At least Mazzulla has an extra timeout he can take home with him

Start of the fourth quarter I thought this series reeked like the Miami 2023 series.

I was right.

This team is completely braindead.

As soon as they go up 20, they’re incapable of putting their foot on the throat. Good offensive possessions, get to the FT line? NOPE.

just keep messing around, chucking 3s etc and let the Knicks back in it.

They’ll probably lose game 3 in some cooked way and wonder where it all went wrong.

Tatum wonders why he doesn’t get praise? Just look at that entire game.

0 **** FT ATTEMPTS FROM YOUR SO CALLED BEST PlAYER AND A TON OF BRICKS

I can’t even be mad at the Knicks. Like I’m throughly impressed at their grit.

They’re taking advantaged of a scared team and Thibs has completely outclassed Mazzulla.

After all this “Celtics City” pumping our tires crap, this team is an utter stain on the franchise.

Can they fire Mazzulla during a series?! He’s a fkn bum IDC what his fanboys have to say. Scal and House questioning him big time?! WTF is Zinger on the bench when we’re getting killed on the boards, no called timeout to end the game and run a play?! Intentionally fouling like some amateur and it came back to bite in the end, what a Choke jobbbbbbb. Keep losing and this units going to implode in the off-season?! Another 1 and done, embarrassing. If this unit has any type of legit Basketball Coach , it’s at the least 1-1 right now . UNREAL

we played a pretty good game tonight (compared to gm1), guys gave a lot of effort
I thought Horford had no legs (2-11) and obviously JT didn't shoot it well
KP getting sick like this and Sam getting hurt, is horrible timing
just hurts...

It's on the Jays now.

They can fold and go home early or fight and get this back to Boston 2-2.

Game 4 will be the hardest to win.

The league didn’t make Tatum play like horse crap these last 2 games.


No but they ignored a clear foul to D White on the tip which gave the Knicks a critical 4 point swing and they gave Brunson undeserved free throws to win it.


If we kept the big lead, these had no effect
blowing 20 points lead, going 0-14 or 21-2 in the fourth isn't a ref problem

The fact we had people in here comparing Tatum to Larry Legend makes me want to vomit. Bird is probably thoroughly embarrassed knowing he’s being compared to that giant pussy Tatum. Soft as baby ****.

Maybe someone leaked an email from Chisholm before Mondays game that said “Brad what can we get for everyone? Yes I said everyone”

JVG might be available this offseason. Who else should we be targeting?

We could have went up 22 on a Brown and Tatum two on 1, where they threw the ball away. They looked at each other with a "no big deal, my bad" casual look. They needed to be pissed and fired up about that turnover. No killer instinct when it matters. You don't relent up by 20. You crush your opponent. They relaxed. That's on Joe, too. He should have screamed at them after that turnover.

Celtics believing the press being written about them. They thought NY was going to just lay down and quit. Instead, they punched Boston in the kisser and Boston don't know what to do about it. Boston is back to playing like they did in the finals against GS. Shooting three after three, even when they are not going in, playing iso ball with no passes to try and make the highlight reels, and making stupid ass turnovers.

If I'm the new owners, the player I trade is Brown. Boston had 16 TO's, and Brown had 6 of them and he always tries to dribble and split defenders and most of the time loses the ball. I also have to look at Joe. He is supposed to be the direction of this team, but too many times he just wants them to "figure it out on their own". If that is the case, why do we need you, Joe? We had a TO left and Joe just said go for it.
