I don’t know if it’s the wrist or the offense and how it’s set up as a whole but Tatum needs to get some help. And I don’t mean roster moves.

[Memokerobi]

Crowd deserves as much slander if we lose this game

[NYCelticsfan136]

Losers no heart. They better have a great second QB.

[chrisab123]

Jesus christ. This team is crumbling under the pressure. Mazzula sucks

Yeah right mazzula doesn’t have a basketball in hand or plays defense. This core is known for this.

Yeah...not like this. Not against Philly anyway. This is different

[Mr_Mojo_Risin]

....and sadly that right there is why you worry about JB getting it late unless he's already on the move and finishing it. His handles and decision making for rush defense often don't hold up.

[ThePigeon]

Coach is clueless right now
Defense and offense against the zone

Imagine we had a sniper on the bench to play against the zone..that would help. Oh wait we do and hes buried because Joe sucks.

Imagine JT playing on the free throw line against the zone
And yeah - a sniper (more than 1) on the bench

If Joe loses this series I hope he gets fired
I can't stand his coaching right now. Zero adjustments and dumb, passionless play

[The_Ghost_of_JB]

I know it's only the first but I have absolutely seen enough to know this team just doesn't have the killer mentality that is needed

[Shak_Celts]

rob just standing and doing nothing 8ft inside. GET UP!!!!! what are we even doing anymore?? who is he dropping for?? embiids big behind is setting screens rob's down there chilling!

[Marvel]

Tatum still extremely weak

He flails and flops at the slightest contact which throws him off trying to finish.
I see Jimmy and he's the total opposite. Finishes through contact, doesn't flail around. Alpha to beta.

[PierceFan4ever]

If Jayson Tatum played like a star this would be a tie game at best but when he’s looking charming soft and a brick machine it’s hard to win when your best player does this. Embiid is showing up. Harden is. Brown is. Where tf are you

Nothing to cheer for with the way this team has played so far.

[RB34]

How are they not up for this game? I miss Brad.

[Bird84]

Maybe losing this series is what the team needs. Let it be a wakeup call to them, both the players and organization. Maybe find a real coach for next year?

All that's going to do is teach them more of what they already know. How to lose when it really matters.

Lose this and Jaylen probably bails and you might as well rebuild the whole thing.

[Fencer reregistered]

wth is rob doing?

He fought for that one basket.

But he gets few lobs now, perhaps because nobody's sure he'll be able to go up for them.

Nah, they supposed to learn their lesson from last years’s run.

[pac213up]

Joe deserves some blame but at the end of the day your best player has to show up.

[Ben-N1ce]

Team barely won with defense all year and look ordinary when the offense isn't cooking. This was always the red flag.

[Celts17Pride]

Well at least Mazzulla played JT & JB the whole quarter. Looks like 48 minutes a piece for those two

[chrisab123]

I would rather have any Celtics coach (not interm) from the last 30 years other than ML coaching this team.
