Critics Agree: That Sequel Sucked! Loss vs IND 12/29
Lame you guys we lost the big dumb game that was stupid!
I dunno man. Pacers played a lot better tonight, obviously. And Celts did a poor job stopping their march to the rim all night. Way too many paint points for Indy. But I thought the C's played pretty well in other areas and I guess I wasn't super mad about our performance overall... until the 4th quarter and we just started doing weird bonehead stuff and let go of the rope. Unpleasant!
Losing games sucks you guys ugh. Let's stop doing that imo. And can we plz has KP and Jrue back now k thx. I want big fun win times!
Early game vs Raps on Tuesday, Go C's!

Joe Mazzulla has the highest winning percentage by a coach, winning 73.5 percent of the time.

It's true defense is a problem this season.
Not having Jrue has magnified White's inability to stay in front of his man.
White is the weak link on defense.
He gets blown by easily and when he's matched up with a big, the big scores easily on White.
The blocks are great, but White is just not solid when it comes to man to man defense.

Re: Critics Agree: That Sequel Sucked! Loss vs IND 12/29
The biggest problems we have in order:
1-KP being so injury prone
2-Jrue being out throws off the balance of this team on both ends
3-Horford aging in dog years
4-Mazzulla's lack of adjustments

Re: Critics Agree: That Sequel Sucked! Loss vs IND 12/29
Winning a championship is very hard and repeating is even harder. We can.
Not just do the status quo and stay the same.
And our issue is far worse than just the turn on switch proclamation.
Brad. Needs to step in and save us.

Re: Critics Agree: That Sequel Sucked! Loss vs IND 12/29
I literally have to bite my tongue not to evade the swear filter..
Some worrying signs tonight, how Newbhard manage to phase Tatum out of his usual rhythm and driving in the paint being amongst them.
Jaylen and PP tried hard
Need Jrue back ASAP
Glad Walsh keeps getting solid minutes (it will pay off later down the track)
Indy deserved the win.
Refs continue to annoy the heck out of me.
I wish i could say I am not angry at the Celtics, just disappointed but I would be lying.
Bring on the new year!

They can handle it.
Only Al is old.
The Jays are not even close to 30 years old yet.
Celtics are missing 2 starters for 2 games now.
Only natural the Jays would get extended minutes.
The Celtics are being very cautious with every minor injury.
Both Jrue and KP would have played if this were a playoff game.

Re: Critics Agree: That Sequel Sucked! Loss vs IND 12/29
I know they were missing two starters, but there’s something off with this team this year especially at home. The defense is absolutely atrocious.
The way the Celtics are playing within the next two weeks the Knicks will pass them for second place.

See 1 and 2. Jrue QB'd our defense and his defensive versatility is a big missing component.

Quick name me another coach in history.That took over for a team that literally was a game or two from a title.
Literally Joe inherented the most talented team in the league and brad actually made it better.
God forbid if joe had a coach a team with equal or less talent.
