We revert to hero ball when we're losing tough games and it never works

How did no one caught fire for an entire game? Haven’t seen two buckets in a row from anyone

How long will it take until they realise Joe Mazzulla can't be the head coach of a title contender?

Stop blaming the refs. We’d be closer if JB weren’t bricking every single layup

we'd also be further behind if he didnt keep us going in the first. wasn't terrible in the 2nd. horror the rest of the way.

Team as a whole is just soft. Get physical with them and they wilt.

You cannot be an MVP with his lack of assists.

JB's passing from last game to this is something else :lol:

You know the refs have their finger on the scale when they go to the lane violation

My thoughts exactly. I want this team to win, like all of us, but the hot and cold bipolar offense and how they react to teams that give any effort is just a huge question mark.

Your green teamers will come to tell you the regular season doesn’t matter, but the glasses aren’t just tinted green, they blacked out if you can’t see the holes with how this offense operates.

Yeah same. Been disappointing as of late.

Game was lost when they allowed 17-0 run. Real coach sees his team have 3 bad possessions in a row. Timeout. Draws a play. Gets an easy bucket. Stop the momentum. Joe is just watching and hoping talent wins on its own.

This offense will not work in the playoffs. You can't just iso while 4 guys are watching.

We are losing because we gave away points on layups, free throws and in blown transition opportunities. It's not a character issue but a skill issue.

ThePigeon · Post #596 » by **ThePigeon** » Fri Nov 24, 2023 9:50 pm

ORL are manhandling our players. They play physical and hack and beat on every possession.
This bother us a lot and the refs just let them away with it
Too many misses around the basket and waiting for the refs to bails us

Magic has our number from last year. This is not a fluke

We’ve turned into the worse free throw shooting team.

When does his contract expire?

Celts17Pride · Post #599 » by **Celts17Pride** » Fri Nov 24, 2023 9:51 pm

Mind boggling to me how a physical player like Lamar Stevens doesn’t get 1 minutes in a game like this for the Celtics. Especially with the Celtics undermanned
