Celtics/NBA 2023 Playoffs Round 2 - Back to Boston for Game 7 - Sunday 3:30 PM on ABC

[lextune]

Wow. That was terrible, lol.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

I'd fire Mazzulla before game 2.

 

[EverettMike]

Marcus Smart not the guy I want with the ball there. Idiot coach

 

[quietbruinfan]

Screw Mazzulla and screw defensive ace, Marcus Smart. Don't say I did not warn you about these massively overrated chumps. Gentleman's sweep incoming. Disgusting as usual.

 

[Johnnyduke]

Marcus Smart. Again no reason for this guy to be on the floor. It's not like he helped limit Harden tonight. Marcus is a loser.

What a pathetic loss. Mazzulla ain't it.

 

[pgm16]

So bad

 

[EverettMike]

Horrific loss. HORRIFIC.

The coach is THE problem.

 

[lextune]

Is the Garden cursed?

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Seriously Mazzulla has no clue what to do at the end of games. I said it going into the playoffs and it just keeps happening.

 

[KrugAvoy]

There is some really bad voodoo going on in TD Garden right now. If there wasn't a transit hub beneath it I'd implode it and build someplace else

 

[Alicat]

Someone needs to sage the Garden.

 

[Johnnyduke]

Someone needs to sage the Garden.

Kyrie is free

 

[CDJ]

Someone needs to sage the Garden.

who would have thought we needed Kyrie after all

 

[EverettMike]

I really can't get over how consistently f***ing terrible Mazzula is.

Honestly? They need to take a page out of crazy Kyrie and sage the entire building. Also, get a priest and dose it with Holy Water.


Then somebody has to sit down with Mazzula because these games where there's 30 seconds to go to close it out. He can't deliver a play to save his life.

 

[Maine Fan]

When is the management of the Celtics going to tell Tatum to STOP whining to the refs and just do what he gets paid to do.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Marcus Smart not the guy I want with the ball there. Idiot coach

6 turnovers from Smart alone. Definitely a good idea to put the game in his hands.

 

[Johnnyduke]

To give up 45 to 2023 James Harden without Embiid is very difficult to do.

 

[Mr Cartmenez]

This team cannot be taken seriously, especially after what happened last year. Sometimes it feels like they intentionally try to play down to their opponent.

Tatum got outplayed by yet another player, this time by Harden. Who knew.

 

[Johnnyduke]

I really can't get over how consistently f***ing terrible Mazzula is.

Postgame should be fun. He gets real defensive.

 

[N o o d l e s]

This team is a total f***ing joke as well. There’s legitimately no reason to watch the Celtics as long as Smart is still around

SIDE NOTE the Celtics are still going under the screens on 3s even though it caused them to lose the finals to GS. Even though they teach you in middle school to at least TRY to fight over the screens. Even though the opposing teams have had Curry, Trey Young and James Harden. It’s f***ing laughable.

And yes I would like to blame the coach but they consistently demonstrate the same issues they have since this core has been together. Awful turnovers. Awful shot selection. Awful defensive tendencies. No ability to close out. Moronic play time and time and time and time again.

 

[KrejciMVP]

great start

 

[lextune]

Scal could scheme up a better play out of a timeout.

 

[EverettMike]

Verdugo should coach the Celtics.
