We might win this thing after all.

Boston has arguably the best top 7 in BB ( I think definitely) yet we struggle to beat 7th seeds and teams without their best players at home.

meanwhile Miami has no Butler, No Herro and 7 undrafted players with a way past his prime K Love. Yet they are winning on the road to a very tough NYC team who is desperate to win.

Playoff coaching matters so damn much.

Now imagine giving coach Mazz a roster full of 7 undrafted players.. take away their best 2 players (injuries) and ask him to win games...

We would be bottom 3 team in the league.

Imagine seeing Old fat Klye Lowery, Duncan Robinson, Max Struss, Kevin Love, Calib Martin, Gabe Vincent and Highsmith play better team defense than Boston and their talent.

How anyone can defend our current coach's abilities as positive has to be the biggest Joke is sports history..

Will start caring once we're 10 seconds away from banner 18. Until then, who cares.

More important things in life. It's just sports. It is what it is.

How were all those Sixers players, including Embiid who got a shove in on Smart, allowed to leave the bench after Tatum took that groin shot, without any repercussions? Do they not suspend players for leaving the bench during altercations any more?

To say that Tucker was completely unaware of JT and accidental is beyond ridiculous. It seems players can just swing their fists and arms around behind them randomly after plays without penalty.

We still have to win 4 Games (at least 1 on their Court). They only have to Win 3.

It doesn’t matter. Celtics are 2-2 in playoffs at home so far with two inexplicable losses.

They will Game 2 if embiid plays or not.

Biggest issue Celtics have is their head coach has no feel for the game.

Btw. I watch every game. The team is the best team in nba, but they don’t deserve to win nba title. They are missing focus and leadership.

Spoelstra is considered by many to be the best coach in the league right now. So you're saying that Mazzulla is trash, just because he's not as good as Spo? :crazy:

Oh, and the Knicks won tonight, so I guess your whole argument just went out the window :lol:

Let me guess though, you think Mazzulla is a rec league coach, right? Just like Ime was, just like Brad was. Just like Dwayne Casey was. Just like every coach ever, besides Spo, Popovich and Red Auerbach.

Ah No...

It's more like if this was a Race and Spo gets to drive a Fiat with 2 flat tires while Joe gets a brand new Ferrari and yet Spo goes circles round Joe, while Joes end up crashing into a Pond..

No one would say we need Joe to be as good or near as good as Spo, but damn its like coaching on the opposite end of the spectrum.

Just stop it man. We lost at home without Embiid, and we can’t stop old man harden getting a career playoff high despite having defensive specialists in Smart and Rob. Smh.
Maybe if they suspend players we can have a chance to win haha. This team sucks. It’s not playing down to opponents. They just suck. Lacks leadership and mental toughness.

I have had very little to say to this point for a reason.

I **** care too much & I feel very let down so far.

This is their **** year. They have the talent & the depth. The #18 pathway is RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF OUR NOSES!

But, as they have shown us all too often this season, A) lack of CONSISTENT FOCUS & INTENSITY (especially on D); B) lack of clutch leadership in close games down the stretch AND sustaining leads (I am talking to YOU, Jayson - incredibly MVP talented - but lacking in mental toughness … BTW, I don’t **** care about the stats you have posted, Comedian), despicable, brain dead TOV (#7, Smart & sometimes JT), lack of gang rebounding, too much Smart & too little MalDerrick BrogWhite at the end of games (in spite of Brog’s 1 horrible TOV yesterday & Derrick’s first bad game in a long long time), & Mazz’s horrific rotations/ATO non-plays & moronic problems with calling momentum-curtailing TOs ALL have been the kiss of death.

Win the next 4 games & SHOW ME YOU HAVE CHANGED, YOU OVERPAID DINGLEBERRIES/JACKWADS!
PROVE ME WRONG, MOTHER ****!

This is where the lack of a mega clutch & cut throat Truth, Legend, Mike & Kobe shows itself in spades. They willed their teams to clutch wins.

The end.

PS Debating radio silence during the next couple of game threads. Mixture of posters **** all over everyone & Hal’s green glasses group.

At least, the Heat v Knicks is a blood bath,

Will worry about Suns v Nuggets & hated Fakers vs cock sure **** Dubs later.
