This is why we can't have nice things.

That was the worst coaching 5 minute stand from Joe in all the playoffs.. We have them on the rope he leaves Pritchard and they make a run he doesn't call time out and take out pp

That is a firable offense of stupidity..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

It’s not even slow down. It’s just dumb plays. Awful shot selection.

That bull crap is on Mazzula. Why is Pritchard the main ball handler 3 straight possessions and defending luka on other end. No sense. Then dont call a timeout when they get 2 straight buckets and crowd gets going. Then they score again and we still dont call a timeout. So dumb man. Fumbling

No flex zone

They know better
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

This is how they got into trouble in G2… but now there’s all the time in the world left. I can’t believe it. This is on Joe and PP for not subbing his own ass out

You lose this game and it is on the coach

Allowed that run to go entirely to long, you had a chance to close it and you just kept Pritchard out there getting abused
