KP Sucked, absolutely brutal
Hauser sucked on both ends of the floor
Too many low % shots from Tatum in the 2nd half
Poor coaching

Will be easier to trade him
I like him but he should produce in the playoffs. At least get a punk who could defend and punch some

If KP is gonna be a complete bum, now is the time. I'm not gonna judge him off the early playoff games against teams we know we are gonna beat. If he does this later though when we need him most I'm gonna be pissed. I haven't lost my faith in him though.

Jrue was missed Bigtime. His calm demeanor and his Make KEY/BIG plays was missed Bigtime. Oh and his defense.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Joe needs to shorten the rotation and remove Hauser altogether. He adds nothing. Poor coaching all game. He is lucky he has a good team.

Even still, wtf are you doing Joe? How you gonna watch the magic score 15 straight points and just sit there with your dick in your hands?

What are we doing here. Where was the push back on the god damn clock?

PATHETIC


Derrick White played well, especially considering the hits he took over the course of the game.

I remarked several times over the season that the Celtics needed a playoff scorer. It was my biggest fear, they really need to address this issue in the Draft. Or they should have used Baylor sooner, so that he could have actually contributed during the playoffs...

Orlando deserved the win, but another poorly officiated and over zealous called game.

Why isn't Queta playing in this series, we needed him tonight.

They can't look at the replay, but they could have decided to add a few to the clock and they didn't.

Magic offense is mediocre.

The 2nd chances will generate additional offense for them.

Queta would have been great in hindsight.

I may be alone but I’m happy for this loss. These guys needed an early gut check. Scraping out a last min win would have masked sloppy play all night and bad discipline would have creeped into a more critical game. Turnovers murdered us long before the “refs” did

Tatum was incredible as normal, But the others needed a gut check for sure
[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]

C’s looked soft as fk tonight. KP, Hauser, PP terribleeeeee….. Joe refuses to bench Hauser and roll the dice on another role player wtf. Celts continue to get hacked / bullied and are out of sync. Physicality has been a problem and we can’t seem to move the ball on offense. Just a bad loss, onto Sunday!

If I see Sam Hauser play another minute this series that isn’t when the Celtics are up 25 I’m gonna lose it. Joe better get his **** straight because our offense has been cheeks and clearly the 3 point taking and making isn’t working so far these playoffs.

Ain't he the guy who walked the ball down, never passed it and then proceeded to air ball a 3?

I love white. He was bad.

Hauser struggling with the physicality.

We didn't lose the game on defense. They didn't crack 100 again
We lost it with our poor execution and TOs
93 points is pathetic for this kind of talent

Just be a man, take the punches they handing us on defense and play harder and smarter. Play faster. OKC would have won by 40 each game because they go on a fast break or transition baskets every time
We play slow, let them settle, hack and push which makes our job harder
