Not as down about this loss as some. I thought they played hard, not always well, but not disgustingly bad as has often happened recently. Easily could have been a W. Spurs made some tough shots. Breaks went their way. No way near as bad as some of their losses to worse teams this year.

Umm, look how many points they gave up to a bad team. Their defense sucks. They should never have been in that position.

It is. It could be called. But it had no influence on the shot.

That wasn’t on Ime.

Tatum couldn’t get open, and Jaylen was horrible down the stretch.

What do you expect??? We have an end of bench type of a coach, that only focuses on defense. Lol. He was like that as a player, and he’s focusing on that as a coach.

Tatum went 6 for **** 20, he sucked all game

He played hard and good D. He needs to get easier shots. Everything he does is so damn difficult.

Love Brown but if he drives left on that play he has Tatum in the middle for a lay up.. Instead he went middle and cut JT off. Turned a 2 on 1 play in our favor into a 1 on 1, then 2 on 1 play in their favor. Low IQ play.

No individual game has been on Ime.

That said, he has been terrible this year. I honestly can't think of something he's done well, and his personell choices are indefensible at this point. You can't, can't, can't keep throwing out these groupings with three non-shooters at the end of these games. Its coaching malpractice.

I'll live and die with those Jaylen drives any day. At least he's attacking the basket and he normally isn't going to miss some of those bunnies



If he wasnt run into the ground lately he probably would have made it.

Our guys need help.

The problem with the offense is it's a free for all.

There is no hierarchy.

The Lakers go to Lebron or AD in the clutch.

Brooklyn can choose among their big 3.

But the Celts have no go to guy in the clutch because everybody thinks he will be the hero!

Jaylen scored 30 and he almost tied the game at the end! Wonderful player! He even had an assist! (and 3 turnovers).

This is totally on the coach.

Ime is operating a rudderless ship.

I’m not saying Ime is good, but he’s not why they lost this game.

Jaylen was playing his heart out and was by far the best celtic on the floor.

Was a number of reasons why they lost.

Number of reasons why they lost all the games they did this year.

Common denominator is ime though

I agree. If the offense was good, we should be winning this big! Same as with the orlando game. Ime is clueless! No identity as a team.
