I’m just laughing now when Russell made that 3. Of course he does. Of course he does

He was wide open.

[leper-con]

Give credit to the Lakers, they punched the Celtics in the grill.

The Lakers caught fire and the Celtics couldn't respond.

It's still an aberration as the Lakers are not this good from beyond the arc.

But we gave them life when we started lackadaisically, and their confidence kept growing and growing and growing. It’s our fault.

Now they run offense

[MaxwellSmart]

This the type of game that can kill a locker room....Brown gonna be pissed he got benched....even though he deserved it badly.

[Parasite]

**** this team. To let the Lakers of all teams come in here and do this, all while missing LeFraud and AD, is absolutely gross. They should be profoundly embarrassed.

[Red2]

Is this the worst loss of the year?

[MrGreenRunsDeep]

Fire Mazulla

[GotDaSauce]

Now they run offense

When they should be taking 3's they abandon it!

I mean literally like all of your posts are ranting about Joe. Even in games when he does nothing wrong.

Very easy to pin everything on a coach.

Plenty of contending teams have had **** playoff losses over the journey.

The point is Ime had some **** losses too. The longer that passes since he coaches us, the more mythical as a coach he becomes. The two losses at home we had against Miami in 2022 were absolutely horrific.

Joe will be moved on after the season if he doesn’t get the job done and that would be completely fine with me. Brown will likely be gone with him. I’d be fine with that too.

Pretty sure losing a 1st round game on a Trae Young half court iso is worse lol And literally all your posts are making soft excuses about why this team isn’t a fraud, coached by a fraud.

Life eh.

Bucks just got rid of their coach and they have like 3 less wins than us. You either get it or you don’t. It’s very simple.

All I’ve said is we will find out about this team in the playoffs.

They have two different starters to last season.

You can rant all you like until then but that’s the reality.

Mazzulla doesn’t come close to Adrian Griffen in terms of coaching ineptness

You need to watch more ball if you actually need to see them play in the playoffs to realize they will struggle BADLY. This 3pt offense isn’t sustainable against elite competition, which is why we are under .500 against the top teams. The defense is also not as good as it looks. The bench is crap. Simple issues to see.

Mazzula isn’t close to Griffen? And you say that based on what exactly? Both guys were separated in the standings by 3 wins, yet one has a lot more two way talent in his hands.

[Red2]

Brown was f ing awful

[GrandTheftRondo]

Easily one of the worst losses I’ve seen in my entire Celtics supporting life

[Jaqua92]

This team has a lot of issues. A LOT. To those that get their panties in a bunch whenever someone points out something wrong with the team - I give you exhibit A - this version of the Celtics.

*Those* have never been right about this team.

They'll be in the finals this year, and they'll win a championship, but they're not getting it done this year. Mentally, still not ready.

I’m just laughing now when Russell made that 3. Of course he does. Of course he does

He was wide open.

You give teams confident right from the start why wouldn’t this happen? The way the Celtics started the game was a **** joke. They never learn

[Jakeopp]

Tatum has fallen off this season. Last year he was so much better. No wonder SGA and Booker have hopped him this season. Hardly any scoring explosions anymore.

Best record in the league, most talented team, but are absolutely frauds come playoff time. They’ll get dogged by any of the top teams out west. The east is weak but teams like the Knicks will make them work

It's a bit depressing watching guys like Booker, Embiid, KAT, and Luka drop 60+ when Tatum hasn't even seen 50 since last season.

[MaxwellSmart]

WTF, Celtics like they never played BB

[Green89]

The amount of space on their open threes, without strong contests or our hands up is concerning.

[GrandTheftRondo]

Another pathetic effort from Tatum

[Bar Fight]

JT is rattled

[leper-con]

No killer instinct

[Tatumfor2]

Lmao
