5/23 @ Miami "Not today...?"

[radsoxfan]

For whatever reason, they seem to want the season to be over.

If things continue like this, one of the strangest endings to a team’s season in sports history.

Massive favorites in Vegas and analytics. No injuries. Destroyed in 4 games.

 

[jablo1312]

tough to have rob screen for tatum, they can blitz tatum and rob can only roll to the rim, no gravity towards the 3p line. need to put him in the dunker spot and PnR on the oppo wing

 

[Auger34]

I think Butler has picked Tatum’s pocket every time he’s tried that spin move on him

 

[teddykgb]

Where's Scott Foster the extender, btw?

Probably calling his bookie saying “I can’t work miracles man”

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

The comparison in the half court by each team's offense is fucking crazy.

The Heat ran a better 24 second offense that led to a three a few minutes ago that was better than any offensive possession the Celtics have had all series.

It's two teams not in the same universe right now.

 

[Cellar-Door]

They need a new O strategy instead of putting ball in JTs hands every time at the top.

What though? Last game they tried running him off screens and nobody could get him the ball. We have nobody you can trust to create off the dribble but him.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

The offense is the same over and over again.

Early in the game, they were getting Tatum the ball with a defender on him, and then the passer would clear the zone. Tatum would have space to work 1 on 1, and then when help came, he could pass out.

We're back to giving him the ball up top, putting a screener out there, and letting Miami build a wall in front of him.

GET SOME FUCKING SPACING.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

These guys are toast. Gonna lose by 25

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Probably calling his bookie saying “I can’t work miracles man”

I could be blowing the whistle and they’d still be losing.

 

[Cellar-Door]

good ball movement off the ATO

 

[Auger34]

Ok there we go

 

[LynnRice75]

Marcus got crushed on his wrist by Bam for a turnover. Then on the other end, the guy he’s defending falls over while Marcus is defending the entry pass. Fosterball.

But the Celtics have to fight through it. They aren’t getting the calls, too bad. Don't lose focus.

Good timeout by Joe before things spiral.

I’d like adjustments on days off to prevent the spiral ahead of time.

 

[SoFloSoxFan]

Unfortunately they are getting thoroughly outplayed again. This is where they could easily turtle.

 

[slamminsammya]

Celtics PnR defense is just not existent right now.

 

[mostman]

WHAT THE FUCK MALCOLM

 

[Ed Hillel]

Have they made any adjustments? Doesn't seem like it. Seems like the same plan that has failed multiple times.

Nope. We've seen this inconsistency in the past, but never this consistently bad in a series. Not in any way letting players off the hook, but Joe seems to just be way in over his head. I mean you throw a 34 year old to the wolves like this...it's a tough spot.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Lowry Harden and the whole head throwback club can get fucked.

 

[Ale Xander]

If Jt can’t guard Lowry without fouling, they’ve got issues

 

[McBride11]

Oh ffs. He fucking flopped

 

[Auger34]

WHAT THE FUCK MALCOM

Yeah….not good

 

[Imbricus]

They just love jackin' threes, and not in the flow of the offense, either.

 

[Auger34]

Lowry Harden and the whole head throwback club can get fucked.

Trae Young is FURIOUS you didn’t include him in this

 

[teddykgb]

I had absolutely no idea Brogdon could be such a black hole on offense. Completely misjudged what his game would be

 

[JOBU]

Literally took a punch to the face for them to call a foul on the Heat

 

[JCizzle]

The Heat foul? I don't believe it.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

I can’t even tell Brogdon and Grant apart anymore

 

[Ale Xander]

What shit shot

 

[Cellar-Door]

Brogdon.... not exactly the playmaker he was billed as

 

[slamminsammya]

They just love jackin' threes, and not in the flow of the offense, either.

wasnt it wide open?

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Grant literally just standing there.

 

[shawnrbu]

Can TNT turn off Reggie’s mic the rest of the night?

 

[JCizzle]

Grant was literally just standing there LOL

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Brogdon just has no court vision - missed a wide open cutting Timelord.

 

[Auger34]

Brogdon nuked that entire possession

 

[ifmanis5]

Brogdon's fall off has been dramatic.

 

[mostman]

Ok. Now I see why Smart has been getting so much play. Brogdon is a trash fire.

 

[NavaHo]

Whichever fuckin Zeller this is is getting superstar calls tonight huh

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

They are all too fucking slow on the dribble to do shit except for Jaylen and he can’t dribble.

Worked against winter dgaf defenses, getting smoked here.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Brogdon’s contract…sucks

 

[luckiestman]

Brogdon does not seem ready to compete. He needs to get better quick

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Lol. What a fucking mess.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Is Brogdon hurt? What the hell happened, he was so much better up until the last two weeks or so.

 

[scottyno]

Well, the Giannis injury probably helped that along.

Giannis scored 64 points with 30 rebounds and 16 assists in the last 2 games

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

They are going to have to give up a pick to get Brogdon's contract off this team.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Everyone spend all offseason learning to look awkward on contact. The Celtics try too hard to actually hit shots after contact.

 

[TripleOT]

it is so fucking infuriating that the Celtics give up 30 points every freaking first quarter to this team

 

[Bergs]

I can't even bring myself to hate Butler anymore. I love his game.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Is Brogdon hurt? What the hell happened, he was so much better up until the last two weeks or so.

teams started attacking his dogshit defense, and putting pressure on him on O

 

[benhogan]

They should have stayed Double BIG and let TL guard Jimmy.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Ok. Now I see why Smart has been getting so much play. Brogdon is a trash fire.

That's why I'd be replacing Smart with Hauser when White is out there with JT and JB.
