The Mazzulla effect on the roster is gone. Ime Udoka should have been reinstated to the head coach position. The team goes through ups and downs during the matches and at this point is just not reliable anymore, losing 3 times against Orlando Magic and now to the worst team on the league
Jaylen has the hot hand and the coach drew a play for the Kobe wannabe that is struggling with his shots.Thanks coach.
Missed FTs and lay-ups
I’m a Celtics dans but Rockets is a young talented team. Give them credit
76ers gonna be the 2nd seed baby
Bro did you guys see that reverse 360 almost dunk by Jalen green?
Man I haven't pay attention to the rockets since like 2021 I didn't know they had the warriors defense organ I was like wtf
Lol ain’t no way 82% is 3rd in the league
Tatum’s weakness
Tatum once again showing he is NOT that guy.
The worst team beat one of the best team 💀
Karma tuloy
Why didn’t they give they let brown get the last possession tho?
0:25 immaturity of brown , smart and tatum (thats why kyrie left)… and also coaching staff.. they had to foul …
Not really that wild, shot a bunch of free throws and made them
As A Rockets Fan I'm Proud Of The Squad. We Young, Just Gotta Keep Building Chemistry I'm Pumped For Our Future
These niggas paint their nails now? Smh! Gay.
Someone tell big perk that coach Joe mazzula will not be leading the Celtics back to the NBA Finals this season? word is bond 👌
And everyone went the Bucks was beaten by the celtics by bench player and role players. And this celtics now was beaten by 20 plis year old players lol
LBJ IS BIG SMILE IN HIS FACE – that's karma 🤣😂😂
Literally my heart came to my mouth 💀
Rockets show real potential when they want to show up and play. Unfortunately it's like 1 game in 10 at the moment lol
this Celts is unbelivable they fought hard to Bucks and Sixers then they fold to cellar dwellar team
Smart 6 points and 6 fouls wow
Embarrassing loss for the Celtics embarrassing Tatum plays his worst game yet
Tatum just played for the win of Rockets. How much NBA payed him?
Whattt
❤️
Celtics hate giving the ball to who currently has the hot hands, which is Brown lol
They should trade Tatum for Russ if they want the title next year
This Celtics team reminds me of the Rockets team that missed 27 straight 3's and lost their chance to upset the warriors a few years back. I hate when teams launch 50 3's a night because of analytics. If the 3 isn't dropping then adjust and start trying to get a few open mid range shots. Once you make a couple of those you can get in a groove and start taking the 3's again
Ain't no way a last seed team beat the celtics I doubt they'll gonna move to the 2nd round
Wild is an overstatement
One Organisation wants to lose and one Organisation wants to win and BOTH Teams messed up lol 🤦♂
Tatum, now you knew how it feels when ref didn't blow his whistle during your contested layup. No foul? Yahoo!
bro as a Celtics fan the way w have been preforming I think the bucks are eliminating us from the playoffs
There's literally more Celtics fans in the arena lol
what happened to Eric lewis?
😆😆😆😆😆
Silas had sex
Holy crap the Celtics suck
Green & KPJ who are arguably the most inefficient backcourt in the league shot a combined 13 of 42 & together got outscored by Brown. After beating the Celtics the Rockets have now tied their 2nd longest winning streak of the season!
home crowd booing there own team is sad
you suck Boston floppers
Ready Looks This Houston Rockets Daryl Dixon Next Anthony Bennett 🏀🏀🏀🏀 Picks NBA Draft 2023
Really tough loss for the Celtics. Idc what point of the season or what seed the Celtics are. if the worst team beats the best team, Boston got some things to figure out. Time lord presence is definitely missed rn
