I would say the over/under on combined Bruins and Celtics playoffs wins this year was like 19.5 at least. That's the most conservative number I can come up with.
Gonna end up at 9. An all-time Boston disaster.

Defense Wins Chanpionships
I am upset with the performance of the Celtics in this series.
However the outcome maybe the same.
I expected the Celtics to win this series in 5 maybe 6. But not be going into Philly down 1 of a 3 game series.
I did expect Jimmy Butler to beat the Knicks. I then expected the Celtics to have problems and probably lose to the Heat, because Tatum and Brown are.not playing well together in the playoffs. Horford is hot or cold mostly cold and RW III hasn't gotten an offensive game. White, Brogdon, and Smart are also off and on in the playoffs. Then there's coach Mazzulla in the playoffs. Offseason trades are required to get this team on track for a spot in the finals in the future. They had their chance, egos got in the way.

Also if I have to watch Jaylen Brown try to dribble through traffic one more time I might never watch another game if he’s on the team ever again
They were in this situation a year ago but it doesn't feel the same. Udoka had them playing a defense first game that kept them in most games even if the shots aren't falling, if they aren't scoring at a high rate this year they're doomed because even the garbage Atlanta Hawks scored more points than anyone scored against the celtics in last years playoffs 4 times.

5 point lead with 1:50 left to go up 3-1 and put this team to bed and Marcus decides that’s a good time to throw up a 28-foot step back circus shot. That’s the play of the series right now.

ya what terrible execution team hasn't a clue in situational basketball
When no one on the floor can make a shot, is there ANY consideration to trying someone else?
Grant Williams? Sam Hauser ? Pritchard (got in but too late) Damn try Kornet or Griffin as bad as Horford was they in no way can do worse.....
It reminds me of high school.....well these 5 guys are the coaches favorite so they play even though they just went 2-30
MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT !!!!!!!!!

They're going to get run off the floor in game 6. I'm going to the movies so I'm not tempted to even check the score.
If you are not willing to admit that constantly shooting 3's when you are shooting 20 percent is not the best idea and maybe you should try getting it in the paint and trying to get Embiid in foul trouble, then you shouldn't be on the court

You know the thing I will miss least about these Celtics, this prideful, completely insufferable ___________doing postmortems where most of the major mistakes are his.

Sure. But I'm not letting our superstars off the hook at all. Jaylen still dribbles into traffic and obviously loses the ball. Tatum trying too much to be like Kobe and not enough like himself. Not enough finish.
There was nothing tonight. If this team can't hit 3's they just fold. It's embarrassing. It's the playoffs. The defense should be there. And so should the effort. If old ass Lebron is hussling up the court for the Lakers, this team of guys in their 20's can do it too.
I need to see the heart. The only player who came off the bench with energy, heart, and looked like he gave a shit was Pritchard.
Fix it.
