No Cheesesteaks For Us! Game 4 Loss vs PHI 5/7 (Series tied 2-2)

[rd26]

Okay I will play your silly game. We ran down the clock....what is the play then? Tatum was covered. You would rather him force a contested shot vs making the pass to the open man who hit the shot?

I am not defending running down the clock. But once they did, they made the right play.

Please follow the thread.

It's not on Smart for not having the **** time to shoot the ball.


It's on Joe for not calling a timeout. Twice.

It's on Tatum for being a beta. Twice.


But Smart reeks of a man who thinks he's more important than he really is and if he could shoot better than 30% from the field, they wouldn't be doubling Tatum in the first place.

Smart should not be taking 2 of the final 3 regulation shots. He shouldn't even be in the floor.

Tatum made the right play outside of running the clock down. That is my point. Passing to a wide open Smart for 3 is the correct play. If you disagree, fine, but pretty much any NBA coach would be happy with that play outside of the poor clock management.

There is no such thing as making the right play after the game is over. I don't care if Steph Curry is sitting over there. A late pass is ALWAYS the wrong play

For the fourth or fifth time now....I know.....we **** up by running the clock down. I am saying if you remove the clock, passing that shot to a wide open Smart is the right play. That is it.

Tatum is being called beta for passing vs trying to score and I think it's idiotic. That is my gripe here

I am all for accountability when it's placed correctly. Brown for helping off the 3, and Tatum for running the clock down. Hell I can even ride not liking Joe not taking the timeout, but it's been the plan for multiple of our coaches.

I am just not scapegoating like people love to do here with Joe and Tatum. For better or worse, Joe made the same play that our last 2 coaches have made and everybody acts like Ime was some coaching genius for doing the same thing. Tatum making the correct read and pass is not beta. It actually is the opposite. It shows maturity in his game vs forcing shots like he did early in his career.

It’s not worth the effort man, this guy basically spends the whole game thread personally insulting our players. If someone unironically is using the phrase “beta”, you should leave the scolding to their mother.

Probably uses woke unironically as well

The right play is Tatum or a Brown. For the 5th time already.

You're talking about how it unfolded. I'm talking about what should of unfolded.

[Stan34]

Dumb Jaylen, he had a solid game. Only one TO, 5 assist some down the stretch too and then you make a stupid error like that? Unexcusable.

Said that I don't understand why +5 down the stretch, Smart with the ball takes a stupid step back 3 with Tucker on him. Why?

And too many offensive rebounds in crucial time by Phila.

Last possession, phila has no time-out. You have to take a shot 4/5 seconds left on the clock. If JT misses and the sixers get a rebound we foul theme having one more shot to tie or win.
Why take the shot at the buzzer?

Cool so be completely predictable on offense. What a great basketball mind.

I know this thread's going to be filled with the usual torrents of golden showers by all the usual pissers but I was encouraged by the growth I saw. Missed open shots in the beginning DIDN'T lead to head hanging and poor D and the team stayed chipping away and got the tie. The refs were frustrating in the 1st quarter as well, not a lot of whining and getting distracted by it. Tatum couldn't throw it in the ocean and the 1st half but man did he rebound and play some D and he was masterful in the second half. As for not taking a timeout IDGAF at all, Harden and Joel both were dead on their feet and you know the play is going to be give it to Tatum and let him make the right play. Why give Philly a break and let them game plan defensively?

Good comeback against a good team, within about a quarter of a second of being a great win.

Lol. You're out here with you're racist buzzwords and implicating them on me? For what.

Get out of here with that nonsense.

As for the poster you're replying too. Never heard of them. Stay in the shadows. Beta was used correctly.

The only thing predictable is the Celtics blowing it in the final minutes and usually with Smarts hands in the blame pie.

Exactly this. Smart made the play as well in that game and everyone talked about how great Ime was for trusting his guys and keeping the momentum when the Nets were on their heels.

Joe does the same thing and he gets dogged on because the game went the other way.

Racist buzzwords? I'm not going to sit here and be accused of racism.

[GoCeltics123]

It's the same stuff that costs them at the end of these games. Been the same things all year.

1. Complete inability to grab a defensive rebound, leading to second-chance points
2. Getting into the offense way too slowly
3. Joe CTE coaching/not calling timeout when the play is going nowhere
4. Inexcusable defensive breakdowns that lead to 3s.
5. Turnovers (sometimes)

[165bows]

This Philly team was by a ton of objective measures a top-3 team this year. Stinks though that when Boston wins a title that goobers will throw shade at them for how easy their road was.

“Without Middleton (TM)” forever!!!

You can’t just “remove the clock” lol. All that matters is getting a shot off in that situation. You have 14 or so seconds and don’t get a shot off, that is a horrendous play. No way around it

[Marvel]

We can all piss and moan about the late game stuff but at the end of the day we got home court back and it took an absolute herculean effort at home for Philly to squeak out a win. We are in great shape.

You can't be serious.

Isn't that what you was doing when you accused me for some reason out of no where for not understanding how to use the word woke?

You know what you did. Own it.

Not calling a TO in transition after a missed KD shot is not the same as not calling one off a made basket against a set defense

I am in full agreement. I don't know how else to say that. Fine, lets do this.....Tatum was also called Beta for passing to Smart at the end of regulation. Plenty of time on the clock and got a wide open 3.....That is the correct play to make.
