I have just had the worst day today
I turned it off when we went down 15. What happened?
Joels foot out of bounds ???????
I’ve seen enough from Payton. Thank you for your service. Goodbye
Amazing fake comeback. How about showing this intensity the entire fucking game?
Fake comeback Celtics back on the menu boiz
Classic fake comebaxk
That went as well as I expected
Respect for the turnaround late, but the amount of games Jaylen loses us is despicable
Pritchard should not be getting any minutes
I genuinely hope they learn from this late game comeback. They had the capability to do that the entire game and didn’t. They’re better than this and they know it
Can’t play like fucking dogshit for 3 quarter and expect a miracle run to win it.
PP cried of his playing time last season and now he is not showing why he deserves it
Celtics were getting open looks from 3 tonight, they just didn’t fall. No need to over-analyze, I trust they’ll look better on Friday
shit calls up to the very last second
Hate to say it but Horford is washed. He’s been shooting like shit all playoffs and regular season. He can’t play the minutes he plays and keep going 1-6.
Not good enough not good enough no moral losses when you’re the favorite. Pathetic performance tonight, bench scoring is very concerning. Pritchard figure that shit out.
really need Pritchard to get some shots to fall
Close game against another great team. We shot like shit tonight but overall we had some good looks.
Imagine if Pritchard could hit a shot. A normal task for most bench players in the NBA.
Joel was out of bounds.
Horford a -23 on the game…..
Are they seriously not going to review whether Embiid’s foot was out????? That last replay showed it on the line with 3 seconds left. We could’ve used those seconds
is embiid not standing out of bounds? the fuck?
Kristaps was the difference tonight. If Joe puts him in with 6 minutes to go instead of less than 4, the Celtics could have won
I’m sorry guys I went to the game and they put up that piss poor effort. I’ve got to stop going to games in person
Well, they made it close with the Jays playing like dogshit. I guess that’s a positive
PP has to figure it out my god.
Quick Takes:
1. Didn’t mind that shot by Porzingis.
2. Hopefully Joe makes some more adjustments and lets our defensive length players play more in games like this
3. Pritchard’s time is running out in regards to showing up
Pretty acceptable loss. Close, against an elite team, on the road. Lets get our shit together back in Boston.
Can’t be mad at that attempt. Porzingis was the right call. He highest scorer tonight.
We win if Jaylen scores 15. A perfectly reasonable expectation for a player with his salary.
Why isn’t Sam getting more minutes? PP is a bust.
Hauser already earn PP spot
For anyone freaking out this was a terrible game for the Celtics very rarely do brown and Tatum both have off games if we hold the sixers to 106 points we will win a majority of the time
You gotta wonder if the players actually dig the analytic offense.
I just said it, but the real concern is this. The offense is built entirely around getting 40 good 3 point shots up, and hoping analytics take you home.
This isn’t an opinion or interpretation. It’s right from the camel’s mouth. Joe said it on the Reddick podcast. Their offense is based on analytics, specifically, assuming you’re going to have the best chance to win if you take 40 3’s a game.
If the 3 point shot isn’t falling, players get discouraged and it takes the wind out of it.
What got them back into the game? Analytics. 3’s finally fell..then they try.
Look. Im all for playing the analytics game. 40 3s a night? Good shooters? You’re gonna win a lot. But when your shooters aren’t hitting, you gotta find another way to generate POINTS. Instead, they just keep looking for 3s.
Why do people call it a “fake comeback” when they played great down the stretch and genuinely had a chance to win? Just because they didn’t complete it, doesn’t make it “fake”.
Mazzulla is having one of his twitchy, uber-defensive, barely concealed rage, fake confident, postgame press conferences.
Still don’t know about this guy.
Where are the PP fanboys? Dude is trash and should be playing for Zhejiang Golden Bulls in China. Not even an end of the bench player in the NBA
