Celts Shoot Bricks, Lose To Knicks! R2G1 Loss vs NYK 5/5 (NYK leads 1-0)

[NYCelticsfan136]

Scal was on point. They ran 1 action and chucked a 3 when it failed. Lack of ball movement, lack of coaching adjustments. Loss of KP really seemed to throw Joe off.

Why do you keep taking 3s if you’re missing them? This team lost their balance in one year. Last year much more balanced and took more 2 pointers.

You want to know what the most bothersome thing is?

Every playoff game, the networks will always throw some kind of graphic up showing just how much playoff experience Tatum and Brown have.

You would think with all that experience, they'd have learned lessons along the way.Yet they constantly show us that they've learned nothing.

With all that experience, where's the veteran savvy at? They have none.

Very disappointing and troublesome.

15 from 60 at the three point line is disqusting! Most playoff 3 pt misses ever….making history on an ultimate choke job night giving up a 31-11 run. Def a gut punch, haven’t felt that since the Warriors smoked cigars on our court! Have some humble pie, what you going to do? You going to go back to back or just be another 1 and done?!?!?!

I know if they take over 50 3 point attempts again they might lose. They also need porzingis. They need him yo step up.

[MaxwellSmart]

Celtics got all the calls too....and blew a 20 point lead by effing around.

[Ben-N1ce]

Tatum couldn't or didn't try to get by Brunson or Mitchell Robinson. That is pathetic.

Joe has never ever shown me good In-game adjustment at any reasonably rate.

I make this claim all the time, and all I hear is I am a (coach) Hater. Scal said it. Too bad the rest of the suck ass Media won't.

I loved KP last season but man all this is getting old fast. Missed a lot of games random moments he’s out for the game so we are down to Al and Luke. Guys like Al and Jrue are getting older and we need his offense but he’s just not there or doing anything on the court these playoffs.

JT it felt like he was taking another step but then decided to do the old Tatum just straight up chucking threes. No aggression or anything. Brown looked bad when he was forced to shoot. Really disappointed in white settling for so much threes. He’s the one that usually calms this team and making the right play by sometimes driving and making things happen. Holiday some of his shots were just like wtf dude. Like no need to take those in critical moments. Not criticizing anyone on defense since they all did well for the most part but that’s the worst offense I’ve seen the Celtics play in forever. It was a damn shame to throw the game away like this. Reminds me a lot of the 2023 season against the Heat in the playoffs at home where we had big leads in games 1 and 2 and then blew it. Embarrassing Celtics

[NYCelticsfan136]

If they don’t come out and win by 20 in game 2 it will be disappointing. They should be disgusted and angry. They build a fortress with all them bricks.

He needs to toughen up and play in game 2. Need his scoring. He’s working his way out of Boston.

Nothing’s gonna change with this team meaning the game plan will be the same.

Hopefully, they actually hit their threes next game

I do hope it’s under 50 3 point attempts but i am not holding my breath.

He just said he liked the shot selection.

Throw this man off the bus.

To be fair, they had a LOT of wide open shots at 3, we just didn’t make them

[Green89]

Tatum is getting scorched on social media. Lots of Harden comparisons, both in failing in the clutch and how he took that ridiculously stupid step back three when the game was tied.

But why keep taking them if you’re missing them. That’s brain dead basketball.

News flash, Porzingis was clearly not healthy

When is he?

His shot selection is terrible. He hasn’t developed any type of post up game. He’s a 3 point guy and that’s it.

[ThePigeon]

Karma is a bitch
Hack a Mitchell bites our ass. This is not basketball
And shooting too many contested 3s and missing most of them

We lost the margins when the game was on the line. Too many offensive rebounds, too many TOs, too many points in transition conceded, too many players left open for 3 and really poor and dumb shot selection
No out of TO plays whatsoever. Disappointing after the good ones against ORL

[Celts17Pride]

Just about every Celtics player played like crap. I mean twice Jrue Holiday got an offensive rebound (Great) then proceeded to take an off balance three point shot with 12 seconds left on the shot clock (Bad). Celtics heads were just not into the game. Maybe they spent too much time reading how great they were.

It’s a shame his go to move is a step back three. He’s shown flashes of his midrange since his rookie season but it’s never used in the clutch. Some of his threes were just way off. Like I said, he literally had like 5 chances to close the game and bricked them all. He should get heat for the player he is.

Law of averages, you always take the wide open shots, I won’t be surprised when we win a game by 30 because of them… this is just an unfortunate time that we went ice cold
