That's what happened the last time the Cs lost a playoff game after Brown left a shooter open in the corner.


What series was this fencer….I was trying to remember a similar situation this happened in because I thought it did but couldn’t recall


Raps with OG, in the bubble.

We need a head coach, not an assistant.

Very possible.

Replace Joe with anyone you consider a top-10 coach in the league and imagine the possibilities.

In my opinion, this core of Smart, Brown and Tatum were always kinda dumb. Basketball wise. I think the coach who allowed them to figure it out themselves at the end of a key playoff game is even dumber than them.


This. Jaylen and Marcus in particular really need to have things laid out for them and if you’re not doing that, we’ll just constantly be disorganized.

Should Jaylen know not to double off Harden all on his own? Probably, but this has been a recurring mistake for him. Soo

I also felt like we missed rob on so many cuts to basket, on dump offs to the basketball and him beating sixers down the court…hard to rely on him but there was opportunities for him to get easy buckets we missed

If the Celtics could grab a defensive rebound it likely would be 3-1 right now.

That’s BS. Rebounding is part of the game. What the coach can influence is time. Call a timeout. Advance the ball. 16 seconds, 2 timeouts, we didn’t get a shot off. That is head coach malpractice.

I'm just concerned this team doesn't have the killer instinct to put teams away. We saw this last year in the playoffs and we're seeing it now.

I know that 2008 team have issues in the first two rounds but at least they took care of business at home which is something this team simply can't do.

I don't disagree but since Joe isn't going anywhere why not try to get some strong assistant coaches around him?

It is absolutely never one reason. So yes it is not all on Joe.. But again I ask a question is he actually an asset to this team winning a title..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Just a bad bad loss. Started terribly and when we rallied to get back into it, our clutch deficiencies let us down again.

No chance he ever does that. That would be admitting personal fault lol.

It's real **** bold to hire a first time NBA HC with no experience outside of D2 college when you have championship aspirations.

Joe can accept a demotion to assistant. I don't think any teams are lining up to hire him at HC at this point.

I will say this, I thought the Celtics showed serious killer instinct today. Just a few dumb mistakes, but that’s something entirely different.

I don’t think so. He’s like Brad‘s passive personality without any of the coaching prowess or experience.

He was the wrong guy for this job.

Read on Twitter


Not the first time JB incorrectly helps off the corner when the only shot that can beat you is a three. Instead of winning your 3rd game, series is unnecessarily extended again.

But I don't understand why Al wasn't on Embiid in that final defensive play when he had success in the 4th and OT mostly single-covering him.

Well, if we won every big game it wouldn't be that interesting.

Game 5 is damn near a must win, so let's hope we at least get that one.
