We gave away like 7 or 8 pts, in that OT.
Just lost our focus.

What's your point? You can't just look at free throw totals to assess the refs.

Unfortunately they can't win every game. I thought the last play was absolutely ridiculous I don't remember the last time and ISO game winner actually worked for Boston.

Joe still has no idea went to call timeouts. When it comes down to is Minnesota hit all their timely shots and Boston continue to play selfish so not surprising they got a big fat loss.

Sixers playing extremely well that's going to be a tough game.

Only one I’m going after is the coach.

Call a timeout to draw up a play in regulation. Call a timeout when Edwards is ass stuffing you for 7 straight points in OT.

We will lose EVERY single game where our talent doesn’t completely stand out. Every single one. Dude has ZERO impact on the game. Only thing he did to help was the foul on Gobert. Worst coach in the league.

It's like the 6th game of the season and Al is already calcified.
They should trade him and some of the other Not Ready For Prime Time Bench Pieces for a legitimate player.

Mazzulla ain’t it. Not one timeout during Edwards abusing Horford… No timeout at the end of the game leading to a brown chuck….not making any plays involving Porzingis

Celtics still a great team but these things late game issues from the coach and just offensive chucking is a concern.

Also the team was missing their 3rd best player in White who would’ve been huge in playing over Horford and Pritchard.

And wtf was Joe's experiment with playing Svi and Lamar like 4 minutes each? Either play them or don't. Lamar played decent defense.

I hope they didn't give Pritchard that money with the intention of keeping him long-term.

But I can't imagine they gave that money to him thinking that that would be financially a good thing for a trade either

Which has unfortunately been a hallmark of this team. Yes, we’ll lose games but lots to not like and lots of old bad habits.

Coach was bad. Who let's a team go up 7 in OT without a timeout? No timeout on the last possession.

Jrue shot like trash so that was the big difference. Not good enough if you aren't drawing fouls.

I honestly wonder if Van Gundy is the coach-in-waiting.

Joe is still the same moron he was last year, even if he's cuddlier with the media.

It would be easy to blame this as a poor shooting night, but some of the 16 Turnovers were just stupid. Obviously missed Derrick White, who would have probably lowered the turnovers and provided some points as Pritchard was scoreless in 20 minutes and his 3 assists are less than ideal for a primary ball handler. Pritch is more of a shooting guard on offense, which makes him my top Celtics trade candidate, which might not fetch much since the little tyke only makes $4 Mil this year, but then starts a 4 year, 30 Mil contract.

He's cheap-ish and will be traded eventually.

Exactly. They should have played more.

We played too slow and too much iso. Please move the ball vs Philly or we will lose again
