Celts Can't Dip The Nuggets! Loss vs DEN 1/19

[Parasite]

We need one more guy. Hauser is a zero in the real games.

I've been cautioning this group for a long time about the performance of Hauser, Pritch and Kornet against Miami, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Denver, the Clippers, Minnesota and OKC.

Tonight was an example of what I was referring to.

Posts like this amuse the hell out of me. Tatum and Brown have REPEATEDLY shown that they wilt under the brightest lights and in the biggest games and we are blaming the bench? Too too funny.

OR
We need Tatum and Brown to be the players this board hypes them up to be.

Pritchard/Hauser are kind of pointless at this point I won’t lie. Get cooked by everyone(especially Pritchard) and way too many players that will get shots over them.

Yet those who have man crushes on them repeatedly say we don't need to upgrade the bench for the playoffs.

Where was the double on Murray or Jokic? When those two are scoring at will, let someone else prove they can beat you.

Celtics didn’t do it once

Denver scored 102 defense wasn’t the issue. They got every stop down the stretch

Offense was horrible but defense didn’t help, neither did pace

[PierceFan4ever]

Tatum not playing at the level of last season. He’s gonna have to be a star if the Celtics want to win a championship.

I just don’t have trust in the Jays late in games it’s why I’m still not fully confidence in this squad getting it done. They panick late in games and their IQ goes low. Tatum does his dribbling crap threes, JB bricks shots or free throws. Just give me white and Porzingis late in games at this point.

[Sweet Serenity]

Unfortunate that we didn’t get the win but great game to watch.

A lot to learn tonight but that’s what the regular season is for.

[Bar Fight]

Is it just me or did JT maybe get fouled by KCP on that last shot but they didn't call it? Thought he may have gotten hit on the lower body..JT normally isn't gonna miss that shot so badly - especially with the game on the line where he focuses even more.

They ain't calling that weak ****

The playoffs will come down to our offense. The D will be there.

Tatum and Brown flat out sucked tonight. I wanted anyone but JT to take that final shot tonight.

Combined 2/17 from deep

This was the game - if the shot ain't falling they need to try other higher % shots...and Brown can't miss both crunchtime FTs, cost us the game too

[fallguy]

Why didn't Joe challenge the bogus KP offensive foul?

[Shak_Celts]

With time to calm down… I ain’t calm!!! JB decided not to make a bucket to save my life. Jokic is amazing. Murray is really good. Hit some damn shots!! Open open open!!! Try driving!!! Go score damn you!! Ugh!!!!

Not the first time Brown's missed freebies contributed to an L.

This cannot be disputed. Put Celtics in a tight game you can't trust them. Simple as that. And against anyone.

[Celts17Pride]

Murray and Jokic 29 for 43 for 67%
Other Nuggets 13 for 38 for 38%

[SuperDeluxe]

AGAIN. Well coached playoff teams WANT JB to shoot these 19 shots.

I don’t understand why our least efficient player is entitled to more shots than White and KP on such a frequent basis.

Keep in mind that White and KP benefit from all the space that the Jays create by just being on the floor. They might not be as efficient without them.

You falsely accuse. I didn't blame bench. I pointed out a Team deficiency. Huge difference. And if you saw my follow up post a few below the one you replied to you'd see another deficiency of the Team.

And as far as failures in punching matches in the last few minutes, I wrote a lengthy post a few weeks ago of how Brown was not a Top 30 finisher and Tatum not a Top 15 finisher as far as getting one bucket goes. Still, the coach of this team does not run multiple actions to try to minimize that.

& he’s back !

I’m in the game threads almost every game +1ing other posters. I don’t have to post all the time.

But yeah, we agree, HES back! #7 everyone’s favorite player!!! Remembered for the cool dunks & making tough selfish shots.

Don’t worry about the missed shots that could go to more efficient players to help the TEAM win.

Saw it in the Heat series more specially game 2 when the Celtics were up 7 with 6 minutes before butler and Grant got in each others faces which resulted in butler taking over while the jays went soft.

The offense needs to run through white and Porzingis late. I’ve seen them hit a lot of big shots in close games and don’t seem rattled like the jays.

[CelticsPride18]

Mike Malone didn't run any special sets down the stretch his stars executed when it mattered. Tatum miss 2 layups and brick a few mid range shots. Can’t win like that

JT has traditionally been a crunch time killer.

BUT I wonder what his numbers look like under Joe?
