Celtics/NBA 2023-2024 NBA Finals begin June 6th at TD Garden - CELTICS vs Dallas

Might want to mix in some defense when the opposition is without its best player

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Brown and Tatum need to step it up on D.

Horford is usually a good defender but they’ve scouted how to attack him. Go to Kornet 2H. Need to go inside Horford shooting threes isn’t going to get us easy inside buckets.


Would have been a good one to have Porzingas available for if he’s healed. Let’s see if Mazzula can get them focused for the second half.

Losing by 12 to a Haliburton free Pacers is peak Celtics

no Kornet, Brad

11, 30 & 12 finish the last 4 minutes of the 1st quarter, not really ideal...

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

It's classic Ewing Theory.

Wow are they really gonna blow this game. Just tuned in.

Not funny

 

[Johnnyduke]

TJ McConnell taunting us like he's Luka Doncic

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Shouldn't the Celtics be running all over this team and defense?

 

[BernieMcAvoy]

Doesn't matter if you have Marcus Smart or Jrue Holiday. Doesn't matter if you have Porzingis or Rob Williams or either of them are injured. Doesn't matter if both Brown and Tatum play.


Joe Mazzulla can't coach defense and any good offense that isn't heavy on post action exposes it. This is a new low though. Pacers without their all nba point guard and they're still getting cooked. Pacers are shooting 55% for the entire series currently.


The offense at least is still giving them a chance if they can remember what defense is at some point tonight.

 

[Lord Ahriman]

Refs are doing whatever they can to help Indiana.

5th best defense in the league, yall just yap every time they start losing 1 in every 5 games. They weren’t playing hard. Notice the D now that they’re playing hard.

 

[Johnny Dangles]

Honestly. If you’re watching this game and blaming anyone other than the refs then I don’t know what to tell you.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Going back up to 20 if we don’t get Houser out.

I do yap but teams hunt weaknesses way more in the playoffs.


That Atlanta series after Game 2 last year was just like this. They had to outscore the problems they were having on defense. This game should be a blowout without Haliburton.

 

[CDJ]

Officiating is terrible

 

[LucicIsABeast]

I yell at the tv watching Boston sports and my wife can handle it, but she wants to murder me after how much I’m yelling for this one

 

[BigGoalBrad]

There we go. White and Holiday need to keep this up and win it for us with their D.

 

[CDJ]

Just like that 3 point game

 

[lextune]

Celts battling.

 

[pgm16]

Great D to get back in it

 

[BernieMcAvoy]

What's happened to Hauser since the start of the Cavs series? Went from lights out against Miami to forgetting how to shoot

 

[CDJ]

Hauser killing me

 

[lextune]

Hauser is useless if he's not gonna hit those open threes. Get him out of there.
