Can't will sucks never play him again.
Our coach is showing rookie mistakes and absolutely getting out classed by Eric.
Tatum and Smart with some ridiculous 4th quarter mistakes.
We had both games last 5 minutes they forgot we have Tatum, brown? last night 2:44 mark smart just gives the ball away crucial mistake was up 2 points. Meanwhile timelord comes in at 2 minute mark.
We don't deserve the 18 if you can't close out games.
Next year we need to get big man depth trade can't will, pp, kornet, muscala and 35 for one!
We keep Gallo for next year we have legit 8 add a defensive big as 9. Then we can call ourselves deep.
Next year baby let's go! Also go get a championship caliber coach. A few have been fired. This year we beat ourselves and mis managed trade deadline and got out coached. And forgot how to clutch.

Just win the next 2 so we can lose game 5 at home and have them exactly where we want them

Series is ova? Lmao win game 3 and it’s on! How about you show some pride and Ba!!$. First to four amigo! Buckle up

Im not playing in the games. If you want to bet on these chumps winning 4 out of 5 go ahead. I don’t see it. Players have to man up, fans have to be smart about how realistic it is that they will.

Yeah, that's not true. Fans only have to cheer for the team or not cheer for them, the rest of the bs we all partake in is extracurricular. I choose to to cheer for them and be optimistic, it doesn't make me any more or less right about what will happen than all our pessimists, none of what we say means f*ck all. It just makes me feel like less whiny, and it costs me nothing.

Down 0-2? Sometimes things just got to go hard.

Believing that they will win the series is just setting yourself up for major disappointment. I don’t like disappointment, so I’ll cheer them on, I’ll have my Celtics jersey on hoping for a miracle but I’ll know in my heart it’s very unlikely that they win it. I just want to make them sweat a little.

Honestly, if we win this series it's probably gonna go exactly like this.

Spo is a fricken genius. He is embarrassing the league with his master display of how to dismantle these teams with 'superstars'. It's literally a clinic what he's doing. Best coach in the league and i hope they win it all. How he's using his undrafted players is ridiculous another clinic in "setting up your players for success" in playing to their strengths.

Rewatching the game 2 and Joe is so bad LMAO. The amount of poor coaching to brilliant coaching adjustments from Spo is like Magnus Carlsen versus a rock. That's how bad Joe is he is in way over his head here and you love to see it.

Oh, you're new here I see.

I'm one of the more optimistic posters here, which angers people here for some reason lol.

So I was joking. I was moreso talking about the doom and gloom posters who have given up on the team.

Btw, welcome to the forum. And cool username - love Pete Rock and CL Smooth. TROY is a freakin amazing song. And they have other good ones too, of course.

I'm one of the (if not the) most optimistic poster here, which causes lots of folks to hate me for some reason, lol.

So I was joking. I was moreso talking about the doom and gloom posters who have given up on the team (90% of the folks here).

I was joking too. It went over your head. I read the posts it seems there’s nothing that can get you to be down on this team

Yep, i dont get why they went away from smart completely

I like tatum having the ball alot of times

But not 90% of the time

Horford and JB with breakout games. Combining for 10 threes, 44 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists with staunch defense. Cos if not now, when? Both have performed well below their norm.
