I remember when this team got the age excuse for coming up short in the playoffs. Now what?

Yep, true. I didn't think Brogdon was going to be a positive in this game going in and once Tatum rolled the ankle, knew this was going to be rough.

So who's fault is that? You're saying Brad threw a title in the trash by hiring his personal bud?

I think Brad overrated regular season results with Joe. His lack of experience was obvious early in this series. He got better later but it was too much to overcome.

I think Joe has coached better than Brad did in 2020. Everything Joe has done wrong is something Brad did wrong. Joe (has hopefully) lost the team's respect for the same reasons Brad lost the team's respect.

I think Brad saw himself in Joe and was either blind to his faults, or anxious to feel vindicated after Ime accomplished more in six months than Brad had in seven years.

Idk what you're talking about, but Brad did more with 1/10th of the talent on his versions of the Celtics in multiple years than Joe did in his rookie year as a coach of the Celtics.

That's why the entire NBA viewed him as one of the best coaches in the entire league, specifically due to how he overachieved with such limited talent and how he developed players on his roster.

Tatum at his worst would be shooting a lot more and being more aggressive. Cmon now..

Yep, this is not on JT, he has been on one leg and still providing more than JB and Smart have.

Dude had some pretty pathetic performances in the 1st 3 games. We didn’t lose the series today IMO. They just have a lot of bad habits and they all came out to play tonight.

For us, "unfinished business" is really just "business as usual." :nonono:

Who cares if he was injured this game. Allowing your team to lose the first 3 games????? Is not what a REAL superstar does. That’s why you never want to extend any series. Injuries can happen. This team has no killer instinct! Tatum and brown has no killer instinct! Tatum needs to be a number 2!

Yep. Should not have been here in the first place

Yup sad actually. This team was a roller coaster all season. Hard team to root for given their talent

I never want to hear anyone on this board say the Heat don't own the Celtics again. They absolutely own them. Last year was a fluke.

I would prefer not to have him back. The roster needs a more experienced guy.

Roster also needs a shakeup

I would move Smart and add some depth so Al can play 15 to 20 a night. Bring in a real coach.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Yah, Tatum's ankle had nothing to do with everyone else going 8/38 from deep. Joe's chuck 'em and die trying mentality.

1 ship in the last 36 years now. Man this franchise has been down in the pits.

JB was horrible but it was 3 point shooting that cost them the game.

No no no! We lack heart and guts. Need to find players that have some. And Brown needs to go.

He was trash in the 2nd half game 6. Like totally went ghost. White's heroics erased that from memory lol
