Hope so.

Boston has arguably the best top 7 in BB ( I think definitely) yet we struggle to beat 7th seeds and teams without their best players at home.

meanwhile Miami has no Butler, No Herro and 7 undrafted players with a way past his prime K Love. Yet they are winning on the road to a very tough NYC team who is desperate to win.

Playoff coaching matters so damn much.

Now imagine giving coach Mazz a roster full of 7 undrafted players.. take away their best 2 players (injuries) and ask him to win games...

We would be bottom 3 team in the league.

Imagine seeing Old fat Klye Lowery, Duncan Robinson, Max Struss, Kevin Love, Calib Martin, Gabe Vincent and Highsmith play better team defense than Boston and their talent.

How anyone can defend our current coach's abilities as positive has to be the biggest Joke is sports history..

Spoelstra is considered by many to be the best coach in the league right now. So you're saying that Mazzulla is trash, just because he's not as good as Spo?

Oh, and the Knicks won tonight, so I guess your whole argument just went out the window

Ah No...

It's more like if this was a Race and Spo gets to drive a Fiat with 2 flat tires while Joe gets a brand new Ferrari and yet Spo goes circles round Joe, while Joes end up crashing into a Pond..

No one would say we need Joe to be as good or near as good as Spo, but damn its like coaching on the opposite end of the spectrum.

BUT BUT BUT..he won coach of the month in like November!


Worst coach in the NBA. Watch us come out and run a **** drop on Harden to start this game I will set fire to the Boston Garden.

Watching the Lakers yesterday hound Curry and Klay, the Warriors couldn’t get into the paint unless it was Draymond. Unbelievable. And they did it with **** Austin Reaves, Russell and Dennis Schroder. Built a wall around the perimeter, never let those even get a clean look at the basket and recovered on every blitz. Just a **** joke we are this year. A joke.

It’s not just the lakers, the kings did a good job against them. You rarely see them get wide open shots. So disappointing we can’t even guard old man harden lol. and without Embiid lol. I don’t want to hear the playing down excuses. This team is just awful defensively. Sucks that we don’t have a post up option like the lakers and kings. Our offense is too predictable. Our rotation schedule never ever changes lol. Joe has no creativity. Too obvious haha

[London2Boston]

Win or Good Night.

No excuses.

[Celts17Pride]

Must win game. Very curious what kind of “adjustments” Mazzulla does tomorrow.

Adjustments by Mazzulla?

Team shows heart tonight and we win big.

Everyone still tries to blame Mazzulla for player ineptitude

Agreed, C's will come out hot tonight! problem is, they should have for game 1! Crowd was weak too, it was like a regular season game.....That being said, Joe needs to be better! Maybe Brad should tap into his headphones and run the inbound plays for the team, similar to an offensive coordinator and a QB. It's amateur hour on the sidelines and the press conference after every loss is pathetic!

They shot like 93% in the first quarter so I'd say they started out pretty hot.

Haha agreed. Lebron and AD are old, but they move like 25 year olds. They play hard and smart. Lakers mediocre support crew are less talented than ours, but they look like defending champs out their with defense. We got talents that are being wasted by Joe Joe.

I was pissed off yesterday and at this point I'm not even trying to be negative but looking at how most of the remaining teams play versus how Boston plays, even though Boston is talented, it just isn't a formula for winning a championship.

I've always said a team will never win a championship with Harden as their number one and the Celtics top two guys, Tatum and Brown play almost identical to Harden where it's just a ton of dribbling, iso, turnovers and last second shots.

It's terrible basketball and at this point I think I've accepted it's not going to win Boston a title.

[Celts17Pride]

OK, Game Day! Nothing but positive thoughts.

Tatum and Jaylen play nothing like Harden lol, what.

In these playoffs, Harden has gone ISO 38.8% of the time, in the regular season, he went ISO 30% of the time.

In the playoffs, Tatum and Jaylen COMBINED have gone ISO 26.4% of the time. In the regular season combined, it was 27% of the time.

Wow. A total epiphany from your normal optimistic views on the team

[Feed Your Head]

Just a deeper dive into those numbers

Dribbles per possessions.

Harden
Playoffs: 4.87
Regular season: 4.77

Tatum
Playoffs: 2.69
Regular season: 2.85

Jaylen
Playoffs: 3.43
Regular season: 2.80

Turnover rate amongst top 20 usage players in these playoffs.

Jaylen: 15%, which is second highest.
Harden: 14.1%, which is seventh highest.
Tatum: 8.6%, which is fourth lowest.

Regular season

Harden: 16%
Jaylen: 11.6%
Tatum: 10.4%

Not similar at all, though the rest of these playoffs, Jaylen needs to take much better care of the ball, and dribble less lol.

Lol I don’t even live in Boston. Idiot.

[meatball sub]

might just be better off locking down on defense and sacrifice some of the good offense we have to focus their energy on the other end.

If we played the same defense as we did last year we’d be dominating every game since we have the addition of Brogs to help us during offensive lulls. It starts and ends with defense.

They HAVE to be better or they ain’t winning a damn thing
