The Celtics needed a win in Game 3 to make this a series, and instead they completely fell apart in Miami. Their 3-pointers weren’t falling and Gabe Vincent was tearing them apart, and they just seemed to quit. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal discusses the ridiculous shooting numbers, the complete lack of respect Boston has for Miami, the lessons they just don’t learn, and why Joe Mazzulla is part of the problem, but not THE problem.

Told ya'll last year when you said you would be back in the championship next year, it is not that easy.
You’re overthinking this. You overrated your team.
I have never been on the "you gotta break them up" boat, but how do you pat a duo the kind of money youll need to pay the Js when they have proven at this point who they are? Jaylen Brown inparticular gave up in this game.
I’ll be honest with you….. y’all trash
LETS GO MIAMI HEAT🔥🔥🔥🔥🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😎😎😎
No team is perfect by any means. Including the Heat. However, this year's Heat squad has found a way to exploit to the absolute maximum the weakness of their opponents: Bucks (lack of athleticism and suspect offense), Knicks (lack of shooting), Celtics (as you have said John, over reliance on the 3 ball).
The Celtics are done, can't just run it back. Jaylen has to go, he's not a winner. Tatum may also be a loser, but Jaylen is obviously bad for the team because that guy doesn't know what an assist is. He takes bad shot after bad shot and turns the ball over because of a shaky handle consistently. Let him go elsewhere and pretend he should be option one and mess up some other teams offensive flow. Let him go elsewhere and go 0 for 7 from three in a conference finals game three. That's not what the Celtics greats of the past did. Jaylen Brown will always just be a footnote.
When i say they i mean Tatum Brown and Marcus Smart.
We kno our team
I'm done with the Celtics. Never trusting them again. Never buying tickets or merchandise again… zero spending on the NBA. I am turning my back on them because they have turned their backs on their fans.
And the Celtics are still favored tomorrow night? …3% chance of winning? Take a seat with the Bruins and your Democrat fans
Im tired of the narrative of "they quit on the coach" with this team. That would make two coaches in three years that they have "quit" on. When do we stop blaming the coach and start blaming the players for being mentally weak crybabies that fold when things go bad?
Joe has to go
Ok, I know this is highly unlikely, but does anyone remember the Boston Red Sox down 0-3 against the Yankee’s? The 0-3 comeback has to happen one of these years, and what better time than now, if anyone wants to preach Celtics are great in adversity, this is the “Ultimate” test! All the fans need rally behind this.
miami saw how soft and vulnerable the celtics were all season long that even their bench players gained alot of confidence they could whoop that leprechaun ass
When they were down 0-2, I thought they still had a chance, but now they are toast. This team ain't the '04 Red Sox.
It is obvious you have no inside scoring presence Celtics
John, i think this game was lost the second the Celtics started fighting the refs for calls. They felt the refs were screwing them, reverted to crybabies. Add that to the fact that they were missing wide open 3 after wide open 3 while every Heat role player turned into Steph Curry, they just lost their will to fight. Jaylen Brown inparticular.
That play where he had the ball at the 3 point line and was looking around for a screener and just decided to pull up for 3 from 3 feet behind the arc was the moment i saw him quit on the team last night. From then on he didnt even attempt a drive.
All those guys have carried us before, spend time watching basketball, not just the Celtics. the Heat have a saying, we have enough, and those “undrafted” “less talented” guys have stepped up many times in the past.
Major changes coming to the Celtics. Mark it down. Trades are coming. Mazzula has lost this team.
The Celtics need to change their T-SHIRT slogan to “Finished Business” they played like the Sixers when they beat them, WITH NO HEART! Maybe it’s contagious!
