Like I said, Celtics were horrible all the way around

coach included

Haven’t seen much talk about it but they gave up what seemed like a dozen completely uncontested dump offs at the rim.

Getting punked by smaller players proves it.

Next time Tatum ever drives, it'd be nice to see him not compromise the defense by arguing with the refs.

Be nice to see Horford not be scared to go against Green.


This is an embarrassing post.

You are an embarrassment. Posters like you, who believe the Celtics are beyond reproach in criticism, are a detriment to your team.

When players play scared, call them out on it.


Call players out all you want, based on reality. Softness wasn’t the problem. Poor discipline, bad communication, and trying to do too much was the problem.

The soft thing is lazy as hell, and obviously isn’t the case.

Rob looks like he has one good leg out there. Still challenging guys at the rim but not a lot else.

Home court doesn't mean much if we don't play better as a team. Starts with not turning the ball over.

True but then how can you not have faith in them winning another road game?

Because we suck in the 3rd quarter and the Warriors aren't going to let us off the hook again?

Looks like he is pretty much done. Contested and blocked a couple shots but got cooked in rotation a bunch of times and useless offensively.

And for all the people freaking out, the Celtics outscored the warriors by more in the 4th the other night than we got outscored in the 3rd today.

It happens, just bad timing lol.

More worried about the offense. Smart was absolutely terrible .

Curious to see if they have balls for game 3. They should be embarrassed by this. That’s twice golden state has been up double digits going into the fourth quarter.

Can't have Al, Smart, Grant score 2 points apiece. You can't win a game in January against OKC like that, let alone an NBA Finals game.

I hate silver linings but going home with a 1-1 split. Have to take advantage of it. 3 and 4 are must wins.

Btw the Steph three that tied it when we were up 5 was one of the most absurd push offs I've seen all year. Just gross asf that they swallowed the whistle on that.

Nah. You're 6'8 going against 6'5. The only thing stopping you from going to the hoop is your willingness.

Same with Horford at 6'10 5 ft from the hoop. McHale would've eat all day. Horford shriveled up.

Who cares that’s twice they have had meltdowns in the 3rd quarter. It’s amazing how this group easily lets a game get away from them in a quarter. It’s like a barrage.

Missed opportunity but so typical of this team; they win a game they were lucky to win snd they get high on themselves. Then a bunch of bad calls and they give up

Given what they have done this year I would say you do not have to worry about that.
