What the craptor you guys that was another AOS-worthy performance yikes!

The defense sucked and KP and PP were the only guys who could make a shot and I don't even really want to talk about it!

Magic Friday, Go C's!

Good, that needed to be a loss.

Jaylen Browns garbage contract may not make it past customs.
[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]

The defensive effort is disgusting.

Jaylen Brown was a complete disgrace out there. Playing like a guy playing like a dude messing around at a gym with his pals not bothering to play any defence and then with complete tunnel vision offensively.

Team is playing very arrogant ball right now. Just seems to assume they’ll win because they were so good last year.

Terrible attitude.

Where’s the locked in defence? The ball movement? The patience offensively?

Right now offensively it’s a bunch of dudes thinking they can hero ball the team to victory.

The basketball gods will reward a team who brings it night in and night out with the LOB in June. Congrats to them. On the bright side, at least our guys seem satisfied with just one ring so they won't be too broken up over it.

What is the definition of Insanity???

Do I have to say it??

Meanwhile If everyone is in a slump, maybe it's time to look at the Coach. Lack of motivation, innovation, adaptability or accountability.

You may pick more than one answer.

They must be thinking, if Larry, McHale, and Parish, and Pierce, KG, and Ray couldn't do it, why should we? :lol:

Awful defense and just ugly offensive ball.
We’re basically .500 over this recent stretch. Is this rock bottom? Are we ready to turn this ship around?
Hope so. And what’s wrong with Derrick White, he’s just a turd out there. -29 tonight for DWhite

The shots will fall but the defensive effort is a joke.

They made the Raptors look like this completely unguardable bunch of all stars anytime they ran a pick and roll. WTF?

The Celtics are a .500 team.

Either accept it or wait until next season because Brad will not make any drastic changes this season.

The decision to breakup the core, to go under the apron, would be easier if the Celtics fail in the playoffs.

Tatum lol. Keep chucking 3’s JT. That’s why they call you softest superstar in the league.

Tatum was -1 in 36 minutes.
Garbage time was +1 over 1 minute.

So the 13 point loss was all in the other 11 minutes.

Celtics haven’t been good in a month and a half.

Should they make a move or stick with what worked last year? Thats the million dollar question. I’m leaning toward making a move but the CBA makes it tough. Walker should be brought back asap to see if he makes a difference but I don’t think he’s what we really need. Jaylen needs to step up. Defense (team wide) needs to be better.

League is too talented to build up horrendous habits, go month long stretches of .500 play, and blow game after game during our healthiest stretch and expect to come out of it with a title. And we're definitely not good enough to flip a switch.

I don't think Celtics can turn it around any time soon.

Maybe the earliest would be after the ASB.

Remember, rock bottom has a basement. :lol:

He's actually been looking for teammates more: 4.8 assists per game vs 3.6 last season.

Sooner or later the lack of defense was going to catch up with these Celtics.
