The coach can't control every shot the players take.

JB took an ill-advised 3 in OT that allowed the Hornets to tie it at 116 all.


Please stop.... This was the same team that was fully healthy that barely squeaked out of victory against the worst team in basketball last night..

This coach is literally clueless Or spineless as the players make the same dumb decisions almost year after year.. At some point We shouldn't even be close enough to miss a big free throw.. There is such a huge talent advantage and we barely squeak out against bad teams on a regular basis..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Every team has games like this...bad losses over 82 games. I've noticed the last 2 games the effort level from the other team was noticeably higher than ours for a lot of time.

Need to refocus a bit. I'd like to see Mazzula go a bit deeper at times into bench on b2b and stuff. Need to find an energy guy

That game was under control until they decided to throw it away.

They looked sloppy and mediocre all game, even with the lead.

Hornets kept making timely shots

Fixed

Their roster isn’t that bad, Ball started the year terribly and Bridges has only just returned.

They are trash

Oops I did not mean to +1 this post. I agree Brown should be off this team though.

Lol. L to the Hornets because he couldn’t keep a crap team down with a simple timeout.

You keep supporting mediocrity though.

You should whine more.

Celtics currently have the best record in the NBA and just lost in a close one on the second night of a back to back.

So mediocre



You should suck Joe a little harder I don’t think he's feeling it enough yet..

The Celtics have the biggest point differential in the NBA.

Expecting an NBA team to blow out every team they play is comical.

Even the KD Warriors didn’t do it.

9 point lead with 2 mins to go. A team as experienced as this should never lose a game like that, especially to a team like the Hornets.

Ah homophobic comments. How childish.

I’m not even a Mazzulla fan but your whining about a team that is 11-3 is comical.

First I think Joe is in over his head. The playoffs are my actual fact.

But this is the NBA. Every team has good players. Celtics have 2 of there best 6 and quite possibly the 2 biggest glue guys out. Joe isn't missing FTs. Last night Joe did something the Celtics needed. He benched the Js when they were mailing it in. Eventually players have to execute. This one isn't on Joe. I actually think we barley squeak out against bad teams cause our guys play up and down to competition. That has been pre Joe though.

Whats on Joe is watching the lead evaporate down the stretch and refusing to call a timeout to stop it when his team clearly was out of sorts. His defiance about keeping two timeouts available NO MATTER WHAT is really inexplicable.

There’s 82 games.

Our last title team didn’t play 82 perfect games.

This is just one game the Celtics should not have lost.

You'll still be very happy once the Celtics finish the season having the best record.

Out of sorts? Tatum missed a bunny. And Jrue missed 2 FTs. Brown also missed 2 shots but it wasn't terrible looks
