Celtics deserved to be mocked by Butler but at the same time it shows a lot about them if they just come out flat per usual. No pride left

Maybe the shooting variance luck runs out for the Heat

Barkley is dead right when he said the Jays are too nice, and that they don’t have the dog mentality like butler.

They need an absolute dog on this team. No one in the organization has it. More or less everyone employed by the Celtics is like Ned Flanders. Thats scary

And they need it from a top 2 guy on the team. Smart has it, but isn't a guy you want taking over with that dog mentality. Grant sometimes has it, but even worse of an option. When was the last time Tatum or Brown got a tech for something other than arguing with a ref?

I can't believe I'm actually writing this but my first thought is someone like PJ Tucker. We need someone with that F-YOU attitude. We haven't had that in quite some time. I hate Tucker but someone along those lines, my mind isn't coming up with alternatives at this point but I'm sure there are others...

This video shows an unexplainable difference in the ball movement by Tatum and Brown this series compared to last year.

It’s deadset staggering.

I don’t think that will ever happen with the Jays. It’s either you have it or not. Grant Will has that mentality, but that won’t work for role players. Butler has this cockiness in him ever since.

I don’t care if we lose this series, of course its a done deal already. At least win a game for pride man. If we get swept, this will go down as one of the worst collapse in celtics history. Heck the knicks even put up a better effort than this.

Win one for the fans.

Who knows, this season has been a season of Celtic records broken by Jayson Tatum.

Maybe the Celts can become the first team ever in NBA history to win a series trailing 0-3.

It’s a good thing you don’t believe in jinxes because calling for us to sweep Miami multiple times before the series even with C’s fans pleading for you to stop might be what 100% of people consider a textbook jinx.

Not saying we win, but I think we have one final punch in us, at least like the Lakers did last night.

Sign Pat Bev. He’ll bring some much needed attitude and toughness to this team and unlike Tatum, he’s not afraid to take a shot in the 4th quarter.

Just give us a chance to win at the end. No blow outs, unless its us blowing them out. Who knows what will happen. Maybe the heat feels the pressure and we play freely after.

We already have that type of player in Smart lol. Two marcus smart in the lineup will spell disaster haha.

Nothing against Beverly but the last thing they need is another player that brings toughness that can't shoot. (If Danny was here still though there will be a real possibility he would sign him)

What level of changes do you want to see on the Celtics, this Off-season?
