So we have to hope Mazzula is Barry Switzer and they can just out talent everyone like Dallas did.

Tatum has been playing like someone who is dealing with some off-the-court issues for awhile now.

1\10 on threes…. is this really going to be the fn formula come playoff time?! You need to mix it up if it’s not falling sheeesh

Cavs screwed up by not leading by 30+ after the first. We got them right where we want them.

This team just doesn't win when they shoot under 30% from.

Unless Boston can get that 3-point percentage in the mid to late 30% tile but they're not going to win.

It's a line up of Tatum - PP - White - Horford - Hauser who the heck do you think is going to run and dunk? If you could get a layup by wishing it every team would be doing it.

That winning percentage isn’t going to mean much in the playoffs when they show up like this 1-2 games a series and ultimately drop it.

Too many 3s, that’s a coaching philosophy problem…

It's been their formula for years.

Celtics don’t really move the ball much and just chuck as many threes as they can. They have all the talent in the world but it’s hard to fully believe in them getting the job done come playoff time with this style. Tatum needs to get his ass in the paint same with holiday who is just a zero on offense

Easy to point to the 3's and yeah they suck but they missed basically everything that first quarter regardless of distance tbh

Boston's lucky they're only down by 10.

Ben-N1ce · Post #134 » by **Ben-N1ce** » Wed Dec 13, 2023 1:04 am

10 is fortunate.

Kalela · Post #135 » by **Kalela** » Wed Dec 13, 2023 1:05 am

Cavs suck. Only a 10 point lead after the first while the Celtics didn't bother to show up at all.

Sorry guys, have just arrived. Giving the guys a pep talk before the start of the second. Say a prayer for the Cavs.

Got them right where they want em.

Time to curb stomp Mazzulla once more...

They take the first open 3. 100% by design. I have zero doubt that is a coaching philosophy.
