So it's not a troll if the poster blames Joe for every Celtic loss?

Just because our post count is not the same, that doesn't mean I'm a troll.

I just have some extra time and I want to talk about the Celtics.


17k post in 4 years is absolutely a troll.

No one is more responsible for how the Celtics play than the coach.

You don't go into 2 months lulls with this much talent and it's not the coaches fault.

We're missing shots at the basket. Al missed a shot at the rim. So did KP.

The offensive philosophy is spacing the floor. Moving the ball, getting good shots and attacking mismatches. It's worked well..we've been one of the top offenses in NBA history under Mazzulla and won the 2024 title.


Am talking about all the 3pt chucking to be specific. Am not a believer. Sorry. Spacing the floor is the right idea, but they have to have a backup plan when they shoot this horribly.

Funny how the offense looks so much better when they looked to attack the hoop and suddenly the threes fall down. This team never learns to stop cheating the game by playing lazy ass basketball chucking threes to start the game. You only give the opponent confidence when they’re up double digits early and then you find yourself in a fight.

Defense still the main issue but they’ve been at least somewhat better as of late compared to what’s going on with the offense.

Over under the Celtics taken 15 threes in the final 9 minutes?

**** Joe. He's ruining this team.

No disagreement on that.

My thing with Joe is I hope they don’t burn out when it counts. He knows them best, the staff knows them best and they know themselves best. The regular season means nothing when you’re gonna win 50 games with your eyes closed.

No team can beat this team in a 7 game series. The back to back documentary is gonna be great in 2036 :D

It's just about seeing the big picture.

I think some of the Celtic fans are just not seeing what Joe and the Celtics are seeing.

The Cs are clearly playing the long game.

JT might not sit out the rest of the game so he might play 44 minutes tonight after nearly playing 40 minutes against the pelicans. These are awful teams the Celtics are in a big fight against and a lot has to do with the start of games
