I'm In No Mood For a Clever Thread Title! Loss vs IND 1/8

[Fierce1]

Not surprised about JB's last shot because he's still a work in progress.

I understand Joe letting JB cook in the last few seconds of the game because it was house money.

If JB missed that shot and the refs didn't call a foul or reviewed the foul, the clock would've been still running and we were headed to OT.

[fallguy]

Bad call from the refs on the Hield foul but dopey decision-making by Jaylen and Joe in the final minute.

It’s not dopey when that is a foul, they they say it isn’t a foul. The dopey play turned into two free throws for Boston, but refs took it away.

Of course it's dopey. That Jaylen got fouled doesn't negate the fact it was a dumb shot and he stupidly left time on the clock.

[Green89]

Anither questionable game ending by Joe. And Jaylen shows why we still question him. You NEVER shoot that early with the game tied on the road. NEVER. Even not getting off a shot and going to OT would have been a better outcome than leaving them time on the clock.

Saw this loss coming as soon as Tatum was out. Was even more sure they’d lose when Haliburton went out. It lit a spark under the Pacers and the Celtics were asleep defensively.

That sort of offence is what the Pacers do. They’ve done it four times to the Bucks.

Brown’s shot at the end wasn’t smart but he kept us in the game all night. Absolutely robbed by the referee too.

No doubt some dudes on here are going to have their usual tantrums though.

We are travelling fine. Even when we lose it’s close.

[Kalela]

This team has showed over and over again that they can’t get a good shot off in the flow. Just call a TO.

Joe doesn't know how to draw plays. lol

[Jammer]

I'm astonished that the best athletes in the world are filtered thru many levels to achieve an NBA roster spot.

But there are so many incompetent refs in this league. The NBA treats them like it's a career job.

They should fire the bottom 10%, minimum, EVERY SEASON.

There should be a continuous open door for better skilled refs.

It's a sham that the NBA is so far behind the NFL and MLB.

If I was the Player's Union, I'd insist that this be part of the NEXT CONTRACT.

Regular turnover of the bottom rated refs, with no possibility of return.

[playa-hater]

This is the disgusting loss. Some people will say they are proud because we put up a good fight.. Not me.. the refs plurely blew that call on Brown..

But yet that is one of many examples. How we should have called the time out. No one in the right mind thinks that brown shot was a quality shot... There is no way any reasonable coach. Can't get a better last second shot after a time out than that..

And playing Kornet in a double big lineup is %#^$^#< fill in your own blank..

And lets also thank Joe for getting an ice cold SVI minutes in the 4th quarter..

[ConstableGeneva]

White makes a couple more shots, we win. Not putting the blame on him solely cos our defense was poop, but yeah, without Tatum, needed efficient DWhite today. 4/16 not gonna cut it. This year hasn't been great for him so far.

[Ben-N1ce]

Lost in the 3rd despite Jaylen getting fouled. I dont trust Joe and his dumb figure it out trash. It can cost them a series.

[fallguy]

Anither questionable game ending by Joe. And Jaylen shows why we still question him. You NEVER shoot that early with the game tied on the road. NEVER. Even. It getting iff a shot would have been a better outcome than leaving them time on the clock.

These two are going to be a rollercoaster ride in the playoffs in crunch time.

[PierceFan4ever]

Feel like every loss minus the Magic and maybe the Thunder one one has been frustrating this season, games Celtics should not have lost.

Mazzulla has been absolute garbage in the final seconds of games. How many times does he have to watch this team miss without calling a timeout at the very end. Tatum at least would take the shot with no timeout left, brown isn’t in this position often. You should’ve absolutely called the timeout.

[Froob]

Unbelievable to overturn that AND give them the ball lmao and then to have the audacity to call that foul on KP

[BK_2020]

I think someone needs to get into JB ears and let him know that was not a good shot at all at the end, despite the obvious foul missed.

I don't mind him taking the final shot with a 40-piece but they threw a double to him and he even drove into buddy hields corner to throw a contested double pump jumper between 3 defenders. As soon as he saw the double team he should've passed it to White.

I'm surprised because two possessions before he actually made a great pass to Porz total

But don't get it twisted. That was on the refs. You have multiple reviews and angles and decide to call it off jusy based on one? Yeah, straight BS.

Yeah I just don't understand how he ended up in the corner of all places, standing right next to Jrue. Not only did he get himself triple-covered he didn't have any passing angles.
But if one angle shows that only the ball was touched that's pretty conclusive non-foul (and only proves that the other angles were deceptive).

No union is going to go to battle for getting people fired.

You have a point, as not having KP in there when we needed a tip in was stupid.

[KamikazeK]

Loss vs. REFS 1/8 you mean

What losses aren’t frustrating?

Losing sucks lol. I want to win every game.

This team has been so consistently good this season that the losses are annoying as because they generally involve the opponent playing completely out of their skin.

Mathurin and Nesmith were absolutely balling.

Their whole team was fired up after seeing their guy go down.

Why are you surprised when all of us agree that JB is not the sharpest knife in the drawer?

Cs not as great when they're missing JT.

But refs decided this game.

That's life in the world of professional sports.

[fallguy]

Not sure the refs were responsible for the third quarter.

We played fine. They hit some really tough shots in the 4th and we probably should have won anyway without the bs overturn. Loved how we fought back down 6 with 2 mins to go and Pacers had all the momentum
