In-Season Tournament, Qtr-finals – Celtics @ Pacers – 7:30PM, Mon, Dec. 4, 2023

How are we losing to these bums

Just gross. You really see the flaws in our offense, when we can't score enough against the 29th worst defense in the league. If Joe can't figure out how to beat that defense, what will we do against better defenses in the playoffs?

There is no flaw. The pacers did a really good job and brought intensity. The Celtics really struggle because Al isn’t what Al used to be. They really have nothing inside. Tatum was good in ISO. We couldn’t guard freaking Aaron Nesmith.

Truly is head scratching the lack of attack against a pathetic defence

We Need KP in the Playoffs

[NYCelticsfan136]

Mazzulla is a trash coach. Those 50 million lineup changes was garbage. Guy has zero feel for the game.

You can never trust this team in a close game. Whether it’s offense or defense they don’t get it done late in big games.

Not even prime phil can do miracles with this group. People in this board need to let that coaching crap go.

I think this was our first ever I t l fake comeback..

[pac213up]

Tatum crying again.

[Bar Fight]

JT literally never stops talking to the refs.

[WeLikeOurGuys]

Why didn’t we call a time out off the rebound?

[King Of The 4th]

Celtics desperately needed KP out there tonight, Horford and Kornet got absolutely cooked in drop on every play.

[Kalela]

I was hoping Jrue would the calming, confident presence in these big moments that the team lacked in the past, but tbh he seems like one of the most frantic and uncool players out there.

True. To be fair to him, he doesn't really the touch the ball at the end of games.

[bucknersrevenge]

Joe was keeping time out for these moments ! Worst coach! Fire this dude and hire Doc rivers

This is a bad joke no matter what the scenario.

[PierceFan4ever]

That pass by Horford sums up his ass of shame game. Saw this happen way too much last year in the playoffs. Porzingis has to eat up nearly all of his minutes come playoff time

[jfs1000d]

This wasn’t coaching ladies. Pacers, defensively, made life difficult and the Celtics defense was good.

:lol: JT literally never stops talking to the refs.

Top 5 complainer.

[GrandTheftRondo]

What’s with Nesmith carrying on like he’s some big tough guy?

Dude was an absolute bum here and played himself out of town

[canman1971]

This team isn’t winning anything of importance.

It's the same thing I always see with these guys. Stupid and soft and it doesn't matter who the coach is. At some point the players are what they are.

[Parasite]

If Joe isn't going to call a timeout down 7 with 40 secs left, what exactly is the moment he's saving it for? I have zero trust in this team in a playoff atmosphere. Joe is not a coach for the big moment.

But he had some really good quotes and sound bites this off-season!!! So he’s great!!

[Jakeopp]

Hard not to overreact about this. Yeah, it's just a stupid in-season tournament game, but the Pacers and their crowd had playoff level intensity and we choked. We're supposed to be the season/ veteran playoff team that plays with composure in games like this, but instead we get punked by a bunch of less experienced players that have hardly played in the playoffs before. This isn't a fluke and these guys are running out of excuses at this point.

[zoyathedestroya]

Very rare L when both Jays score 30+. Just the 2nd time it's happened I think. We got nothing out of Horford and Pritchard. Basically nothing out of Holiday.

[PierceFan4ever]

Nesmith won his championship
