Both Teams Played Hard! Loss vs CLE 2/28 

Post#1 » by bisme37 » Sat Mar 1, 2025 3:03 am

Ugh you guys we rode a rollercoaster for the last 2.5 hours and then lost the big game this is less than ideal!

I didn't prep a loss thread because I didn't want to make us lose and now I've got nothing lol.

It was a great game and a great battle. KP and Jrue would have helped but we still could have won. The refs were infuriating in the 3rd and changed the game imo, so I didn't love that part. And Joe probably wasn't amazing tonight. JT had one of the best games you'll see, and JB was great too, so it sucks we didn't get the win. But in the end it was two good teams and the Cavs put a few more points on the board in this one.

Have a good night, Celtics pals. Early game vs Nuggets Sunday, Go C's!

30 point swing. Embarrassing.

I can't stand the coaching. Not a single adjustment. Just let the Jays shoot all game it seems.

We're the only team in the league with a Tier 1, cream of the crop superstar... who goes away from them multiple crucial possessions in a row EVEN WHEN THEY'RE COMPLETELY DOMINATING HAVING ONE OF THEIR BEST **** GAMES. **** all the way off man.

Joe Mazzulla and his "everybody eats" offense can take a **** hike

Unfortunately for us Joe didn't have a big enough talent advantage to overcome his deficiencies. Hopefully come playoffs we are fully healthy so we can over-match a team with our sheer talent..

On to the next..
There is no prize for coming so close Do something!

Poorly refereed game. Even with that Mazzulla lost the game for the Celtics. Ruined a great game by Tatum and Brown by sticking with players who were terrible for far too long.Even with the injuries, he could have used other players.
Edit: Extend Mazzulla

We all know that there are better results when the Celtics are boxed into the #2 slot.

Unfortunate loss, but it needed to happen to wake them up. The 3 year window is closing.
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

I just feel bad for the J's. The coach and others did them no favors.

Meh.

Just cruising until the PO’s and being healthy is the main thing for this team, we all know it too.

Last 8-10 games ramp up to get playoff ready.
