The game literally ended the same exact way two games in a row.

Chucking 3’s. 20 point lead. Blown. No timeout. Bridges prevents a last second shot.

Absolutely disgraceful.

JT has shrunk in the moment no doubt. But absolutely brutal coaching these 1st two games. I still think they can win the series but seems very unlikely they do much more than that. Team is lost when 3s don't fall.

There's really something to that narrative that no defending champ has gone past the 2nd round since 2020.

The league didn’t make Tatum play like horse crap these last 2 games.


No but they ignored a clear foul to D White on the tip which gave the Knicks a critical 4 point swing and they gave Brunson undeserved free throws to win it.

Series over. Pathetic they missed like 14 shots in a row. Guess they can shot that poorly two games in a row.

How does Joe not call a time out?? Seriously Tatum fadeaway over three people was the shot???

Again folks - JT spent 80% of the night standing on the wing watching. He was sick and playing through it or that's what Joe wanted.

If it's the latter it's coaching malpractice at the highest **** level.

Trade everyone and fire Joe. If Brad doesn't do it, fire Brad.

Cue a Capt Caveman post right about now, with a "Joe's not the guy in close games". He was saying it for years.

It looks bad, but until Knicks get to 3 wins, this is not over.

Cs bad shooting in the 4th qtr. of both Games 1 and 2 doomed them.

A well deserved Celtic loss tonight.

Celtics 10-40 from 3, Knicks 9-31

Celtics 34-94 Overall, Knicks 37-86

Proof that the Celtics shot like sh*t

And Kornet's missed Q1 drop from above the rim that he should have dunked, and Holiday's chippy early in Q3 (was it Q3), and some poor judgement shots by Tatum, Brown and too far chucks from Pritch, and lame-O ball handling / offensive flailings by Zinger - well, it was disgusting to watch. Lots of shots lacked proper visualization of does this make sense? Do one of my teammates have a better look if I pass? Too many brain farts tonight.

Celtics had 5 more Free Throws so I don't know if you can say can't blame the refs because there were 2 kicked balls that the Knicks recovered that the refs didn't call (both in Q4).

And a lot of the sh*tty offense is on the Headless Coachman.

Owner needs to force Brad to fire Joe if we lose this, and fire Brad if he doesn't. 100% agree.

ASS OF SHAME X 1 billion.
2 consecutive games w 20 point leads w 4 minutes to play in Q3.
Total & utter collapse.
This is the most disgusting display I have seen by the Boston Celtics during the many many decades I have been a Celtics fan.
I am done watching the playoffs.

**** EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
THEY ARE NOT WORTH 1 ADDITIONAL MOMENT OF MY TIME.

He's a system coach with a great system and nothing to turn to when it's not working.
