Brad has some work to do

naw... He should be fired

the best move he made was to hire Udoka. And now this

Bruins can't close. Celts can't close. Really sad

I'm just going to close my door a few times....so I know how satisfaction feels like

The Boston Puritans. Might not win a title, but we are morally superior.

 

[sarge88]

Horford …….0 for 211 from three

Grant Williams 0 minutes?

Pritchard enters game…….open 3 straight possessions….never touches the ball


such a frustrating team

 

[lextune]

The bench comes in and shows the starters how to ball.

Brad has some work to do

Maybe he can coach game 6

 

[lextune]

Total gag.

Not much time to practice FTs when you're busy being a historian of the game:

Honest to God wtf is this

I’ll be starting my yearly trade-Smart-to-Portland-for-Nurkic posts again now. Did you miss them?

Jaylen Brown misspells James Naismith's name on custom sneakers

During a Game 3 against the Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics All-Star forward Jaylen Brown wore custom-made sneakers with an unusual message written on them.

should’ve been a sweep this might be worse than the bruins tbh

 

[Johnnyduke]

Another year I’ll say this is not a championship core. Get smart tf out of here for a real center. Get a scoring guard for off the bench. Get a second “star” who can dribble and hit free throws. Is this hard?

How many years left on Jaylen's deal? One? I can see this being the offseason they take a hard look at it. Even still, you can't win in this league with nice players. You need stars. So unless they can get a star in return for JB you just gotta keep running it back. Sorta like the Nuggets. They have a hall of fame player and are always in the mix but nobody is really afraid of them. The Celtics don't strike fear in anybody.

celts need a shakeup and bring in a veteran scorer who can challenge them and teach not to fold under pressure. change the energy as they are a mental wreck

What? You never saw a conspiracy theorist misspell a guy's name before?

Trade Smart to Portland for Nurkic
Trade for Jordan Clarkson

If you don’t sign Brown to that deal, you can’t let him walk for nothing so you’re gonna have to trade him

This core sucks and is soft and stupid.

I'd really like to hear more about this. Is he trying to be more like Kyrie? Does he theorize Naismith did not invest the game? If so I know what Jaylen Brown's next thought/statement would be on the matter.

 

[PatriceBergeron]

They’re getting a ton of open 3s and just can’t hit. Eventually you’d think those start to fall.

The problem is they look lost on defense. The 76ers have them figured out and it feels like Mazzulla has no clue how to adjust. I wonder if Grant is struggling with a head injury because he looked good in game 2 and has barely played since getting stepped on.

 

[pgm16]

Smart out
Don't lose Brown, get a star in return

Get a top tier big & another scorer off the bench

Who knows...?

But when he asks "Was it really Neismith?" One can confidently answer, "no, Jaylen, it was not. It was Naismith, Dr. James Naismith." Lol.

 

[Johnnyduke]

I could see this in the NHL. The NBA? That's when you know you don't have it.

 

[pgm16]

Never ever did I think both teams would exit so early, really sad time for us

 

[lextune]

The Garden might be cursed...?

 

[Maine Fan]

Chuck with the dig at the Bruins,

 

[pgm16]

Garnett doesn't want to coach...does he ?

They f*** up defensive fundamentals on basically every other possession.

I want you guys to seriously watch our bigs when the other teams bigs set screens for Philly’s shooters. Watch it every time. The centers do not go with the screener, the guard gets screened, and the bigs run AWAY from the screen leaving the shooter with 3-5 feet of open space off the screens. EVERY time. It’s why Curry, Poole, Young, Harden, Maxey and all the of the good shooters in the league shred them. It’s a major reason why they lost to GS.

I know and understand things are different in the nba than at other levels of basketball but this is common sense and basic defense.

 

[KrejciMVP]

this core has snatched defeat from an easy path to victory too often. culture needs an overhaul

Garnett doesn't want to coach...does he ?

sure why not
