Not sure, but I don't think there's an NBA team that lost a season series 5-0 in the regular season.
Beating the Knicks 5 straight times was just too good to be true.

That's what Joe is going to say after losing the first game of the playoffs!

If i was an NBA coach id be benching anybody that gives up an offensive rebound by not boxing out, its called being a disciplined head coach smh… Letting professionals THAT GET PAID MILLIONS get away with not doing from the fundamentals is a not a good sign and its been happening all szn as Joe Mazzula how are you not reprimanding these players for the lack of effort boxing out all szn (I know the numbers say we’re a top defensive rebounding team but there’s been numerous games where we’ve been DOMINATED on the offensive rebounds resulting to losses ALL from a LACK OF EFFORT. THATS COACHING. This what happens when u don’t nip it in the bud early ffs. If you guys think these offensive rebounding numbers are going to improve in the post season, I don’t see it.
The Celtics are the best rebounding team in the NBA…….

Tatum’s lazy effort set the town. Celts thought they could come out snd hit a bunch of threes snd win . Effort wasnt there all night. I can promise you that Larry Bird never mailed it in like tatum

Absolutely we are done.
I think we lose in 2-3 games in the first round and run it back, what do you think?
I think we face Miami and lose in 2!
Joe gets fired by halftime after Wyc runs on the court with security to escort him out!
This is the most likely scenario!
Except, PP runs on the court and **** himself and we lose in 1

In the end we're still watching the Celtics every chance we get.
That's why I don't take what Joe says seriously.

Celtics going through the motions.So if the idea is to not get hurt, why play? Why not call up the G leaguers and let them finish out the string?
Watching this shineola effort really makes you appreciate the teams that chase greatness while finishing out the season strong.

What worries me is that the NBA is calling less fouls and the C's crumble when teams get super physical

You’re right, I’m going to burn my Celtics jerseys too with a kangaroo watching.
