I’m sorry but there is no scenario where I’m bringing back Holiday and Porzingis next year if I’m Brad Stevens. Trade them for peanuts

The whole Bench should get in this Game.
A whole Qtr and a half.

You don’t remember Kyrie’s final season here when him and Rozier were pretty much ripping apart the locker room and both decided to pout and no show vs Milwaukee?

Or when Kyrie called Boston racist and stomped on the Leprechaun

Or when the Celtics choked twice to Miami?

Yeah it’s disappointing but hardly the worst way they’ve gone out.


That Kyrie year we were not meant to beat Milwaukee. They were the favorites. The entire season was **** awful.

The Leprechaun stomp we were Tatum and a bunch of ****. First round exit. Terrible squad.

Miami season maybe but they didn’t get humiliated in the 2nd round. They lost in game 7 of the ECf. Denver wass heavy favorites that year.

This is a 60 win team losing by 40 in game 6 of the semis. The championship favorite. Terrible.


This isn’t the roster of a 60 win team though. They don’t have Tatum and a healthy KP. Those teams that lost to Miami had their squad intact for the most part.

I really thought that Tillman was gonna be a key part of the team this year with a full training camp...Dude can't even get off the bench in a 40 point blowout in the playoffs. What a disappointment.

This season sucks but are we just going to ignore some of the circumstances?

Porzingis has been a COMPLETE zero the entire series. He was one of our best players in several games against NY the last two years.

Tatum was probably dealing with a fractured wrist prior to the Achilles.

Brown’s knee clearly needs to be repaired.

Holiday’s finger injury is a months long one that clearly never healed and then he strained his hamstring.

This is why it is so damn hard to repeat in the NBA. So much luck needs to go your way.

We had some luck last year. We didn’t this year.

We wouldn’t have won 60 games with this version of Holiday, Brown and Porzingis

Let's see what Brad can do WITHOUT the stockpile that Ainge refused to use that he was left with.


Everyone all of a sudden forgets how **** this team was in Ainge’s last year. Brad made the Kemba for Horford deal that jump started all of this. He built around players here that’s true but he succeeded where Danny failed. People need to get a grip on this. Most of this team will be back. Yeah probably not KP unless he signs cheap and probably not Jrue or Hauser. Maybe not even Luke or Al. But JB will be back. White will be. PP will be. Another year for Baylor another year for Walsh and JD. Tatum will be back at some point and they’ll have another crack at it.

Brad will get another solid piece for this team that no one is expecting.


He used Ainge stockpile my guy. Are you ok?

Let's not forget these series and remember what happened vs this Knick team. Unsure what kind of team we'll have next year, but whichever remaining Celtics stay, never forget these series and seek deep, pain inflicted revenge.

As far as this team, hopefully we are in that top 5 spot in the East next year. This team will look a lot different next year.

I called blowout and i was right. I had doubts about white. We only have one scoring option and that’s it.

Very **** ending to this season. It’s hard to go from potential champs to getting blown out. Yes we were shorthanded but I really expected more fight tonight. I guess not losing game 5 at home was all we really wanted to accomplish. So many bad things happened but in the end our one trick offense didn't hold up snd our vaunted bench really wasn't very good.

Whatever happened to Tillman. Why did he become unplayable this season?
