Because when he takes one, he does **** ALL with it..dude is quite possibly THE WORST ato coach the game has ever seen.

Ride his dick all you **** want, this team has now coughed up a SECOND championship because of this **** fraud. Getting swept to this trash ass team will be embarrassing asf. If the owners are trying to save money I hope they start by axing this **** useless clown.



Maybe so but how do you score 6 points the rest of the way with an 84-68 lead at the 8:40 mark? That’s ridiculous!!!! There was a stretch where this team went 0-7. My goodness that’s awful!!!! I don’t wanna hear about fatigue. The Knicks played heavy minutes as well.

It succeeded at getting him out of the game.

Knicks were +19 in the 22 minutes he played, he attempted 1 free throw.

Not sure why it took so long to apply the strategy.

Without Robinson, Knicks are soft in the interior.


It also wasted two fouls so when Jrue fouled Brunson at the end of the game, it would have been a first in the last two minutes, and had them side out. Instead, they were in the bonus and he put us away with two free throws. Awful coaching there, Washburn is right to question it.

Because they have bad **** habits and the moron on the sidelines let’s their **** slide and makes no impact on the game. Dude gets paid to WATCH. He’s a **** joke.

The Celtics shot poor % from 3 all year..i think everybody except Pritchard and White were below last years numbers. It was obvious they would go cold in the playoffs and with a broken JB to save their **** by getting to the paint, they would be cooked. Mazzula has absolutely nothing.

But once again Jayson Tatum curls up like a little bitch. It’s happened too many times now…if he doesn’t set fire to the Garden the next two games, I’m done with the guy

The sad part is it’s one thing if the Knicks were playing lights out . You would say kudos to them . But it’s not that way. The Knicks are just hanging around and the Celtics meltdown in the end. If they get swept by this knicks team it would be just another horrible playoffs performance by this group.

I don’t remember but i thought that was going to be shooting anyway, am I mistaken?

I don't think JT's style of play will be the same if the coach is not Joe.

He’s 27.

With his lack of speed and explosion compared to some other wings his inability to get good shots will probably only get worse as he ages.

We’re not talking about a LeBron level bball iq and athlete who gets to 30 and unlocks this pick apart the defence with ease offence.

Tatum should be peaking now.

He is what he is essentially. A great all around guy who struggles at times badly with scoring and it gets really ugly particularly in clutch playoff moments.

That's why I said "not a finished product".

JT tried to transform from being a silky smooth KD type player to a now more physical and bigger player.

So JT will have to play more inside the paint when he gets older.

Right now he's trying to be a young Lebron.
But like what you said, maybe there's a lack of speed and explosion.

Give it time because this is not the Jayson Tatum will see in the near future.

I think that's possible because if the Cs exit in this 2nd round, it will be a much easier decision for the owners to break up the team.

JB, Jrue, and KP will all go.

The Cs will build around Tatum, White, and maybe Giannis, if Brad can pull it off.

I don’t care about 3-4 years time.

This is as talented as we’ll ever get under Tatum.

If he wants to play so awful and throw away a title then that’s **** infuriating.

Did Joe choke or the players, just as they have always done except for last season?

I’d love for us to run more cuts, etc. obviously not happening. It’s odd the team missed so many 3s again especially the open ones.
That last play was a travesty.
Good assessment:

Can you imagine how bad it's gonna get when we have to shed some of these players and we still have Joe out here coaching these guys up?

I thought Brown was okay, the problem is Tatum was so bad that he essentially needed to have a huge game which I don’t think he has in him with his knee.

Reality is this teams success hinges on Tatum.

He can’t be shooting at 29% in a series. That’s just absurdly bad.


How many turnovers did brown have.

A Game 3 win and suddenly it will be a different vibe.

JB has a bad knee
Al can't play big minutes on short rest at his age
Jrue is coming off a hamstring injury
Kristaps has been greatly diminished by a mystery illness
Hauser has a sprained ankle
The depth frontcourt players we had last yr (Brissett, Tillman) are not available anymore

it looks like we don't have enough

I'm not gonna pile on JT and JB, who've been great Celtics, because they had two bad games
But this is a severely depleted team, and the coach isn't going to use Queta or Scheierman. And that's it, we don't have the horses

The stat guys are not here to provide us with the numbers, but I'm pretty sure the Cs have a horrible win-loss record when they shoot 30% or less from 3pt land.

Yeah I just checked the stats and realised he had 7 turnovers.

To be honest the third and fourth quarters are blurs to me.

I remember multiple sloppy ass turnovers. Now that I think about it he was involved in several of them.

Also can’t believe he finished 8/23 after his start.
