Celtics/NBA 2023-2024 Regular Season

[BernieMcAvoy]

20-2 at home with the two losses to two of the best teams in west...probably should have lost to the T-Wolves at home too. Just saying, I will never truly believe in this team. Maybe it's the coach. Maybe it's Tatum and Brown. I just have an uneasy feeling that this group will be able to handle the pressure.

The history of coming up short either in the Conference Finals or Finals will always make people sceptical about them until they actually win a championship. I think the coach handcuffs their potential, with the talent on the roster and his heavy analytical offensive system when they shoot well from 3 they are almost unstoppable but if the shots aren't falling you see a coach who doesn't seem to feel how a game is flowing and slow to make adjustments. No team has won a championship where they basically have to shoot 40% from 3 to do it but that's what the Celtics are trying.


The Celtics either have the best or 2nd best roster in the league, the best in the East certainly. Coaching and mental mistakes is what will hold them back.

That game was a giant wet fart.

I think missing 3s, after missing 3s, after missing 3s should open the game strategy but the plan always seems to be shot 3s.

Did you notice that at half time the kids were playing Mazzulla Ball. What happened to the 2 point lay up?

Don't tell Mazzulla, he'll start blaming Gary Washburn

Am I allowed to say that Luka is probably better?

Sure......am I allowed to say lifetime ban ????

They need play with pace, utilize the paint, & shoot 3's.
Spot on comment about coming up short in CF or finals. Brad will add I think.

It was a bad night where they all shot like shit against a really good team. It happens over 82. No big deal.

Maybe but I think the Celtics have now lost to the Bucks, Nuggets and Clippers in the past month? I'm just prepping myself for the playoff failure.

Yeah, but they have plenty of great wins this season, too. And every other great team has losses to great teams.

They blew this same clippers team out in their own court by like double what they just beat us by

Some Celtics fans are weird man, silence after a win and then when they lose once every couple of weeks they come out of the woodwork with piss drenched undies

Think they are adding ?

If they do it will be minor imo. Maybe a rotation wing/PF that’s more consistent than Brissett

 

[Oates2Neely]

Celts still top dog. Although I think Mazzulla will prevent them from winning it all. His failure to adapt when the 3’s aren’t falling is maddening. Udoka was better.

Dude Kawhi Leonard didn't even play in that game. But ya God forbid people react to results during a season! And against teams you might see in finals or eastern finals etc. Let me get my leprechaun jammies on now. Everything is awesome.

How the heck is bad shooting so contagious with this team

Mazzulla should be careful, don't want to get shown the door like Adrian Griffin!

 

[BernieMcAvoy]

Shooting 70% from 2 and 24% from 3. Shot 5 more three pointers than twos in the first half

Are you serious or joking? I just don't see Mazzulla getting the boot. The players seem to like him, they control the shots. Players (Portis) gave Griffin the boot by calling him out in the locker room. Buck's did not have much choice but to fire him. Have you seen a change since he left? I didn't think so.

 

[Maine Fan]

It always amazes me that the Celtic players seem to collectively miss 3s. Mazzulla must have a switch.

Kidding but to be honest nothing would be surprise me when you see Griffin fired while having one of the best records in the league.

Coaches must get along with the players in the NBA, as you know.

Good win without Porzingis and being down 17 at one point
