Always been the case. Last season we had no business going to 6 against a mediocre hawks team, going to 7 against the Sixers (won a game in Boston without Embiid), got embarrassed by the heat the first 3 games because they played with a lack of effort and energy until the impossible scenario occurred. Team wins off talent but doesn’t get down and dirty often

The level of arrogance from the key guys on this team never ceases to amaze me.

It’s been a thing for years.

Saw it in the bubble against Miami then almost shat the bed against Miami before **** the bed against the Warriors and then shat the bed again last playoffs.

Yet Tatum etc insist on strutting around like they’ve done something.

I think if they choke again this playoff season there's a really great possibility that he's moved.

Which is fine by me because I'm tired of it too.

I'd rather get rid of the coach

Yeah. You can’t get out hustled and worked this badly and still expect to win. Doesn’t matter how much more talent you have.

I know we had many seasons of this version’ish of the Celtics losing games to playing down to talent. I really can’t recall seeing that with the 23/24 group and thought it was past us.

Nope.
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

Keep chucking. No attempt to touch paint, like at all. Four straight possessions.

Porzingis has been beyond awful in this game. Is Queta out for the game?

Okay, i'll concede that these things happen not just to the Celtics but to other contenders, but does this type of embarassing performance happen AS OFTEN to the other teams as it does to the Celtics?
