They only play hard defense when the game is out of reach. This shows you that they just don`t care. Why should we as fans do so

There's no way with the draft pick Danny's had over the years should we be finishing worse than the Knicks in the regular season. If Danny and the owners weren't so buddy buddy, he'd be fired by nearly all other franchises after getting to this point with what he's had to work with.

LOOOOOLL our defence got even worse

Its basically everyone playing against us that is not tanking. Even tanking teams seem to get a good 10% boost in shooting when they play us.

The one thing Pat Riley clearly does far better than Ainge is getting guys with some confidence and swag. What the Heat lack in talent they make up for with confidence. The Celtics lack talent and have a g-league mindset to boot.

this team is going to finish the season below .500

covid, injuries, your sister's uncle, that just can't be acceptable at this point

Grow some balls ownership

I can categorically say that the whole organisation is very "buddy buddy". It is a big problem.

Mike's player of the game is Herro, the anti-Langford.

At least we only have to endure three more losses and then the play-in loss.

We'll always have that Milwaukee series where he managed to handle Giannis 1 on 1

Grande said it best tonight on the radio. We have no vets and too many young guys. That's all on Danny.

I disagree with the Vet thing. Celtics lack rim protection and have lacked it forever. The hope was Rob Williams would fill that void but that man can't stay healthy. Additionally, their good perimeter defense has fallen off because both Tatum and Smart stopped playing defense this season. Maybe to do with the shortened break or more likely due to Covid.

Semi, Edwards, Waters and Tacko need to go! Offer a ham sandwich to Denver for Bol Bol and start printing the championship T shirts!

This is truth, btw. I can vouch for this as well, there is ZERO accountability within ownership and the front office.

I think this is mostly on Brad. He would give role players with limited skill sets 5 minutes to somehow prove themselves. Then bench them for weeks.

Just a query, were the Pats a relatively healthy team last two seasons or?

Excluding COVID stuff

Oh do you get to play multiple play-in games after you lose the first one? I haven't kept up, just trying to enjoy the losses as they come.

I’ve never seen every single player on a team get worse defensively quite like this team. Tatum, Jaylen, Smart all in particular have fallen off a cliff defensively.

I said it earlier, but the deep playoff run, short offseason, and covid have destroyed this team. Those three players have always been high effort on both ends of the court, I highly doubt they suddenly decided to stop trying.
