Cold Shooting Celts Can't Warm Up The Hawk Noodle Soup! Loss vs ATL 1/18

[bucknersrevenge]

We're a ways off from this happening and not trying to panic but at the end of the year, if we don't win it all again, there are a number of guys this team is gonna be justified in moving on from.

[fallguy]

Boston may not even get out of the first round. I think they will end up losing to Detroit, Miami Atlanta Indiana or whatever team is the sixth or seventh seed.

This team just has such a bad basketball IQ. Instead of holiday, taking a layup ending the game by putting them up by five he decides to do what?

I love Tatum, but he’s the last guy I want with the ball in his hands with the game on the line. If he’s not missing free throws, he’s taking some stupid 25 foot fall away that doesn’t even come close.

Joe liked that shot.

[Fierce1]

Joe says he's more excited at this point of the year than in the beginning of this season.. Joe says this is the fun part..

I’d fire him for this press conference alone. Guy lives in a different universe.

As long as the players continue to respect and listen to Joe, he's going nowhere.

It's not a fluke the Celtics won a championship with Joe as coach.

Last season even you doubted the Celtics winning a championship because of Joe.

Brad Steven went to 3 ECF and could never get to the Finals.

Spoelstra has gotten to the Finals twice and went to the ECF 3 times and yet Miami couldn't win a championship.

It has been proven that Joe is good enough.

The coach will only go as far as where the players take him.

Seriously, did Joe tell Jrue Holiday to throw the ball out of bounds with the Celtics leading by 3 points and Jrue is an 89% FT shooter?

Yeah, if they win it all - there will be real pressure to keep the team together.

If not, they'll be moving a core guy or more.

When you watch few minutes of Kornet dropping balls for no reason you start to forget how Queta is. This teams needs better bigs.

Luke was terrific for much of this game.

Queta is mostly clueless and the Hawks cooked him twice on high PnRs in OT.

He's a developmental guy destined for Europe. He's not a real player.

Luke was good on offense but defensively.I think you really need to rewatch this game.

I mean you guys seem to love joe and even he put luke to the bench.

Luke and Queta are 10 minute guys getting starter minutes and overtime burn because we decided to play both KP and Al yesterday for NO **** reason.

I would trade Joe for a whole bunch of other coaches. I most certainly do not love Joe.

Sam on the break tonight was kinda funny until we lost in OT. Either of those buckets would have been cool lol.

Holiday is the easy, easy choice here. Unless dude shows up in a big way in the playoffs, which I believe he will. But if he is THIS guy in the playoffs, you got to send him out without hesitation.

I looked at the salary cap situation.

If the Celtics don't go under the tax line next month, the Cs will surely move at least 2 big contracts if they want to keep the Jays together.

To go under the tax line next season, the Cs would have to move JB or trade Jrue and Sam.
That's what it takes to go under the tax line in 2025-26.

This team will win it all again
No way they lose a series to these guys

No KP, no Al. In the playoff Jrue won't throw the ball, but score it

I get the anger and disappointment, I am too (wake up at 2:00am to watch games - and get this crap), but it is what it is
They will get through it

Right now Hauser is hurting and hurting the team. Shut him down until he gets well. Brand need to get a replacement wing. Play more Walsh and Tillman.

If you see Holiday with the Celtics in the playoffs this season, that means the Celtics will have to move Jrue and Sam after the season or trade JB.

That's the only way to go under the tax line in 2025-26.

If the Celtics move Jrue at the trade deadline next month, the Cs would go under the tax line.

So the Celtics will be able to keep JT, JB, KP, White, PP, and Sam for 2025-26.

Spo took G league trash + Butler and Bam to the finals, beating Joe’s stacked squad on the way there btw.

Enough of **** now. We could have won a title with a traffic cone on the sidelines. Sick of this **** argument at this point. This guy sucks.

Luke should have played OT over Queta. He had a great game with 17pts, 6 offensive rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, 4 steals. Weird to sit him imo.

[GrandTheftRondo]

Brown was damn awful again.

9-27 yikes

[Green89]

Queta had no business playing crunch time minutes.

Luke was great on the offensive end.

But Luke was not doing well on the defensive end.

Luke only had 1 defensive rebound.

Joe had no choice.

Q was doing a decent job until he made that mistake of leaving Okongwu open and not getting the Jalen Johnson FT miss.

Thank you for that voice of reason. The fact that doc rivers was so bad for so many years and yet even he managed to win a title just proves the point. Winning a title can be done when you have a seriously good roster. How much more talent does Boston need to win the games that they are currently losing.

[fallguy]

Unless Luke was gassed or injured, it's insane to have Queta in during OT.

[Fierce1]

Queta had no business playing crunch time minutes.

Celtics prioritizing rest, by sitting both Al and KP, instead of going after a regular season win.

[ThePigeon]

This team has real issues in fastbreak situations of 2-1, 3-1. Too many times in the last stretch of games we blow these kind of opportunities and get a quick basket on the other side
Work on it
