I thought Joe Mazz was too soft/buddy buddy with the players ? That's that the 'experts' tell me lol


He said that with a soft buddy buddy voice. Lol

Adrian Griffin learned the hard way that if you're not buddy buddy with the players, you get fired.

JB Bickerstaff recently with the Cavs too (recent reports suggested he had a massive falling out with Donovan Mitchell)

He had those moments in the regular season but now can’t even hit 1 three. People want to talk about how stacked the Celtics are and all that super team stuff but lately they’re playing without a bench and missing a 20 ppg starting center so **** isn’t that easy like everyone expects

The good news is Hauser is at an all-time low right now, so there's no other way but up.


Nah. I think he should rest, and get ready for training camp. Lol

Celtics are now 11-2 in this year's playoffs.

It's just impossible that an .846 playoff record totally has no connection to the coaching.

While everybody agrees that Joe is nowhere near a great coach, it's also a fact that he's nowhere near as the worst.

True.

I read a report where Koby Altman criticized Bickerstaff in front of his coaching staff because Bickerstaff played Donovan too many minutes.

Great win. It allows me to not stress out regardless of win or lose in Game 4, I can put a positive spin on a loss at this point.

Lol at posters thinking they're smarter than Brad Stevens. Yeah I'd like to see this team shoot less threes but Mazzulla isn't a bad coach.

ECF MVP going to be a tight race. JT may come along and steal it at the last minute.
Handsome.

Wonder if Wyc wants to go the Warriors way and lose the next game to get a third home game. Those 2nd apron tax bills don't pay themselves :lol:

It's a tough read, Boston's talent level is godly and the injury luck we have had is pretty significant. Coach probably doesn't need to be great to get those results, just not a hindrance.

Not sure if it's been said but when the score was 103-109, Tatum took the 3 with zero hesitation. He knew he had to make that 3. Cold blooded.

Not sure if anyone agrees but I think the injection of Tillman really strengthened our defence.

His physicality and strength were an issue for Turner and it felt like their big guys stopped getting inside so easy.

That's the not too high, not too low mentality.

Even that 3 in Game 1, with 42 ticks left, was cold blooded.

That was the only 3 he made in Game 1 and it was the dagger.
