I’ve reached the conclusion that we are definitely the 80s Bucks. This core ain’t got it.
5/21, Game 3 @Miami

- Start date
The problem is when the Celts are called for doing the exact same things that aren't fouls the other way. It's an impossible way to play hoops. The C's also can't hit the broadside of a barn.. but they're getting manhandled on offense and getting called for touch fouls on defense.
Heat starting to feel a little like a team of destiny. Crazy the confidence they’re playing with.
One of, if not the, favorite Celtics games I've ever watched. When Antoine of all guys puts your effort to shame....

Jokic and Murray are stars that showed up and delivered in a massive way. The aftermath of this Tatum/Brown showing is going to be a bloodbath.
Marcus was whining the other night about time outs and is doing dumb shit now. Joe has been getting shit on for 4 days for not calling time outs to stop momentum and now he is calling those times outs, and how is that working out?
Difference is that Denver has been overlooked all playoffs too. It’s going to be irresistible force and immovable object. The Heat and the Nuggets have been by far the two best teams. Once this game is over, the Celtics will have two more losses in the playoffs than the Heat and Nuggets combined.
2 of 3 are guys who are literally in the league because they're killers on open 3s
They cut it to within kind of striking distance at the half by playing tough defense and appropriately doubling Butler. They come out, immediately cut it to 12, then completely abandon everything they did right at the end of the second. They wilted. Quit. Sucks but no other explanation.
Stop with this narrative. Don't both sides it. The refs have done nothing to sway this series!
He has to watch Strus and Robinson and beg his agent to ask for a trade to the Heat.
Can't wait for the laundry list of "x,y and z were all hurt" excuses.
They're a dumb team that can't compete against elite competitors. The minute they step on the floor, it's like chum in the water.
I understand keeping the asset and signing brown to a huge extension, but what's the point with this group. They don't compete at a championship level. It's the same old story.
You have to break it down, sell off parts. Jaylen and Jayson aren't a championship core. We've seen it all before.

Why should we get foul calls? One or two guys touch the ball on offense and we switch into bad mismatches on defense every possession. What do you expect?
Not unless Brad is coming back to the bench. They can’t want four coaches in four years.
The Hauser thing is funny. We are getting punked by a team with like 2-3 Hausers but sure we could never survive his defense.
I’d say the odds CJM returns are far closer to 0% than they are to even 50%.
Maybe there’ll be a rain out before game 4 so the Celtics can get that magical two days of rest
We've reached the "just throw up lazy jumpers" portion of the evening. This team just wants to go home
