    Sounds like someone who has money on Boston

  2. RazingsIsNotHomeNow

    Are Celtics the new Timberwolves?
    Talented but dumb.

  3. purplebuffalo55

    Chuck giving Boston fans a voice lmao

  4. jawadhaque089

    Brown got blocked by Duncan Robinson on a 3 that should tell you everything

  5. Babushka5

    I mean, they’re good looks and the looks Miami’s giving us. Milwaukee did this last year and it worked out for us. This year, it’s not working out.

  6. hot-sauce-950

    I love Jimmy but the way the two teams are playing I don’t know how Denver isn’t gonna completely obliterate them

  7. aviary___

    He’s right. The offense seems like it’s either JB take a contested 3 or lose the ball dribbling recklessly to the rim

  8. jimmymfbuckets

    He’s right. The shot selection has been ridiculous. Brown and Smart keep chucking up contested Hail Mary’s from deep, just stupid honestly

  9. DeeetroitBasketball3

    They’re struggling to break the zone and that’s resulting in them shooting those 3s. Credit to Miami defense so far

  10. PsychologicalGuest97

    When you brick 3 after 3, maybe it’s time to stop and do something else

  11. Ifinishfast42

    Suns fans seething that r/nbacirclejerk gonna still be promoting that booker is Lukas son.

  12. KennySmithsKnees

    Spoken like a man that took Celtics -7.5

  13. jak_d_ripr

    Nothing sums up the Celtic experience better than this series, dumb enough to fall down 0-3 against a hobbled 8 seed, but talented enough to win 3 straight and force a game 7.

    I just don’t understand why they can’t stop getting in their own way? You can’t even give Miami credit for some of those stops, it was just Boston hanging themselves.

  14. SpecialistPlan9641

    Can I take a second to salute Chuck. He really lost a lot of weight.

  15. NeptuneOW

    I don’t blame him, the amount of horrible shots the Celtics have taken is unreal

  16. executivesphere

    He’s right. This Celtics squad is probably the worst great team (i.e. multiple deep playoff runs) I’ve ever seen. When it comes down to it, the always fail.

  17. Walrus-Ready

    Tatum and Brown are basically dudes with Lebron’s body but a 12yo controlling them on 2k

  18. Synth-Pro

    In the first quarter, the second Chuck said the Celtics were gonna do it… it was over.

    Funny enough, it’s genuinely after he said that that Boston lost their early lead.

    Charles strikes again

  19. bad_timing_bro

    It’s so hard to watch. Unless it’s Martin, it’s just pull up bricks from 3. But that’s today’s NBA I guess, and if they fall it looks like incredible offense.

  20. VevroiMortek

    what’s crazy is shaq played for both teams lol

  21. Landolph

    Why do you not adjust when you’re bricking every three? I don’t understand.

  22. s0ysauce09

    What are your thoughts on Jimmy Butler, Chuck ,”holdd up lemme tell you bout these Dumbass Celtics…” lmaoooo

  23. electricHats75

    “They’re not winning a game 7 in Boston” he just mad cuz his pick was wrong

  24. The-Hand-of-Midas

    This is why I love Chuck.

    No filter. Full send that mouth.

  25. Argyrus777

    The more TALENT Boston has, the less ball movement they’ll have… trust me bro 🤣

  26. MiamiPower

    Chuck the degenerate gambling tips Expert 😂🤣😅

  27. tonylouis1337

    Petition to make Dumbass Celtics a user flair

  28. PrinceVaughn69

    Chuck just keeping it real. If he had the talented roster this Boston team had he probably would’ve won championships.

  29. SquashForDinner

    This man calling the celtics dumbasses in their own building lmao.

    Spo just ran Iso D all game and Joe had no answer. ChatGPT could’ve done a better job:

    To defeat isolation defense in basketball, you can utilize the following strategies:

    1. Clear out space: Create room for the offensive player with the ball by having teammates move away from the strong side of the court. This opens up the floor and makes it more challenging for defenders to help or double-team.

    2. Quick ball movement: Make quick, crisp passes to keep the defense off balance. This can force the defender to react and potentially create openings for teammates to cut to the basket or get open for shots.

    3. Screen and roll: Set screens for the offensive player with the ball to force the defender to navigate around or through the screen. This can create opportunities for the ball handler to attack the basket or for the screener to roll to the hoop for a pass.

    4. Backdoor cuts: Utilize backdoor cuts where an offensive player fakes towards the ball, then quickly cuts behind the defender and towards the basket. This can catch the defense off guard and create easy scoring opportunities.

    5. Off-ball movement: Encourage off-ball movement from your teammates to keep the defense occupied. Players can make cuts, set screens for each other, or spot up in open areas to provide passing options for the ball handler.

    6. Exploit mismatches: If the isolation defense leaves a significant size or speed advantage for one of your players, look to exploit that mismatch. Feed the ball to the player who has an advantage and let them attack one-on-one.

    7. Shoot from outside: If the defense collapses too much to help on the isolation, it can create open perimeter shots. Make sure your players are ready to catch and shoot if the defense collapses on the ball handler.

    8. Patience and decision-making: It’s essential to remain patient and make smart decisions. Don’t rush into a contested shot or force a play if it’s not there. If the isolation isn’t successful, be ready to transition into a different offensive set or play.

    Remember, defeating isolation defense requires teamwork, communication, and smart basketball IQ. Practicing these strategies and developing chemistry with your teammates can improve your effectiveness against this defensive tactic.

    I knew the heat were going to win because barkley predicted the celtics would win.
