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

Tatum simply can’t have the ball in his hands the last possession of the game. That’s not “Ivy League basketball iq”. End of reg and OT. Insane.

 

[CDJ]

that’s on Jaylen for inexplicably leaving James harden wide open in the corner

 

[rocketdan9]

Fire Mazzulla.

The last sequence is the reason he should be fired

Marcus Smart had the ball way too often in his hands. WTF

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

A 3 to Harden was literally the one thing you could not give up. You were better off just letting Embiid score. So stupid. So so stupid.

 

[quietbruinfan]

Screw the NBA SCREW THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[JEM28]

Let’s hang onto the ball around mid court until there’s 4 seconds left…then figure it out.

 

[DiggityDog]

They sweep this series with some competence

He was clutch the possession prior (though a pushoff)

Overall I agree with you

They should have called a timeout and had Brogdon sub in/handle the ball

Mazulla loves that ....don't mess the flow BS. He will get trounced at the podium today.

He is just too cocky for his own good imo.

I know

Basically the definition of shoot yourself on the foot

Get the bucket 1st and play D. Or foul for one more opportunity

Mazzulla just way too chill

 

[Fair Warning]

I’m depressed Bruins fan who decided to give the NBA a try for a change and watch today Celtics game.

Yeah, I’m good.

 

[KrejciMVP]

what a bad loss

That's the Coach Joe special. Did it all season, perfected it for the playoffs.

Basketball 101....tie the game

I agree, but they will win the series

Yeah, I’m good.

Me too.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

It's just another year of the C's playing down to their opponent. They never learn. No reason to lose game 1. No reason to lose today. They'll go 7 and if they win talk about being resilient or some other bs.

 

[Alicat]

that’s on Jaylen for inexplicably leaving James harden wide open in the corner

Yup but we all know Marcus Smart will get all the blame while Tatum, Brown and Mazzulla skate by.

Hang around my friend, you will love them or want to kill them...lol

 

[rocketdan9]

I expect the Celts to win the series 4-2 or worst worst case 4-3

IF Mazzulla can't close it out. He should be fired. Brad Stevens on the hot seat.

 

[Alicat]

John nearly lost his life after being shot while attending class at Michigan State.

An incredible moment to watch

 

[sarge88]

How does Jaylen Brown not touch the ball on 2 last possessions?

 

[Mione134]

Too slow down the stretch

 

[BernieMcAvoy]

Felt like they did a lot of the small things wrong late in the 4th and in ot. Brown helping on the final 76ers possession is just dumb basketball. If Embiid wants to take a contested shot at the rim just to tie the game and giving you the final possession let him, don't give their hottest player all game a wide open 3 to take the lead. Also thought they took way too long to get going on the final possession of the 4q or ot, they had no timeouts at the end of the game so there's no pressure to hold the ball for the final shot if you get the mismatch and it's not like you used any of yours either so if you miss, take the foul and get another chance.

 

[EverettMike]

The city of Boston's championship aspirations are being murdered by head coaches with the initials J.M.

 

[CDJ]

I honestly don’t think coaching really matters much in the nba. The players made a lot of dumb mistakes down the stretch and I refuse to absolve them of blame for this game, they’re the biggest reason they lose just like they’re the biggest reason they win

We can act like Udoka was better but the same kinda shit happened last year in games they lost too. Is it really coaching at this point?

*disclaimer: it was stupid to not call timeout on the last possession, I would’ve done it. Sixers were sucking wind late tho so I wonder if that factored into the decision
