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

[N o o d l e s]

Coaches will often tell a player when to go in during certain scenarios. At a certain time or next offensive sequence etc. so I’d say no but Marcus Smart has been elevated to such a level of importance honestly who knows

 

[DangleCity]

the actual best team in Boston

I don't know about.

If they are, it's by default

Bruins are not as self-important, nor as soft.

The Celts have had success going small and fast against Philly the last couple years. They need to do that and attack Harden over and over again on the defensive end.

Boy did Mazzula f*** up in Game 1. A total coaching disaster.

It's a players league. Mazzula didn't turn the ball over 16 times, Mazzula didn't play zero defense, whatever the blame pie looks like, Mazzula has a small sliver. The coach is an easy target for people who don't want to blame players

:exhausted sigh:

 

[pgm16]

Need a win tonight, I like smiling !

 

[lextune]

If we don't win in convincing fashion there could be real trouble in this series.

 

[JRull86]

Embiid just cannot help himself with the flopping. It's honestly impressive how committed he is to it.

 

[EverettMike]

How was that not a flagrant on Tucker?

 

[quietbruinfan]

Mark my words: The Celtics will disintegrate in the third quarter as Mazzulla continues his trend of zero halftime adjustments on the year.

& no need to do it, he is a great ball player.

Much better effort on defence except for leak-outs. Gotta be better getting back down the flloor

 

[Alicat]

get rid of the damn drone. It's awful!

 

[Maine Fan]

I hope that Tatum is over this MVP thing in his head. He came in 4th in the voting. He got ZERO votes for #1 & #2, he got 1 vote for #3 and 89 votes for #4. As I said before he needs to stop whining. Now he has 3 fouls against him and has turned the ball over the most and he is on the bench. Tatum just have fun play ball. Tatum must be the leader and Brown must accept that Tarum is the Celtics leader.

Now play some ball with defense. When they don't play defense they lose, period, and they blow leads.

Go Celtics

 

[Mione134]

Defense looks better tonight.

But they need more.

 

[lextune]

Brown is doing his part.

 

[Johnnyduke]

Up 16 with a complete no show from Tatum...impressive

He came out on fire but has been in foul trouble all game.

Only going off box score but has just the one FG

 

[EverettMike]

Only going off box score but has just the one FG

Had 5 points almost immediately.

And as always, even when his shot isn't falling he's still rebounding.

 

[quietbruinfan]

I could be wrong about those adjustments-for the first time this year.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

This team's inconsistency is infuriating. They could dominate every night.

 

[lextune]

If we don't win in convincing fashion there could be real trouble in this series.

This has been the convincing fashion I needed to see. Even with Tatum getting in early foul trouble.

 

[KrejciMVP]

good response. cant go down 0-2
