Post-Game Notes: BOS 113, MIA 125 (2-4)

[The Corey's]

Who cares? 20 teams in the NBA have been rebuilding for 20 years, haven't sniffed a finals and dream of being where we are . Just because Miami did better doesn't mean everybody will.

OKC drafted 3 MVP caliber players and a beast of a defensive C.. They did everything right and got nothing for it. Why you acting like this **** is easy?

Given your game day thread post I'd say you care very much.

Celtics have not fielded a legitimate contender since 2010.

Rebuild isn't over. If it is then it's failed miserably. 2018 was the only year they had championship aspirations and it turned out they were falsely inflated by a surprising 2017 run.

This isn't hard. The celtics aren't cutting it and changes are absolutely necessary.

Idc about what Miami did. Miami will always have a faster rebuild by being a first class free agent destination. It doesn't matter how good Bam or Herro got, that team goes NOWHERE fast without Butler deciding to go there and joining a team that didn't even make the playoffs last year. We don't have that type of luxury. We get level B free agents when we make the ECF, not finish 10th in the East.

Honestly i have no more energy for you. Fire Ainge and hire Charlottes GM.. That might make you happy.

You have 3 straight replies that demonstrate you have absolutely not one idea wtf you're talking about.

And all 3 of them have had some sort of f u tone toward me.

Be gone.

Winning a title in the bubble was always going to have an asterisk next to it kind of like mark McGuire and Barry Bonds hitting all those homers while taking PEDs. BUT this was still a huge opportunity wasted. We beat the Heat and an NBA title was certainly within reach. Whether we would have beaten the Lakers or not is anybody’s guess but we would have had a shot.And chances to win an NBA title are few and far between. So no matter all of the niceties and “ we overachieved” platitudes this was still bitter. There’s not guarantee we get this close anytime soon. Brooklyn will be better as will the rest of the east. Meanwhile we have limited options given our salary situation. No question Danny has to get busy but I wonder how much he will actually be able to accomplish. One thing’s for sure and that is we don’t need 3 more rookies especially since we have a bunch of them already who did little to nothing to help us. I have to believe Danny is shipping off Carsten Edward’s and others for whatever he can get. Bye bye Semij Vincent and others.

But back to losing this series. I felt the same after game 6 that I felt last year against Milwaukee. For whatever reason we couldn’t sustain anything and just like last year we kept chucking 3’s. I remember Kyrie taking bad shot after bad shot and Brad just let him do it. Granted, when Brad looked down his bench this year who was he going to go to? There wasn’t one shooter on our bench outside of Hayward and he sucked. But I’m not giving Brad a pass. This is two years in a row he got manhandled by the opposing coach and he had no answer. Maybe fatigue was an issue - that could explain the 4th quarter collapses but I think there’s more to it than that. There was a lack of discipline and maturity at key moments when we needed it. By now you’d think that Smart knows he’s not option 1 on offense but he lets his emotions get the better of him so his heart rules his head. The worst thing that can happen to Smart in a game is that he hits a bunch of three’s early. Brad has to be tougher on his guys and he needs to learn how to stop runs. What he did in game 6 with the season on the line was inexcusable

in 2019 the team loses Kyrie, Horford, Morris, Rozier and Baynes...and we add Kemba. thats it. EVERYONE pegged us to not beat out the Sixers in our division and had us at the 8-6 seed in the playoffs. I was one of them.

Speaking of those guys:

Kyrie- Didn't play in the playoffs. His team was swept in the 1st round.
Horford- Sucked badly in the playoffs. His team was swept in the 1st round.
Morris- Ended up on the Clippers who grossly underachieved so badly their coach got fired. Bounced in the 2nd round.
Rozier- Team sucked and didn't even sniff the playoffs.
Baynes- Just barely missed the playoffs.

Guys always seem to have a worse outcome the year after we move on from them then they would have had on our team.

Exactly...the crisis that was made after losing to the Bucks last year and then losing both Kyrie (expected and good riddance) and then Al (unexpected) was obviously overblown this year. The reality is that Morris was in fact holding back Tatum, Al wasn't worth that albatross of a contract, and Rozier just wasn't that good. Ainge didnt listen to the fanbase and let Brad continue to groom Tatum, Brown, both Williams, Theis (who made a HUGE underrated leap) with Hayward and Kemba and Smart as the vet leaders.

Look, it sucks losing to the Heat against a high school zone, but the reality is we ended up as a top 4 team with all our young talent that can still get better. I wouldn't shoot the managers yet.

You don't even know what a rebuilding team is yet I'm the one who has no idea what I'm talking about? Lol ok.

If I wanted to use an F u tone I would have actually done it.. I was just trying to educate you a bit on why it's tough to win in the big leagues and why Miami will always have an easier time than us. Forgive me for trying to help lol

You opened your very first unsolicited response with "you don't know what you're talking about"

You set the tone for our interaction.

Boston isn't championship caliper. That must be very hard for you to read but not for you to understand.

We can't filed the same team year in and out and expect different results.

Changes happening this fall or someone already lost their job.

Tbf, you don't. But I never actually said that on my first post. This is my first post. 'you don't know what you're talking about' is simply not on here. But maybe deep down you imagined it because you know how wrong you are all around.

Spoiler:

Meh. Our rebuild finished the day we got Hayward. What you saw this year was a light reset and a small scramble attempt to put out the flames caused by Kyrie the team destroyer.

Our finished line up was meant to be Irving, Brown, Hayward, Tatum and Horford. Rozier, Irving, Morris, Baynes off the bench. Ainge did his thing. The amount of talent the man added to this team has been absurd, it just didn't fit. I mean is there ANY doubt we win a championship last year with Kemba over Kyrie? Because I have none.

Obiviously it would have been nice to see him hit a Gobert or Jokic or Bam with one of the later pics he wasted. But it's not like that's so easy to do anyways. I don't envy Miami at all and I bet they start looking up at us real soon.

Boston was not a favorite to win a title, sure.. but it obviously was and will continue to be a contender. We have been a contender for 3 years now. 2 ECF going 7 and 6 games in and last year a flame out on what many predicted to be a 60+ win team. We were literally the favorites to a title next to GSW as the season began.

Unless you want to say to me that a contender is only a contender when they win the championship..and even then you'd still be wrong ofc.

Dude. So many words. This team isn't good enough. You know it.

Not a contender. Keep rebuilding.

Only one team wins the championship. The rest are not good enough. Some rebuild if they are stuck, some reload and try to improve if they have the means. We are not a rebuilding team and nobody needs to be fired. My gosh.

I'm not gonna go through your post but you was screaming a different tune in the game threads.

Celtics wanna give out forever jobs then there's no urgency to get **** done.

Your green teamer approach to the math is why the equation is never true.

Either way, let's just agree to disagree and move on. Later.
