Gentleman Celtics Agree To Not Win Every Game! Loss vs MIN 11/6

Post #1 » by **bisme37** » Tue Nov 7, 2023 3:54 am

Well crap you guys we didn't win the big game! BOOOO!!!!!

I dunno man. I have some complaints about the Celts tonight for sure. We forced plays at times, could have been more locked-in, most of the team was bricking shots all night, some of the lineups were weird, the execution in OT was wack.

But more than anything I thought the Wolves defense was excellent and a good opponent just played a little better than we did tonight. I'm not used to such a tough game vs Minny so credit to them and we'll have to get em back next time.

Season moves on, time to start a new streak!

Sixers Wednesday, Go C's!

Another post game where Joe says he should have called a timeout?

Let this be a lesson for the team. Can't win every game on just talent, let alone on heroics.

I guess the Sixers will have to pay for the Wolves' win. I can get behind the idea.

Also, I liked the Wolves.

Good to know we still **** suck in crunch time.

Disgusting loss.

Bubbles is a waste of time.

JT got hot too late & gave us 6 bad TOs. Jesus.
#7 had his moments - but overshadowed by multiple brain dead moments as usual.
Jrue nice on D - a liability on O.
Zinger disappeared w fouls.

Horrible closing to say the least.

Need to lose this game from my memory.

Sixers on Wed who are playing exceptionally well.

The refs won this game for Minnesota.

Surely theirs someone in the organisation that can teach Joe how to execute in games like this.

I dont understand why our coach doesn’t call timeout but has the balls to wear glasses.

ISO ball + Mazzulla idiocy. Enjoy your playoff preview.

I really hope that wasn't a glimpse into what the playoffs are going to be. A really great regular season, followed by the coach choking down the stretch, holding on to his timeouts (he literally said he wouldn't do this anymore) and Brown making low IQ plays with the game on the line.

Like for real, Brown defense down the stretch as he wondered around looking for a place to stand to watch the Wolves do their thing was pretty embarrassing.

Not gonna get worked up about it tonight but it is disconcerting to see this game unfold exactly how a bad 2022 game would have.

I was told getting Joe better assistants and a off-season to implement his system would alleviate this kind of bs.

I don’t even hate the idea but with Jaylen walking the ball up against Conley it just makes sense to hedge your bets and make sure they know what the action is.

Tried to play 4D chess in the 4th and OT and he’s just not that guy.

You guys are nuts. Minnesota is very good. They took them to OT in their place without White. The Celtics will lose games this year. The criticism here is totally unwarranted.

I'm fine with losing but how we lost just grosses me out. Looked alot like the same old Celtics that ultimately fail to get the job done every year.

Pritchard as the backup PG experiment is going very poorly.

I swore I heard a saying once that you learn from your mistakes. They even brought in Lee and Cassell to try to help with that, but to no avail.

Of course it's warranted. Win or lose, there was plenty of bad stuff tonight.

He just can't hang with real NBA players.

Said it in the game thread, absolutely horrible coaching. How do you not call TO to end regulation and let JB shoot a 3, IN A TIE GAME!

Played iso ball the last 15min of the game and it was a fail. Actually incredible we shot 39%/28% vs. 52%/38% and it was a one possession game in the end. Shows how huge a liability Gobert is

I know he had 5 fouls but they didn't even let KP touch the ball for the 4th or OT, smh

Where's PP? His foul to end the 3rd was the worst play of the game.
