Yeah…the reason Stan isn’t coaching anymore is because of his personality. It’s a simple as that. He’s a perfectionist jackass that wears players down to the point that they don’t want to play for him. He knows ball.
I don’t even like the guy but pretending that because he doesn’t agree with you in the course of a Celtics game is the reason he’s unemployed is insane IMO
Not my point but whatever. Take your W and lets move on.

Go Cs

We actually finished a quarter strong.
No clue how we actually have the lead.
Oddly, things improved with Brown on the bench.
Won the first quarter. Win the next three and all will be well

Hes not those two but he’s 100% an exaggerator/flopper. I mean, good for him, and it’s not at comical levels but it’s absolutely still there
Smart is my favorite player. I am of the view that letting contact move you isn’t really flopping, in contrast to moving independently of the contact. I think Butler is usually on the right side of that line.

This feels like it was plagiarized from a Cormac McCarthy novel.

Miami outplayed us in the starter minutes, but the partial bench units swung to us big... probably because 2 big didn't work, and Jaylen was terrible, so when they went to the bench and we got to attack Zeller we made a nice run

I loved the Celtics energy in the 1st. This is going to be a stressful game.

I have no illusions that Miami is folding at any point, but it was good to see the Cs come out strong at the beginning of the quarter.

Agreed. Butler goes to the line a lot, but I have no problem with it. He's great at using his body to create contact, very much like Pierce was.

Honestly.... the only reason this isn't a blowout is those awful run the offense through Jaylen possessions early. When Tatum, Smart or White is running the show we have gotten great looks every time.

Don’t want to hear “what can the coach do?” when Grant, a known effective player against this team, was shelved in G1 and now doing stuff in G2.

Mazzulla should stretch JT to 40 plus minutes tonight, with him in the offensive action most of the time.

Tatum has played the whole game so far, I think. Kind of terrified about what happens when he goes to the bench.
