No excuses from Joe


How about coaching the offense better, Joe? How about benching Kornet and Hauser when they stood and watched defensive boards fly by them? How about making sure X didn't keep getting switched onto on defense against Garland and Mitchell, over and over again. Yah, it was the players, Joe. Not you,

Multiple times. You set an asininely high bar, you’re going to be disappointed over and over. These are the playoffs. Series are won 4-2, not 4-0. Shooting variance, which will usually favor the Celtics, will, on occasion, go against them. They are still clearly the better team.

But go on calling the team and its players soft. That’s the type of support the team is used to from you after EVERY SINGLE loss.

Much of the frustration is thr fact they're terrible AT HOME with this core. It's brutal.

We have Tatum as our number one so anything is possible.

Great contribution.


That’s the best/worst part.

That post still was a better contribution than way too much of this board makes about basketball.

You’re in the other 20%, I’ll miss you the most scarecrow.

Here's the thing, once it was immediately discovered that the 3 ball wasn't working they were trying to attack the paint and midrange, that was sort of working but Cleveland was just lighting it up. Then we just started trading 3's for drives with coughed up balls.

Panic ball.

This team does not know how to play when it's close, just 20+ leads. It's always been my biggest worry, will just have to see what the response looks like.

A 30 point loss and a 10 point loss are the same. Giving up in the 4th is a fair criticism. The Cavs made some crazy shots at the end of the 3rd/early 4th, and that demoralized the team. I still don’t think that they would have won, but it might have resulted in a 10 point loss. The game was tied at halftime. **** happens. They’ll bounce back.
