Celts Still Caven't Found What They're Looking For! Game 2 Loss vs CLE 5/9 (Tied 1-1)

Read on Twitter

I hate it when the analysts get too technical.

Can you give the the cliff notes? I took a look at the tweet and....well.....TLDR.

J. B. Bickerstaff actually outcoached Joe.

You could probably outcoach Joe if you set your mind to it.

Clippy from MS Word 98 could if you really challenged it.

But we know Brad isn't going to do anything, even with Vogel on the market.

For how great brad is at roster construction, he hates leadership disruptions and will ride out Ime's mistake into obscurity.

Celtics are winless since Charles Lee got a new job. **** the Hornets.

I just want to say that the “fans” on here are in another world with their ridiculous expectations. I’ve got news for you. The Celtics are going to lose again these playoffs. 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.

**** outta here with this BS.

Name me one other title team that continually got punked on their home court every **** playoffs.

The Bucks lost a home game by 40 in their title run.

Fallout of this game needs to NOT INCLUDE rushing KP back

we whooped on them in the first half when they sat Mobley and Mitchell, they didn't sit them together in the second half, and we made no headway. I thought we'd have a chance to do it again in the 2nd half but they changed it up. DM stayed in and went to work.

Bad offense games will happen. Its the playoffs, they’re inevitable. But I’m extremely disappointed in the lack of defensive intensity every other game. We are 11 games away from a title yet these guys are still sulking and going through the motions on defense if the offense isn’t clicking. Bad offense is such a lame excuse to give up on defense, you should even play harder to keep yourself in the game.

The 21-22 team never took a play off on defense. In the end, their offense failed them but the defensive effort was ALWAYS there. I can’t understand why they can’t lock in on that end when its 100% under their control and they have the personnel to be elite on that end. It baffles me

Knicks will eats these guys alive in the ECF.

C’s need to get there first . What a difference in effort between the Knicks games and our playoff games. This group is Soft and shows no heart/passion

Nah Should break out the # 34 Jersey and book an operating room for 12 heart transplants.

[Red2]

No excuse for this performance.

[Jammer]

Well, where do we begin? The defense was abysmal. But the offense was putrid.

Championship Teams average better than 1.3 Points Per Shot. They just DO (in the last 10 years).

Now, Cleveland scored 118 Points on 86 shots = 1.372 which is better than anyone in the last 10 years.

Now, the Celtics scored 94 points on 80 shots = 1.175 Points Per Shot which is not worthy of a playoff team.

It's an anomaly, so instead of beating up the individual failures, hopefully this stinker is an aberration and not a recurring theme.

You can just see this lose coming in the first 2 minutes of the game.

The game plan was to get Tatum involved early. Tatum is a choker. White and Brown got us the win in game 1. Why go away from that. Let's give the ball to Tatum and let him dance with the ball for 14 seconds and then tack a step back 3.

This loss is on Joe for his terrible game plan and for Tatum.

The Celtics had a chance to open up the lead in the last 5 minutes of the 2nd quarter but they couldn't and allowed the Cavs back in the game. Tie game going into the halftime.

From their the Cavs took it to us. I shut off the game with 6 minutes into the 3rd quarter because I know this team and knew they weren't into playing. No effort, no heart.

I keep saying we need more from Jrue. He hasn't come up big when we have needed him. This was a game where we needed him with Tatum, Brown and Whit having bad games. Jrue needs to be more assertive at times.

Again, fallguy.

See lol.

We do it every **** year which is way more problematic.

Just more likely to happen to us since we play more playoff games than say the Bucks. If we lose in the 1st round every season that's only 2-3 home games per playoff, thus less chance of having a really bad loss.

Also the last 2 games were also terrible in terms of fans/atmosphere. Both games felt like a Wednesday game in December. Look at how into it the guys in MSG or OKC are. Not a proud Boston moment

Agreed. Been complete garbage.

Last year was way louder

[return2glory]

Spoiler:

80% of yall are either stupid, soft, or don’t know basketball.

Have fun.

Cut it out! You have better things to add.

Spoiler:

And you guys made this guy a mod at one point. That was shocking to me.

This is unnecessary, mind your own.

Hard for fans to get up for a team that loves to take games off in front of them.

I mean, they flat out quit in the fourth quarter but it's the home crowd's fault?

Nobody cares bud, go back to pretending to have inside info, because your basketball takes are honestly just abysmal.
