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

[Green89]

Yep, Joe's fault that Tatum's 12-42 in this series. *rolls eyes*

What was Joe's game plan when the threes aren't falling? What was Plan B on the last play if Tatum drove and didn't have a lane? These issues are completely on the coach.

Imagine not even getting a shot off. Tatum can’t really create for himself. All he knowsnis take that step back 3. That would have been an easy mid range for other stars being guarded by mitchel robinson. A little bump and forearm push, that would have been a wide open jumper. All the criticisms of JT are justified. Steve Kerr must be laughing his heart out. Not even a little mamba mentality

[NYCelticsfan136]

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.

If we get swept he should be fired!!! I don’t care about last year. Right now that looks fraudulent. Also drastic chances to the roster.

Tatum’s choking. Looking like harden. Also we need to trade Porzingis

[doogie_hauser]

Lakers got tossed in round 1 in humiliating fashion. That's my one coping mechanism right now.

Should get Jerry of the day to sponsor the team then we can have Celtics merch that says huck and pray

Tatum's star status is completely taking a nose dive. It may never recover if we lose this series.

Idk if he’s slow footed or he has horrible handles or whatnot. Was pierce a better athlete or where they the same?

It's premature to say the series is over.

I will give the Cs the benefit of the doubt until Game 3 and maybe Game 4.

If the Cs can get this back to Boston at 2-2, it will be a different series.

The alternative is being negative and thinking of all the bad things that's happening is just not good for the health.

Every main rotational player played at least 60 games plus the postseason. These guys see that and notice one guy not pulling his weight. That **** wears on you over time. Especially when he’s getting paid 30+mil.

KP is a goner for sure. But the damage may already be done.

[ThePigeon]

I just wish this team's era will end. I don't think they win it all
Watching IND, OKC, DEN - they play a brand of basketball that is fun to watch
Running, passing, cutting, fast breaks, hustle defense
This team is slow, high P&R, isolation, play slow, jack 3s. Playing like old unathletic team

Thank you for the championship, but man, it looks like watching pulling out my teeth

Its on the coach and your star player!
Joe doesn’t have any plays on his bag. What’s worse is you let your star player take us home and create, but your star player doesn’t have anything in his bag as well. No moves at all.

[PierceFan4ever]

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.

Looks that way. I haven’t been impressed by his offense since 2023. It feels like he’s gotten a lot slower since the 2022 finals run. He almost never sprints up the court on offense or defense. And really Tatum has no bag besides shoot threes or drive all the way in. His midrange is not there at all, if he ever makes one it looks difficult. Hell Devin Booker can make midrange shots look easy and he’s smaller.

So disappointing what he’s shown this series. If he played a C game, the Celtics would be up 2-0 instead it’s an F

[King Of The 4th]

Joe Mazzula might have the worst game sense of any Boston coach I've ever seen in my life. How you can watch a team not score for 6 straight minutes and then come to the conclusion that they don't need a time out to gameplan for the final shot? Basketball mispractice

Just not good enough. Tatum only has a share of the blame, Brown, KP, Mazzulla, all of the Celtics share equal blame

[GreenBloodedC]

Series not over but OMG this is pathetic

[snowman]

My problem with Tatum this series has been he is making NY switch Brunson on him. So he is 6'8 going at a 6'2 defender and he decides to shoot a step back fall away jump shot. Grow a pair and spin toward the rim. Same with Porzingis. You're the tallest player on the court and usually have a MUCH smaller player switched to you on defense. Instead of doing so much spinning around, letting the help defense come. just rise up and shoot over the top as soon as your catch it, especially if you're in the paint. Just not smart basketball.

[NYCelticsfan136]

Tatum was 4 for 14 from 2 point range. This guy’s season is nothing like last year.
