Joe is an AWFUL coach. How in the world does it seem like a good idea to keep putting Pritchard on the floor?? At least Brissett can play D and get boards. Its not like Pritchard is providing anything of value on offense anyways, he's too short to get a clean look, and on the rare occasion he does get a shot off it's not going in.

How can you be 1 win away from finally break through and come out with this lazy attitude? It just screams loser mentality.

If you trust JT and JB to close the deal, I admire your confidence. Wouldn't be shocked if they became the first team to blow a 3-0 series lead.

Most certainly. Definitely did not expect a sweep. It is over next game though.

So Boston has absolutely, positively been dog **** the last 3 quarters.

Meanwhile, that Joey guy makes zero adjustments. Zero.

Were these guys out prematurely celebrating last night? I don't get it. Every single player except maybe Tillman is playing bad.

I thought sweeping the Mavs and sending them home on their own home court/ending the whole narrative about them having a straight shot to the finals would be enough incentive but my God...

Celtics could conceivably Win the 2nd Half.
But, they need Bench Players in this Game.

Tatum?

Really?

Please.

He's been our only half-decent player thus far.

Jrue, White and Pritchard are 2-15 tonight. Jaylen Brown is 3-10 and 50% from the line.

He's available if we need a lob tip in attempt down 1 with .5 on the clock. Otherwise he is done for the series.

Well it would be nice to actually Is attack Luka.. We get wide open looks on top of maybe getting him in foul trouble.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

I think they thought they would get an easy win tonight and didn’t want him in street clothes for the champagne. Instead they got Dallas best shot and have no idea what hit them. Now we have to listen to ESPN suck Luka off til Monday. I’m so pissed.

I might give Kornet a go in the second half. Dallas has been really effective going to the paint so we should try if any other look can counter that for game 5. Use the 3rd quarter to experiment

The gameplan to just jack up 3's where you're cold is stupid. Just play the scrubs so Pritchard can get his 20 in garbage time :lol:

Return to Boston Celtics
