go To Atlanta Again! Loss vs ATL 3/28
Soft a$$ group could have used some Mahcussss Smahhht effort tonight! This group lacks an enforcer and when teams get physical with us we cave…….Mazullas absolutely useless on the sidelines, especially with plays out of timeouts?! Doc Rivers is a great example of how a coach should be running plays out of timeouts to try and win games?! Bring something to the table and I don’t want to see anymore JT interviews saying he’s one of the best players in the NBA. Talk is cheap man time to prove it! Lights get bright and C’s get nervous?! Obviously just a regular season game, but it felt different tonight. Hawks took it to us and Murray punked the C’s tonight.

Re: Celts Are Never Allowed To Go To Atlanta Again! Loss vs ATL 3/28
To be completely honest, I expected a 40-point win. I can understand they got bored the last game, but can't understand what happened tonight. If the loss on Monday wasn't a wake-up call, then what is?
