PLAYOFFS, Rnd 2, Gm 2 – Cavaliers (0) @ Celtics (1) – 7PM, Thurs, May 9, 2024

I'm starting to think Smart wasn't the real reason why we can't get over the hump.

[BRUNiNHO91]

Hey guys - what's your favorite tactical move from Joe in the second half?

Finals!

Right?

What are you laughing at? You were here spitting your little positive BS all year. Don’t back track now. Talk up Joe and this **** team..

[Green89]

Brad's worst mistake of his GM tenure was hiring Joe. This team needed a talented vet coach who could fix the problems these players have had for years.

[Fierce1]

Come on, guys, Mitchell banking in a 3 at the top of the key?

I mean really?

Celtics have no shot of winning this series if the Cavs make shots like that.

Zero chance!

[Kalela]

We let teams get so comfortable than wonder why they can shoot so well. When it's easy and they get comfortable it happens. They Play harder on defense than us and make shots less comfortable.

Exactly.

[zoyathedestroya]

Why do people act like Tatum is the only superstar in the league that gets this much attention on defense? What a weak ass excuse to give him. Some of y'all coddle Tatum like a child.

Tatum has 25/7/6 on 17 shots, 1 turnover. His issue is that he’s only 2-5 from three, he should have taken 10+ tonight.

Mitchell has 29/6/6 on 18 shots, 1 turnover.

Maybe if we actually consistently ran the offense through him, things would have looked different offensively. Instead it’s an equal opportunity offense, which is fine when the other team can’t score.

My concern, which I’ve brought up repeatedly, is that this team has lost its hierarchy offensively, and I was concerned that they wouldn’t adapt when the game called for it.

The game called for it tonight, and nothing changed.

LOL.

Jt is a mouse. No dog in him. Just a 3pt chuckster who gets his points from the free throw line.

[meatball sub]

this is all that piece of **** ime udoka's fault

[Lee Van Cleef]

Starting to think we have the worst best player remaining in the playoffs.

Pacers don’t have anyone better. Apart from that, you are right. We also have the worst coach.

[PierceFan4ever]

Honestly think the Cavs should be favored in this series unless KP comes back.

[MrFrank]

I miss that real Celtics championship contender of Pierce, rondo and garnett. They had pride and where strong at home.

Where’s your passive aggressive posts about all the mistakes White made tonight?

[BRUNiNHO91]

I'm starting to think Smart wasn't the real reason why we can't get over the hump.

Brad is lucky Smart was traded for Porzingis and not Jrue. If it was a straight swap with Jrue I’d be calling for his head. Jrue is trash.

[bigfoot_cryptozoology]

A blowout loss at home to an undermanned Cleveland team!
Unleash the AOS!

[KillahGhostface]

Jt is a mouse. No dog in him. Just a 3pt chuckster who gets his points from the free throw line.

You understand how stupid this is? Yeah?

Getting to the FT line requires physical play

[NYCelticsfan136]

Let’s see how they respond in game 3 but i am so sick of this team’s inconsistency.

[fallguy]

Watch the difference in how hard OKC plays tonight. Night and day.

[leper-con]

We learned nothing from the Miami series
Make life hard in the other team

[The Corey's]

I'm starting to think Smart wasn't the real reason why we can't get over the hump.

Rondo was definitely part of the problem. You don't improve as much as we did without him and say he was part of the core.

I still think it's Brown too who just doesn't demand the respect on defense needed to earn the money he's making tying up all that money from building a deeper roster.

None of that changes the fact that the Celtics shouldn't be getting blown out by the Cavs at home. That's on coaching more than anything.

25 on 7/17 isnt that great.

His mentality is completely off. Every playoffs it’s the same BS with him.

Has it in his head he can just sleepwalk through games.

You see how Mitchell attacked relentlessly and looked to kill the game off in the third quarter?

That’s the **** Tatum should be doing.

Instead he plays like he’s sleepwalking and the result doesn’t really matter.
