The Knicks Nightmare Continues! R2G2 Loss vs NYK 5/7 (NYK leads 2-0)

[phincsfan]

Mazzulla just said he didn’t call a timeout because they choose to “run the exact same play” with Tatum just driving to the rum and was surprised the Knicks just “defended it better”

The idiocy is astounding.

Are you making this up? Or did he actually say that?

He 100% said that and he mumbled the whole way through it

[Green89]

We could have went up 22 on a Brown and Tatum two on 1, where they threw the ball away. They looked at each other with a "no big deal, my bad" casual look. They needed to be pissed and fired up about that turnover. No killer instinct when it matters. You don't relent up by 20. You crush your opponent. They relaxed. That's on Joe, too. He should have screamed at them after that turnover.

Nah...Tatum was laughing while Jaylen was pissed.

Didn't see that, but Brown's back was to the camera. Mr. Softee was definitely smirking though.

Completely sick of Derrick White jacking 10 deep threes a game

[Fierce1]

Lets channel those 94 & 95 rockets vibes!!!

Cs will win Game 3.

The question is Game 4.

Everyone said that about game 2

Maybe the others, but I really didn't say much about Game 2 because I was worried, especially when I saw that post of zoya saying no defending champ has gone past the 2nd round since 2020.

The biggest chance the Cs lose this series is if NY goes up 2-0 and NY did just that.

He literally just said it in his press conference their airing on NBC Sports Boston.

I wish I was joking.

He's utterly useless.

Tatum is not reliable as a number one option. Running it back with this team cannot happen next year. Brad needs to offer Cookies & Cream for the Greek Freak.

[Celts17Pride]

People need to stop with the dumb narrative that the Celtics can just win with Tatum and some good role players. Tatum just isn’t that guy.

[colincb]

Joe underperformed in every series in his first year, and we're probably getting ousted in this series, too, as the defending champions in a huge upset. I thought the injuries were going to catch up with us anyway, but we need a new coach who's not a one-trick pony.

Lol

Somehow even more historically soft than game 1.

It probably is dawning on him that he'll most likely be fired after this series if we lose.

[phincsfan]

I’m telling you right now that locker room is over KP and it has spilled onto the court.

He will definitely not be a Celtic next season.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Joe should be fired if we get eliminated by the Knicks. This team is mentally and physically soft. We do nothing but chucking 3s on the offense. We never call timely timeouts. These are all on Mazzulla. Get rid of him if we fall to this Knicks team.

[1st banana]

Now I have to simmer for almost 3 **** days and wait for a **** day game so totally ruins my Saturday.

All this stress just for the Celtics to win in 6

[NYCelticsfan136]

I was right about this team all season. Very unlikeable. They had alot of terrible shooting performances as well. It’s like they don’t know how to shoot. Even when they’re opened. This group migjt have a won a title but they’re unforgettable. Tatum has really ruined his reputation even more as a player.

This should've been an AOS thread.

How is it not? Two straight games of 20 pt blown leads??

Tatum had the worst body language I’ve seen right from the tip.

[itrsteve]

We f’d up one game and then watched the same exact one unfold.

We’re toast.

But better to get it out of the way early and blow it up. Glad we got one

Get real. Let’s see them win a game first. If this team goes away quietly they need to do something drastic in the off-season. These losers have no heart and toughness. Look at the warriors with that championship pedigree even older yet competing tough out there.

[Riverwalk2021]

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

It's tough because it's clear you cannot pay two players in the NBA $50M per season going forward. I do think they need a better coach that forces the team to play a more disciplined style. I think KP is gone and so is Mazzulla, and they hope improved coaching results in a better disciplined team.
