There isn't any planet, in any solar system, in any league, in any sport, where a coach should call a last second, game tying/saving play, for Marcus Smart to be a part of. He is the worst offensive starter on the team, and our worst one in crunch time.

Until they start playing some defense there's no way this team is serious.

I understand anyone who’s saying it’s one game, it’s not a big deal, etc. I do. But oh my god there could not have been a more predictable outcome and that is not at all a good sign.
All. Year. It has been this crap. Mazzulla and crew too busy literally rolling around on the practice floor to take a team seriously and compete. Just nothing serious about these guys and there’s no one to focus them.

Yeah Horford is washed. He was great last year but he’s **** cooked.
Robert Williams needs to play more, wtf is this him playing limited minutes??? He was playing good too when he was out there.
We have one of the worst coaches in the league. Smart is a turnover machine, Tatum shrinks in the clutch when it’s tight, brown is another turnover machine, Brogdon pisses his shorts when he’s open late, Horford is a corpse.
This team isn’t winning a championship. They would get destroyed against the warriors, lakers, or nuggets.
You can’t trust this core late in games on both ends.
Rob doesn’t fit Mazulla’s worped idea of a title team. Chuck heaps of threes, be pathetically soft defensively because analytics say so!
Just flat out garbage coaching.

His looking for fouls and not getting back on defense did hurt a little. I get what you're saying though.

Oh and let's not forget that they can now comfortably sit embiid out another game without worry. They won the game they needed to win. Nice going C's, idiots.

The reason they lost lies in the last 4 guys in the list of 9 above. That's where the loss rests. They lost it before the last few minutes, but then during the last few minutes they couldn't hold onto the ball and they couldn't make enough shots (that a Championship worthy team should be able to execute).
You don't win in the NBA PLAYOFFS if only 5 guys play well. And only 5 Celtics played well tonight.
You Usually Need at least 6 guys to play well.
Hey Jammer take your stupid + and - stats and shove it! We all watched the game , our studs choked in the end and disappeared. Brogdan was garbage in the end. Smart was one of the few positives in the fourth fighting for every play!
You're clueless. Tatum and Brown and old man Horford and Gimpy Rob need more support from the REST OF THE TEAM. THEY DIDN"T GET IT TONIGHT. TATUM AND BROWN DID WAY MORE THAN SHOULD BE EXPECTED FROM THEM. AND SMART's play was not worthy of 35 minutes of court time. You may luv the kid, but he was not even backup worthy tonight. That's how ineffective he is. The only reason his plus minus doesn't blow is because he plays with Tatum and Brown. Put him with the lessor players and even his plus/minus will plummet.
And Smart played about an average game for him. He's normally a +10 on my scale. So today's +9 puts him right about his average game. That's the problem I've been b*tching about for years. For the minutes he gets, he doesn't contribute enough. One really good game out of every 4 or so doesn't offset all the others.

We literally waited half the year to get Rob thinking he was going to be some supreme defensive deity only to find out he can’t jump or move anymore so Mazzulla just threw him in the broken toys box.
Rob’s not the same guy he was last year, but either way i don’t get why we’re playing him the way we are.

Yup, like I said a few minutes about, get Tatum help. Tatum is really good at so many things, pair with with someone that isn't scared of the big moments. That's on Brad and the owners. Also Brad and the owners with with Joe, a rookie coach. Why not give me a few assistant coaches who have coached in the league and been successful at it.

Re: REALLY?? Yep, We Lost To Philly! Loss vs PHI 5/1 (PHI leads 1-0)
So did the Hawks. The funny **** is they told me it happened because ATL was 3rd in offensive rating but Philly wouldn’t because they were 14th or something.
All teams have to do is set one simple screen and the ballhandler has a clean look at a three OR he can go downhill..dude can pick. Harden literally had his best game in years and people are wondering why.

At least they really can't match the Bruins choke and underachieving. They are trying their best though.

Just exactly what have we been spoiled with?
Jayson Tatum is the Kirk Cousins of the NBA. He puts up stats but when the lights are brightest,he's nowhere to be found.
Give me someone who can take the game over down the stretch over this soft Kobe wannabe.

Lots and lots of Brown is gone talk on social media. Brown had just 10 shots (and was 8/10) to Tatum's 25 shots.
