..if Joe doesn't have a huge talent advantage, he is useless..last years playoffs should have proved that..lots of red flags this year as well..

I want him gone.

You'll have to wait one more season.

Only way Joe gets fired is if the Cs don't win it all in 2024 and 2025.

He probably wants to contain the bleeding so people on forums don't have strokes.

Why did Joe leave Tatum out there lmao, and why was he still trying defensively late in the third?!

Not even a mention of how bad White played in this game.

White is 0-8 and only 2 points.

Guess if the guy is very likable, he's a sacred cow.

He's actually played pretty poorly for the season. It's his worst season as a scorer both in volume and efficiency in the last 5 seasons. He's not making as many dumb plays but it's not like he's making a ton of smart plays either.

Rebounding really suffers when KP is out.

Al is just not a starter anymore and Kornet is just not good enough.

Another big man is more important than getting Caruso.

Agree.

Even a Drummond would help, especially in the rebounding department.

Kornet can score and block some shots, but he's just not strong enough to get those big boy rebounds.

The 08 team had continuity during the regular season.

KG, Ray, and Pierce rarely missed games.

This Celtics team always has players missing games, like KP, because they're trying to prevent injury.

Hard to get momentum when the team is always missing a piece or two every couple of games.


You're making my point here, Fierce1. Are you saying just losing KP is a good excuse to lose by 30+ points to the Clippers today? I thought this team's top 6 was more than adequate that when we lose one key player, we will still be competitive enough to win? Only Tatum showed up today to play. Did that ever happen to the '08 team?

The '08 Team's worst loss in that season was an 18 point loss to the Jazz, and it was because Ray Allen got injured early in the game, and Pierce shot just 1 of 7. That's their worst loss of the season.

As opposed to this game, where the Celtics knew that KP was out and had time to prepare. Looks like they didn't.

Exactly! We have enough guards and wings.

Yes drummond would have been fine. Even Biyombo can give you rebounding and defense on limited mins.

You really can't compare this 2024 Celtics team to that 2008 Celtics team.

KG, Ray, and Pierce were 30 years old or older at that time.

JT, JB, and KP are still 28 years old or younger.

Those 08 guys were already in their prime and playing the best basketball of their careers.

This current Celtics team still has some growing up to do.

The good news is this Celtics team is good enough to win it all.

Return to Boston Celtics
