Celts Build Brick Wall, Put Their Backs Against It! G5 Loss vs PHI 5/9 (PHI leads 3-2)

Post #21 » by **shackles10** » Wed May 10, 2023 2:05 am

Ime: you’re playing like a bunch of ****

Joe: I liked our execution

Come on Joe call them out as a bunch of taints in the locker room or something! Save some face… they deserve it. Can’t decide if Thursday night can’t come soon enough or if I wish we had a few extra days. What a gross feeling for a team with championship aspirations.

This series thus far. I got Joe and Al at the top of the list. Al shoots like he can the series is already over. He shot 2/19 in three games. All his shots are wide open

A few months ago I mentioned Udoka when we lost game 5 to the Bucks. Dude went to the podium and said ‘it will be a lot sweeter when we win game 6’ ..

We then went to Milwaukee and won game 6.

Joe aint that guy to lead a team in that way. But the guy who scored 40 that night is still here, so is the rest of that core.

These guys have to be better. These have to play the best game of their season Thursday. I think they will. But we will see.

I agree about Joe, but the "never recover" stuff is so insanely melodramatic lmao. All they need to do is fire that scrub and get a real coach in here.

This team is not winning a championship... Congrats to the Lakers on officially becoming the best franchise in the NBA with 18 and LeGOAT on his 5th ring.

Game 4 loss was a tough punch to the gut. Hopefully we won't still be dazed and confused come game 6.

Tatum didn't play one of his best games by any means, but he at least showed up. Jaylen was shooting well tonight (aside from the FT line), we should have made an effort to get him more/better looks.

All these years and our guys still haven't figured out the benefit of pump fakes etc when taking to the rim against a guy like Embiid.

We were +12 in the 8 minutes Pritch played.

Not sure what pisses me off more.

These Boston Celtics...

Myself for actually trying to believe in them again..

Or the f****** blind green teamers who forever b**** all year long When some of us criticized what we were seeing and acting like nothing is f****** wrong..

Before the scrubs came in the game with 4 minutes left in the game everyone not named Tatum/Brown had 9 made baskets the whole night.

Celtics will not win many games that way

I just hope I live long enough to see JT's next efficient Playoff game.

They just promoted him to HC mid-season. No chance they fire him. He'll get at least another season.

Celtics are yet to have a night when their 3s are not falling. They are due. When that happens it's a double digit loss. That's why you can't lose both close games in a series.

My comment after game 4. You can't win in the playoffs if you're gonna lose every close game. Celtics with 2 blowout wins, Philly stole 2 games they had no business winning. Those two losses are real problem, not tonight.

There's still a chance to win 2 in a row and advance. If not, this group might never have a better chance of winning it all. Home court + no elite teams left. It's a shame but it is what it is.

Even if this team gets past Philly there is simply no way they are good enough to win a title with their massive flaws.

Shoutout to Mazzulla for turning one of the better defensive teams I’ve seen into an insufferable to watch three point jacking, cupcake defence team. Looking like a glorified 2018 Rockets.

Shoutout to Tatum for coming back after an abysmal finals and still carrying on in the exact same pathetic manner whenever he starts missing a few shots. Constant ref whinging, dumb turnovers you name it.

Said months ago the vibes with this team were off badly. Weren’t playing championship ball and it has carried over into the playoffs.

Can’t see us winning game 6.

PierceFan4ever · Post #36 » by **PierceFan4ever** » Wed May 10, 2023 2:09 am

Season is over. Time to move on from Horford and smart. They’re cooked. Robert Williams is cooked. Brogdon has not lived up to the trade these playoffs. White folding again in the playoffs. Tatum super inconsistent plays in the playoffs happening again. Brown boneheaded mistakes happening again.

This team doesn’t have it. If they somehow beat the Sixers they would get blasted by any of those west teams.

We don’t have any tough players on this squad. Just soft three point chucking players. This is why I always devin Booker at least he **** talks win or lose. At least he has that. We have a bunch of quiet players who don’t have the IT factor.

Tatum is never going to lead this team to the championship. Should’ve traded for KD when they had the chance. At least he can shoot midrange unlike Tatum at least he can hit free throws unlike brown.

Joe sucks but for people to be putting it all in him is laughable. This team has ZERO HEART. Zero. And they have had zero heart for years now. I read time and time again these utterly DELUSIONAL takes like “oh they will just turn it on in the playoffs” and the like and I’m mystified at what team y’all have been watching the past several years. THIS IS THEM. THIS IS WHO THEY ARE!

They DO NOT rise to the occasion. They DO NOT have another gear in the playoffs. They are soft CHOKERS and the sooner some of you realize it the better.

If they're smart, they'll fire him. Who cares if they just promoted him mid-season? Falling in the 2nd round makes it clear that hire was a mistake. Don't drag it out, end it and move onto the next chapter.

Almost better off losing now then getting embarrassed by Lebron.

Honestly, it depends on the nuances of the situation. If our players come to believe that Ime got scrapped and slandered b/c an executive's ego was hurt, then we won't recover from that situation. But yeah.

A lot of complaints I have about Joe were complaints I also had about Brad. He seems determined to learn and improve, I'm cool with him returning but we need to try and find a stud assistant to pair with him.

Hopefully we recover and go on to win the series and the narrative changes.

What was most Ass-of-Shameful?
