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

[GoCeltics123]

I don't really get the people bitching about Jaylen shooting a wide open 3 when he had just made one.

Should he have called a TO in OT? Yeah. But the Jaylen shot was fine. This team needs to stop going away from KP in big spots btw.

Wolves are going to be pretty good this year, their team is really solid.

Question for the night:Is this a team or a collection of Elite Talent?

[Shak_Celts]

Btw our player development is ASS. Idk who you want to pin that on..but it’s crap. JD still in Maine, Walsh in Maine..a team hard capped from now til infinity and we just absolutely can’t find contributions from guys unless they are vets.

I mean Walsh was a raw second round pick and it’s been six games. JD was a late second round pick, who was EXTREMELY raw. Like 95% of second round picks never play real minutes lol.

The team just hasn’t had earlier picks because Brad says **** them kids. Hauser was a development guy though, and is very useful.

I mean, we came up good with Grant, Rob, and Hause (Nee is solid without us), but we have not developed many guys from draft to FA. Those 4 guys are the only ones worth mentioning through development over maybe a decade outside of the Jays. Most other guys are out of the league or barely hanging on, it's surprising that we haven't found more role players over such a long stretch. I know it's harder because we win so much but dang, can we find a couple of guys to develop and keep longer than a year or two?

Gotta give Pritch more time but man what happened to the aggressive guy in the preseason? I know he probably doesn't want to step on toes, but he has to learn like white did, you have to be aggressive and make things happen when you're playing around guys on this team. White went from a guy out there standing out of the way to a beast because he doesn't wait around for the Jays to do it all. Pritch will have an advantage and back up or stall right out of it, just to pass it away to a Jay. Go and get it lil dude, they WANT you to (it helps), look how much they love White.

Didn't like how the Jays settled for jumpshots late in the game and in OT, and didn't get their teammates involved. Jrue forced a lot of shots as well, and KP got into foul trouble which removed him as a factor. The team really misses DWhite these last 2 games. The team is definitely different without him.

[GoCeltics123]

Going away from pick and rolls with KP as the roll man in crunch time will lose this team a lot of games. They can't afford to do that

[GoCeltics123]

Minnesota stomped the defending champs earlier, btw.

Yeah loss is a loss but this Minnesota team is really good at home. 4-0 now

[Bad-Thoma]

Meh, can't win them all and that was a good game against a surprisingly good team. Edwards is no joke. Definitely a better team when Towns is in foul trouble.

[Shak_Celts]

man, I thought Ant fouled out when he mauled Tat for that jump ball, they gotta fix/change or enforce the rules. he slapped Tat 5 times before even getting near the ball, that's a FOUL! How is it still a loose ball if Tatum regained possession? Possession wasn't gained simultaneously as the jump was called. Hit someone any other time if they have possession and it's a foul.

[Fierce1]

Cs had the ball with 37 ticks left.

Joe called timeout.

It was a 2 for 1 opportunity for the Cs.

But Al lost the ball out of bounds.

And JB also had a chance to win the game, but he missed.

This loss is not because of poor coaching.

You should not shoot a 3 when tied. Your best chance at a W is the highest percentage shot, which is much closer to the basket than a 3. You also get a much better chance at drawing a foul than launching a three. It would have to be egregious for them to call one of those from deep on a final possession. All the way around, it was the wrong shot.

Agree!

But this is JB we're talking about.

JB has not yet figured out how to be a clutch player.

[Fierce1]

You don’t think teams are able to focus on both playing deeper rotation players for 3 minutes, and winning?

Lmao

Like I said, Joe didn't coach this way the previous 5 wins.

Joe is not the best coach in the league, but this loss was not because of Joe.

The Cs turned the ball over too many times and only JT shot 50%, all the other starters were below 50%.

We've been playing ISO ball most of the season. Most people ignored it until it burned us tonight.

That's because it takes time for the Jays to adjust.

JT is showing better progress, but JB still hasn't figured it out.

Numerous times JB had multiple defenders around and he still refused to kick the ball back out.

The Wolves turned it over 23 times. That's usually always an L for a team who does that.

True.

The Cs turned the ball over in crucial moments.

JT being forced into a jump ball by Ant Man and Horford losing the ball out of bounds because of carelessness.

Those were two key moments in the game that could have changed the outcome of the game.

JB will never figure it out. He's too dumb.

Tatum is fine. Some bad habits. But overall he's fine. UNLESS he's handed the ball and told to create while everyone else stands around doing nothing. There is no player in the league that excels with that approach. Which is why Joe's incompetence is so problematic.

Guess some of you guys will have to shoulder the burden of having Joe and JB because both will be with the Cs for a while.

In Tatum’s defense about isoing on ant, ant did have 5 fouls

So I'm right but stuck with them?

[fallguy]

I'm going to tip my hand here.

Wyc isn't on board with Joe. Which is why JVG, Sam and Charles Lee are all here. But it's not going to matter.

I'm afraid so.

I'm not the biggest fan of both JB and Joe, but rooting against them doesn't do me any good because I know if the Cs are going to get Banner 18, the Cs need both JB and Joe to do their jobs.

This is true. Towns is trash. I was annoyed when he was off the floor.

As long as I'm right.

Still, neither JB nor Joe will be here in two years.

That depends.

If the Cs get Banner 18 this June then Joe and JB will not be going anywhere any time soon.
