I agree with you 100% do something before you start talking. That said, I do agree with them. If the Celtics win tonight and then take care of business at home then lookout! Heat will be up 3-2 and then have enormous pressure to win Game 6 at home.

We are a long way away from that scenario. Prove it first tonight.

The only thing the Celtics are gonna do at home is give the crowd a in person opportunity to boo the **** out of them.

This team is great at saying encouraging things that make people think they finally get it.

This team is bad at what happens after that.

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.


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


Smart cannot be back on this next year. But aside from that, Pat Bev is a better trash talker, has a better shot and his attitude is way more imposing. Smart is tough in the sense that he takes a lot of physical abuse but he doesn’t really do anything to get in other teams head or impose his will the way a Pat Bev would. Just imagine the Jays doing the “too small” taunt all game or Pat Bev running his mouth during the Pressers instead of relying on Grant “Imma make boof” to be that guy :lol:. That is the attitude change this team needs, not Smart flopping on the floor and blaming all his bricks and turnovers on his team for the 10,000th time


I agree smart must go!

They’re not winning ****. Bums talking bc that’s all they do is talk. And then when the game starts they start jacking up threes & don’t put forth full effort. As soon as the 3s stop falling they collapse like a bunch of losers

I would’ve had some faith if they were talking like this with a win last game or at the very least a close loss but they just played the worst game I’ve ever seen them play in a playoff game and got punked. Lots of embarrassing moments like butler mocking Horford and bam dunking all over the place. So I’m not buying anything this team says until they do something about it.
