Another rebuild is approaching quickly. The heart of the team, Jrue and Al won't be around much longer. JB should have picked a different sport and JT is the biggest fraud in the NBA until he proves otherwise.

Time for Brad to pull a Danny Ainge and unload everyone for picks. Also - send Joe packing. This is a disgusting brand of basketball.

Why do people want to trade Brown? At least he shows Balls unlike Tatum.

We were good enough to overcome Mazzulla last year. Not this year. He had NOTHING out there all night. Completely over his head.

Joe Mazzulla is gonna have two massive upset losses against inferior teams in three years on his resume. The one year he won the title, we had a major talent advantage over everyone and played injured teams on top of it. Get this dude off my team. Complete joke of a head coach.

Jayson Tatum coming up small important Playoff games in year 8 after the ridiculous amount of experience he has is embarrassing. It is a personality/mental make up thing at this point. Either way, what a failure all around by the defending champions lol

Poor coaching by a stubborn guy. Again and again.

This loss is solely on Joe. I thought the fourth quarter was absolutely terrible. The one time he actually drew up a play, we scored — but then he holds onto his timeout on the next possession, and we end up with a bad shot.

He also waited way too long to bring Tatum back in during the fourth, and didn’t even play KP in the final 4 minutes with Horford who looked gassed.

Oh and good job fouling Mitchell putting them almost in the bonus giving us 0 margin for error and Jrue fouled.

And when you’re up 20, stop chucking 3’s. Slow the game down, pound the ball inside. This isn’t some profound insight. Basic ****. But Mazulla ball and math yay! :roll:

That shouldn't happen.
But if it does.

Good coaches know how to defeat the 3 point game plan of Joe Mazzulla. Last year, team's didn't have the personnel to stop it. This year, with a good coach and defensive players, it's showing you why Joe is a one trick pony, and if it fails, he has NOTHING else planned.

F this team.
They are uncoachable, Joe sux or simply doenst liste what hes saying.
Another blow 20 point lead in 4.
Atleast KP woke up from his sickness for few minutes and then we went scoreless for like 7 minutes

No one is going to overpay for Brown. A few teams may overpay for Tatum and think they can make him a superstar.

No one here should ever complain about Tatum's standing in any MVP race or ever compare him to any of the past Celtics greats ever again.

Dude is nowhere near a superstar. Just an above average player in today's NBA. Nothing great about him.

Joe Mazulla is lost as a coach. I wouldn't let him coach a 4th grade team.

Cite all the playoff experience for Brown and Tatum you want but it's clear they've learned nothing from it. Same mistakes over and over.

Obviously something is going on with KP.... He looked horrible on the bench.... Like he had played the whole game... I truly believe he is doing all he can.
