[PierceFan4ever]

Defense has been the problem all year. **** do something. Team has been lazy af. No sense of urgency in any of these games

[Shak_Celts]

WE NEED AN ENERGY GUY OFF THE BENCH!!! That and the defense is HORRIBLE, POOPY, TERRIBLE no good very bad day!! UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Is bad coaching gonna leave more titles on the table than it did in the 80s?

It's horrendous to watch this team play right now.

But when the playoffs arrive it will be Celtics in 5, right?

You’re pretty confident just because they won a title last year and think they can just turn it on and off. I just don’t see it right now with this team. Hopefully it changes.

[Larry_Russell]

Idc they lost at all.

Its painfully obvious when this team flips their switch NO ONE is in their class.

[Fierce1]

Sixers were really very happy because the Celtics have abused them for years.

Bad news for them is the playoffs is still 4 months away.

Sixers are garbage but the celtics put on another garbage performance. I been saying this team just doesn’t look like last year’s team. Not shooing it consistently well like last year. Very lazy , flat, uninspired etc.

If it bothers you so much then why watch them at all?

Yeah, this team doesn't look like last year's team because they have nothing to prove now.

Last season the pressure was mounting because the Jays have not won a championship and the clock was ticking.

If you're the opposite of an optimist then why are you expecting this current Celtics team to repeat when Bird and Pierce couldn't do it?

True.

It's just about wanting to do it.

[Fierce1]

5 losses in the December.

Worst December since 2021.

[Shak_Celts]

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, I'm still hungry and there are no leftovers. XMAS aint ish this year, but yall enjoy the rest of your day!!!


SUMMAMA B UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

They got their monkey off their back so they think they can just show up. Again right now at this moment tbis team is not a championship team period. Things can change down the road but might be one of those season where they go 57-25 around there. Last 11 games though have been horrific

Disagree on your 1980's statement.

The Celtics would have repeated as NBA Champions in 1982 if starting PG Nate Archibald did not dislocate his shoulder in the 2nd playoff game against Philadelphia. Allowed Lakers to hoist another trophy.

In 1983 Philadelphia was in a zone rarely seen, going 12-1 in the playoffs, while Milwaukee swept the Celtics.

In 1985 and 1987 Lakers beat Boston 4-2.

If Len Bias had lived, Celtics would have won in 1987 and 1988.

Dude i have no said they can’t repeat i have said they’re playing flat, uninspiring and not living up to expectations. Right now they don’t look like a championship team but things can change. The one thing i don’t like though is the defense is lacking and just the shooting in general is down. That fourth quarter was abysmal at home as well.

[epics2002]

Yea it doesn't work like that even Kobe/Shaq teams had good and great. Not bad and great like Celtics right now

Spoken like a true pessimist.

So what if they're not a championship team, in your opinion?

Majority of the fans watch because they love the game and the Celtics.

Some of us endured the 1990s, so win or lose it doesn't matter.

If the Celtics losing or playing bad makes you unhappy, my advise is you stop watching because all the negativity is not good for your health.

Maybe tune in when the Celtics are great again.

I can only go on what most historians agree on and that Casey Jones was a mid coach who was only here because it placated Bird.

[bfchs123]

Hauser a complete non factor again. If PP isn’t on we get basically nothing from the bench. Combine that with no KP or Jrue and it starts to look real skinny

[Bar Fight]

Didn't play defense again. But I mean, at least we didn't get injured.

...Oh wait

The 2000 Lakers won 67 games and the championship.

The next season they just had a 56-win season, but they still won a championship and ended up only losing one game in the playoffs and finals.

Lakers went from 67 wins in 2000 to 56 wins in 2001.

So a drop off 11 wins is still good?

[ThePigeon]

The one thing that I noticed is that JT was pissed at the end of the game
Finally, someone is pissed after a loss
He didn't high five the fans, just went to the locker room angry

We need more angry players. We need our pride back
Maybe we needed these two losses to shift the energy

[Lee Van Cleef]

Keep your expectations low this year, you’ll be disappointed less. Something is missing this year, probably that hunger for the title.

Sixers won the game, but Embiid was limping near the end of the 4th qtr.

If Embiid is not healthy 4 months from now then you'll realize that health is more important than a regular season game.
