I can’t give an exact number, but I know that for years, I have seen this happen too much: Tatum is ice cold and Brown is hot, the game is close, and Tatum takes and misses the last shot instead of Brown. I get he’s “the #1 guy” but the dude ain’t clutch. Please let JB take those shots 🙏🏻
Looks more likely I will still suffer nightmares from Game 4 of the Finals last year. Last year's team is much better than this team. Remember when we were destroying teams heading into the postseason last year? Now look at this losing to the bottom feeder Rockets not long after losing 3 games straight having a double-digit lead. Idk anymore….
They are done. No heart. KG should take damin Stoudemires role.
Marcus smart is a real freaking problem right now. Once Rob is back smart needs to come off the bench in favor of white or brogdon. Would prefer brogdon to start in playoffs tbh.
How do you lose to the worst team on the Western Conference? They have been losing to bad teams after the all star. Honestly, they need to pull it together. These games shouldn’t even be this close. It is looking really sad right now.
this is the worst loss of the season. Why did we not give jaylen brown the last shot, he was on fire that game!
Smart and horford basically took the night off. Don’t want to hear shit about the others. Ultimately smart is the one killing them right now. He’s got something up with him. Getting into fights and just always looking mad.
No sense of urgency, but the Rockets played hard tonight. Winning regular season games, doesn't matter to the Celtics. This is hard to watch. All Tatum wanna do is shot three's. Tatum for LVP.
yes, last year's 2nd half team was mentally and physically tougher than this Mazulla bunch.
Crap defense, crap coaching, Smart and Grant were crap again too.
Our coach suck
Jt is overrated
JB on 🔥🔥🔥not getting the ball on last play smh
Their "starting point guard" had more fouls than assist and rebs , even Kendrick Perkins is tired of smart shooting 3s and forcing a shot late game. Brogdon has to share the floor more with Jb and JT.
JB better than JT since all-star game and he is always better in the playoffs.
No more MVP chants JB better half the games
No heart. Very soft team. Mentally soft!!!! We are in trouble in the playoffs!!!!!!
Tatum takes entirely too many 3-point shots. He's not even a good 3-point shooter. The same is true of Smart and Brown. The wrong people are consistently taking too many.
No defense, playing to level of competition, 3 for 20 from three and still continue to shoot the three, especially with no shot blocker on Houston. The coach seems to be okay with them to continue with threes. This team is not disciplined or mature enough to win first place never mind a championship. To many "cute plays" as Perkins would say (imaturity).!!!!!!!
I've been a Celtic fan since the 60's. When are we going to address the real elephant in the room. We had deeper teams in the pass and Brad could not get to the finals. So as good as this team should be they not going to make it with this rookie coach that doesn't know what it takes to win. It's sad that all the money for these games we pay for and support that they can disrupt the whole franchise because a un married man had sex with a adulterous woman. She is the one who made the vow so if anyone was going to be punished it's her. Or leave it alone. We as fans want a title not a unjust soap opera. Give IME his job back and let's go win this Chip or we need to boycott these games because Damon leaves now and Jt and Jb will be next. IME brought the best out of them.
Have fun not winning a championship and wasting all this talent on this team because you decided to get a 34 rookie coach with 0 experience. Pathetic leadership. Brogdon, Horford all wasted talent. Force Wyc to sell the team for such dumb decisions.
Pathetic. What a waste. 0 championships. 0
Perkins i will tell why they fall in love with three it's called being lazy, it takes a lot more energy to drive to the hoop!!!
This is unfair to the fans you will not win playoff games shooting 45 /50 3's. Brad may not want to win a chip since he never got close with all the talent he had. IME first year got farther than Brad. Mazulla is a good high school coach… Make any excuse and bring back IME. WYC
Not at all surprised,Tatum has more lapses these days.
The Celtics always underestimate teams.
I think the C's (not naming names..JT & Smart) are tired of playing the regular season and wants to go straight to the playoffs. You hear their interviews saying they dont care about the numbers; they might be talking about their individual stats or accomplishments, but to them, all these remaining games are just numbers. They want a championship and it still feels like they really do.
And once the playoffs start, we'll see the same team at the start of the season. I just hope they dont develop these bad habbits that wont go away when it counts the most.
Joe and the staff should just focus on getting his core guys healthy and ready; give the 2nd and 3rd stringers more minutes to finish the regular season; reduce JT, JB, Smart, Al and Rob's minutes. Dwhite, Brogdon, PP, Hausser, Grant, Muscala, Blake, Kornet, JD, Kabangele can win them games.
I hope I'm right. crossing fingers
#BleedGreen #LetsGoCeltics 👌☘️💚🇵🇭
PS. Really feels like JT and Smart are done with the regular season and wants to go straight to the playoffs. It's just bad that the whole team is suffering because of them..Joe should consider playing JT and Smart much less minutes (22-25) to get them healthy for the playoffs and limit their sloppy play. This should also make them cherish their playing time more and not go on autopilot for 60-70% of the time they are playing.
Tatum plays catch up so many times now,he's no MVP candidate.
WYC needs to more invested in his investment instead of trying to satisfy his butt hurt investor. His investment is going down each game. Coach don't know how to push the team flow or change rotations during game adjustments won't make it pass the 1st round possibly lost 3 times to Orlando now Houston smh. Should have hired Mark Jackson if you was going to coward out and fire IME… Can't win being a unfair franchise.. Don't wait to late.
Ehouse going at Perk and Scal like they were the coaching the team 😂😂 08 champs forever 🔥
It's time for a Petition on firing Joe and Resigning IME.
Le'ts face it, Jason Tatum Stinks. As a Celtic fan, he is such a disappointment. Overhyped, Good player at best(w/ few flashes of brilliance and great games under his belt) but not MVP caliber. He will not carry this team to banner 18. That last shot should have been taken by Malcolm or JB.
And Mazulla sucks too. That last play was already over used. He needs to come up w/ some plays of his own. Bring back Ime.
They want to get to playoffs healthy
