Any chance we can finally cut down on the 3s next year. Sick of the analytical bull pervading sports.

Didn’t deserve to win.

That sucked, but not super shocking. Cs gave it all in game 5 and the Knicks responded in kind. See ya all in the trade and draft threads, lol.

Tough to fire a guy after a title and a 61-win season.

I am with you. Not that I don’t think Joe can coach, but the style of play and the offense is ridiculous

I wish you all well.

Here’s hoping we can at least have an enjoyable season next season.

Not that this team couldn’t get it done when healthy but we just won’t see them in that state again due to the CBA and Tatum’s Achilles.

Sucks major balls to build such a stacked team with great drafting and trading and essentially only see them healthy for five minutes in 2024 and then to be punished for it by this stupid CBA.

I will forever be grateful for the 2024 title. That was one of my favourite ever sports memories.

Also. Wyc was on the damn can committee. What rhe hell kind of deal did they sign?

I am almost to the point where I tell Chisholm F your money. Pay up.

Posted this in the wrong thread.

Completely unacceptable to lose games 1 and 2 at home and losing 2 20 point leads. This alone should get Joe fired.

No it's not. Bucks, Toronto, Lakers and Denver have all already done it.

He's the reason they don't have 3. Not the reason they have 1.

I honestly wish our owners would but from the sounds of it, it won’t happen.

I’m not sure any of the NBA owners and players have properly fathomed what they’ve signed up for. They got far too carried away worrying about another Golden State that they’re going to kill off well drafting teams hanging around for years. OKC will be a victim.

It’s hard not see us taking a backward step for a few seasons because Tatum will be out and we won’t have the same level of talent anymore.

Why even travel to NY if they weren't going to give it their all? What happened here? I knew things weren't going to go well on the opening miss by Holiday.

Celtics played off emotion and their role players shot better at home.

I’m hardly shocked at all that they got blown out in this one.

I think even with Tatum tonight they would have had their work cut out against a fired up NY team at home looking to make the ECF for the first time since 1999.

People are severely underrating the loss of Tatum. Both in terms of the hit to the teams mental state and the obvious loss of his scoring.

This. His plus/minus is off the charts.

Would have been cool to force a game 7 but then what? We had no business proceeding further in the playoffs.

It's okay, we're going to be okay. On to the off season thread.

Long live Brad Stevens.

Hell yeah it'll be enjoyable. It'll just be a different sort of enjoyable.

We'll get to be dogs again, might be time to try to finagle something to get Marcus back now that we won't be expected to win anything.

It was obvious from the first minute the Knicks were not taken by surprise like they were last game.

Kornet made a number of catches in the key he finished easily last game. This game they were ready and he looked lost.

No matter who is on the team next season, we’ll make the playoffs. No way they tank.

Exactly I rather have a down year. Maybe we get lucky in the lottery and trade the pick for a proven player. I don’t think tatum is even going to be back next year. Maybe in the end.

This team is gonna be without 3 of the following Tatum, holiday, kp, Hauser and Horford next year.

Combine that with Joe coaching abilities and you're looking at a 45 win team at best.

Probably closer to 38.

People don't understand just how badly it's gonna be here next year. Too good to thank. Too bad to be serious. The worst place to be.

How does one have a down year in the East without going scorched earth?

The East is terrible.

Pacers, Knicks and Cavs and outside of that it’s a steaming pile of ****.
