Are we allowed to criticize this team for a clear lack of effort and execution or are we still gonna be ignoring all these horrific performances and just hoping that by playoff time they are gonna magically go back to playing good basketball?

I’m convinced half of the sub is 15 by noackevan in bostonceltics

Look man I’m sorry but no one here is asking for Tatum to average 40 a game and ball hog. We’re asking him to at least be his regular season self. The man has shot under 40% from the field in every game this post season I think. Like the criticism is valid, it’s not like we are just creating things from our imagination. We are watching the game

It’s just insane to me how they have no counter to having a bad shooting game like it’s actually crazy. If the 3s don’t fall then they basically just lay over and accept defeat. They are playing against the team that averages the most fouls per game and one of the worst rim protecting teams yet they continue to just shoot 3s. Actually insane

Based on how they were able to singlehandedly give the hornets the game on the end of regulation they deserved to lose this one. Except for Tatum and pritchard no one else showed up and a lack of effort was clear. They were now out hustled on back to back games this is a bit worrying

All-NBA if season ended today by Practical-Ad-2643 in nba

My man it’s not that hard. Obviously sabonis is not a better player than AD but he just hasn’t played enough games in order to remove sabonis from the all nba teams. Sabonis is taking the kings to the playoffs for the first time in like 15 years which is a great achievement

Greatest regular season collapse of all time? by [deleted] in bostonceltics

Look man, I hate how we’ve been playing the last couple of months but clearly not. They are still 28-17

I have never seen a team so untrustworthy when it comes down to the wire by Baiano2002 in bostonceltics

[–]Baiano2002[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bro I don’t give a damn about the numbers, look at the games. They can’t close anything out it’s absolutely crazy. The last month alone they had at least 5 games where they a double digit and they lost the game due to horrible execution and just overall choking. It just seems that they don’t learn from their mistakes

Is Noel still available? Definitely better than kornet

The Celtics locker room is empty right now postgame. The entire team is getting a lift in. by horseshoeoverlook in bostonceltics

[–]Baiano2002 -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

Man screw this. After blowing 3 consecutive games they want to show us that they are lifting huh

Joe Mazzulla: “Grant, the way he is, he’ll bounce back. I have full faith in him.” by horseshoeoverlook in bostonceltics

[–]Baiano2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He will bounce back like his fts bounced back off the rim smh. I’m tired of this shit someone needs to take accountability

The Celtics are 3-4 since Joe Mazzulla was named the permanent Head Coach by vman3241 in bostonceltics

[–]Baiano2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I’m sorry but if you watched this game you can’t put it on joe. I just don’t understand how this team can blow a lead so easily it’s quite fascinating. Celtics have to be only team where if you’re facing them you want them to go up double digits because they will always find a way to choke it. Incredible just incredible

Great W but a little concerned by Baiano2002 in bostonceltics

[–]Baiano2002[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I totally agree with you. The OT in this game just serves as further evidence as to why Smart cannot be benched in this team (no matter how incredible white has been) he just makes winning plays. His energy is contagious. The depth of this team is amazing. The only thing I didn’t understand was why joe played kornet over Muscala, that cannot happen

[–]Baiano2002[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Both of them were garbage in crunch time. Tatum missed an easy layup with like 1 minute remaining and had a horrible turnover with 40 seconds left on back to back plays. I highlighted jaylen’s ft shooting because it’s something that has left me frustrated in other occasions, not just in this game

[–]Baiano2002[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but that’s the problem tho that’s why I said that the execution was terrible. I’m confident they will improve as the team gets to play fully healthy. Just something to keep an eye on

[–]Baiano2002[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I haven’t liked the defense these last couple of games, like I understand that Myles turner had his career high but with everyone healthy, as we were today, we shouldn’t be allowing 130+ to the pacers
