Lol... This board never changes...lol

We're gonna beat the Cavs. Nobody is worried about this series. What matters is how we stack up against the top teams out West

Probably referring to the JB shoutouts after the turnover.

Live and die by the 3

Once again - a coach makes adjustments in game 2 and our genius coach let the players figure it out
Garbage time of game 1 Mobley went got his stride. Start of game 2 - doing the same thing.
How come our coaching staff can't see it and adjust?!
Cavs said they wanted to run us of the 3 point line - why not come with some plays to get us open shots?!

Also:
Strus is really bothering JT. JT is forcing bad shots against him
Kornet is a shadow of what we saw in game 1. Really bad
We need a better rim protection right now. Maybe get Queta a couple of minutes?

[Roger Federer]

Jaylen Brown's left hand is still the biggest joke in the Association.

That end of the half play was disgrace to basketball. Ass!

[islandkid12]

something's up with Tatum. Idk maybe he's hurt? Just seems like he's playing 60-70% of what he's capable of

That's what he does.

The dude doesn't play like a Kobe or Ant or any aggressive take no prisoners player. I've accepted it. We just need him to be a good all around guy with timely scoring.

ugh I hate that - maybe he's not that perennial all nba 1st team guy that I touted him to be. I legit looked at him in previous years as potentially an MVP and top 3 player in the world once he hits his peak but idk whatever I'm just yappin. Go Cs

[exculpatory]

Awful

[KamikazeK]

How come our coaching staff can't see it and adjust?!

Too busy thinking about their next jobs I guess.

[zoyathedestroya]

Cavs paying closer attention to White this game. No easy looks. They're leaving Jrue alone to do whatever the hell he wants lol. And we're not really a cutting type of team. Good counter when defenders stay home on shooters.

[PierceFan4ever]

Gotta protect home court! Celts better turn it up for the second half. Need more energy, guys need to be locked in defensively.

[Fierce1]

What's missing from this equation is Derrick White.

If White gets it going, it will be an easy Celtics win.

[Ben-N1ce]

Lack of any real homecourt advantage is pretty embarrassing at this point for a while now.

[JR Hawks]

Brown and Tatum played selfishly in the first half. Zero ball movement.

Jrue needs to focus exclusively on defense. He's a ball stopper and shot misser when he is proactive on offense.

Luke was brutal defensively. Missing KP tonight.

Yeah but we've seen this script before with White iced out and the Jays taking turns. The ball movement slows to a crawl. I want to see Hauser and Pritchard in more which will force the tempo up and increase the ball movement. Why is Jrue playing more than White? I don't get it.

[BK_2020]

Joe just made a fist pounding gesture as he spoke to the team. I think our plan is to pound them in this quarter.

Tell us more how the Bucks are going to win the east

[Lee Van Cleef]

Compare the way we play to how the Knicks play.

[PierceFan4ever]

Nice 2 threes by Mitchell and garland…

[Celts17Pride]

Celtics need to defend period!

[Bird84]

JT is NOT near elite finishing at the rim.
