Celtics were dragging their feet in mud, all night. And, for the last 2 months, for that matter..
Champions have a Target on them.

They don't care
They play stupid brand of basketball
Coach is stubborn and plays the 2 big lineup too much and not play the bench enough
Jrue and White need a vacation

Mazzula is the worst coach in basketball.

This team is an embarrassment right now. Just a gutless team. No heart. It took their 15th man to win a game for them last night. Clueless Joe had no answers again and was badly outcoached.

The only starters giving any effort were KP and Brown in the 1st half. None of the starters gave any effort in the 2nd half.

I don't want anyone calling Tatum a superstar. He was our 4th best player in the playoffs last season.

Pritchard with another dud. He was 1-11, before that layup with no one 30 feet of him. Pritchard was a limited role player last season. He played about 10 minutes a game in the playoffs and was a 3 point sub, now he's getting heavy minutes and has been struggling the last month.

I will say it again, this team will go as far as White and Jrue take them. They combined for 6 points and Jrue in particular is having a really bad year.

Jrue and Springer need more minutes, Pritchard and Hauser need to play a little less. I want to see Tillman and less of Kornet.

What we saw was two average teams playing each other. One team played their 5th game in 7 nights and they played this one on the road. The other average team had the odds in their favor and took care of the other average team.

I'm in favor of Sam Cassell for head coach, if Joe can't get this team turned around in the next 4-6 weeks.

It's not Joe's fault. He needs more talent to hide behind. As useless as a coach can get.

"This Rotation is set in Stone" - should be on his Tombstone.

We've all seen championship teams. This team is not that.

5th game in 7 days, on the road too.

I would consider this a successful road trip if we beat Dallas (3-1)

I do agree we aren’t playing to our best but I prefer to be healthy and peaking at the right time… still not panicking

The other flaws can be corrected, but a coaching change will not happen this season.

White and Jrue playing better can be done.

JB to stop playing dumb basketball is a reasonable ask.

But it's really annoying always blaming the coach every time the Cs lose.

Right now Joe is not going anywhere.

The Celtics system is what it is.

Guess it's about accepting it or be miserable watching Joe coach the Celtics.

Yeah, 3-1 would be a great outcome.

Panicking or becoming a master of panic is just not good for our health. :lol:

At least part of my frustration is that - even when these guys are playing well - I hate the way they play on offense.

I’ve had a gut full of watching this team jack contested threes and pretending that’s good basketball.

That I agree because a number of Celtic key players are not disciplined on offense.

JB is the #1 culprit because he loves heat checks and that's really a momentum killer.

Last season it was not a problem because the Cs had 4 players shooting 40% from 3.

This season, only PP is shooting 40% from 3.

JB and JT are having career lows in 3pt shooting % this season.

We have no choice but to endure the next 3 months.

Hopefully the playoffs will be better.

We should trade for CJ McCollum like Reggie Miller said. Just let other people figure the money out….

Disappointing Mazzulla game. Why no first half minutes from Jaden Springer or Queta or Jordan Walsh when the team came out so flat. What is going on with Derrick? Al Horford this year delivers a stinker so often, it’s lookin like Father Time caught up. And we didn’t shoot a ton of deep shots but relative to last yr, cutting has been too much deprecated in favor of keeping players stationed beyond the 3pt line, seems like a non sequitir emphasis on simply attempting more 3PTA than opponent, as if missed 3s outvalue 2pt makes, and it’s just a weird fixation.
