I’ve told yall for years that Smart is the reason this team loses. He literally will tip this team to failure when he chooses to shoot. He cannot shoot, he will never ever be a shooter.
Smart needed to be traded years ago
Pritchard will do amazingly well on a new team. Everyone will regret it when he’s traded and does well. C’s don’t know how to develop talent. See nesmith. No vision, only what is right in front of them.
So what's the problem?
Boston needs to wake up about having the worst starting point guard in the NBA.
Just look at this game against Denver and what Bobby is clamoring about scoring to help Brown and Tatum.
December exposed this teams glaring deficiency at the point. Imagine Brown and Tatum eliminated in the second round of the playoffs because Marcus Smart goes hero ball, 1-9, in the final five minutes of a game 7.🤮
I was right about December and I'm spot on about the runt of the litter Marcus Smart.
Best offense with 10 or 11 players. The worst with the teenager coach's 7 players. Pritchard or bust.
People don't get it. Damn, at 62 and watching the NBA for 50 years. I have never seen a player like Pritchard. Age 5, he was working it. High School dominated. College, dominated. NBA dominated,
then put on the bench? Are you kidding me, the coach sucks. Period. The Celtics suck with out him.
You play Pritchard and Kornet 22 minutes a game. DAH? WTF. Kornet is the bomb. Grant is a piece of sh*&, argue with the ref's because you punched a guy in the face. What??? That's the game right??
Idiot. Don't bring the team down because your a dick, who can't dribble. Nobody on the floor in the
last 8 minutes could dribble. It's over. Pritchard and Kornet need to go to another team, so we can
watch the best in the NBA. Ball Hog NBA, does not win Championships.
The 30 25
Hauser to the bench or Maine. Can PP get some minutes at all? He brings energy. Blake had 6 fouls to spend bothering Jocic but not used. RWill looking lost out there. Smh? Joe? John’s right it’s Jt, JB, and Brogdon as offensive options. Grant is meh.
Maybe Brogdon is getting frustrated. They dont rotate the ball well. Imagine 2 guys averaging 20 shots per game.. Brooklyn is better in sharing the blessing than Boston. KD and Kyrie average lesser attempts hence more food for their teammates everybody happy. Bostons ball movement stops 70 percent of the time when their superstars hold the ball. The coach must find a way to get the others involve. Also Smart has a tendency not to play smart basketball. He tends to shoot more the more he misses.
Guys, Brogdon didn't look 10 years older. He looked almost confused and SCARED. It was bizarre. He would drive to the hole and instead of trying to finish, he'd immeduate pass it out. Or when he couldn't get all the way there, instead if shooting his very effective floater he'd pass out. But he wouldn't even LOOK at the rim, he immediately looked around for help l even though he didn't need any. Like he didn't know what to do. I hope it's just the illness.
sneaky bad JT game. turnovers. settled early. didnt get others involved. general bad decision making
we didnt guard the 3 great. not a great defensive game. they didnt seem connected on that end. everybodys trying to make a play n not on the same page.
whites been playing great other than 3pt%. but tatum n brown seem fit to keep him(and everybody else) in a spot up role. biggest problem is lack of connective-ness and jays dominating the rock. jt doesnt screen anymore
rob was amazing last yr in help on jokic
nuggets hit shots too. when other teams hit shot we get discouraged easy
brad is going to go crazy at the deadline. would love to see gallo + kornet + filler for mo bamba n hauser + pritchard for jalen mcdaniels
they have the horses. the key to this team is CHEMISTRY. 5 out offense n their defense depend of players taking initiative n working together n we take our cues from the jays there
you got brogdon for nothing for a reason. id trade him for the right pieces in a heartbeat
HOW TF WE DOMINATE LAST YR W/O BROGDON?! offensively at that! this is not a brogdon problem
trade pp n hauser n picks for a wing and gallo kornet n picks for a big
jokic best decision maker in the league
my fault to spam the comments but i missed the live talking w family lol
we started sucking on offense right when they put tatum in the mvp convo
i think coaching is a concern from a personal standpoint not even xs n os. ime wouldve got in that ass
The problem is Marcus Smart!
Blows my mind how that guy is still on this team after the finals.
There's no excuses, he's no starting point guard on even the worst teams!
Psychological: If 3s are not falling, Celts need to see the ball go thru the hoop… Go to the effin hole… Start the game small (aka inside 5 feet) … So damn elementary, GEEEEZUS !!
Nov: "They are miles ahead of everyone!"… Dec: "it's just one game!" … Jan: "Well they are part of the contenders so that's good!?😬"… Feb: "Oh ohh" … May: Cancun
Something is telling me they will go .500 the rest of the season at best
The Brooklyn soap opera is better at this point than your Celtics. That's all you need to know. Magical 2022 Is over and their winning might be too. Reverse of last season is looking more and more likely 😬 and its all because of Mazzula
John loves Rob like a long lost son😂😂
This is the bad old Celtics. The Pre-Ime Celtics. It’s not about 3 pointers. It’s about Ime. Ime got these guys to play team ball. That’s hard to do with young stars. It’s the Brown Tatum show again. Defense wins games and Championships.
Mazzula is absolutely clueless and cannot make apropriate in game adjustments
coaching is the problem John you need to admit it
they will never bench Smart because you guys keep talking about how great he is- an all star does not shoot 1 for nine
You can still see this teams losses coming in the first quarter and brown does another no show after a hot start
Joe seems really stubborn. He hasn’t really changed anything since beginning of year. No clue why Rob comes off bench/play more minutes. Horford should come off the bench or we should play double bigs again.
We’ve beat Denver 6 times in a row, they’re the hottest team in the league and we’re bound to lose one. We’re in a slump with a new coach, and had an awful shooting night. This comment section is the most reactionary group of whiners I swear.
I don’t understand how Bobby can look at some of the losses the Celtics have had and say “they’re gonna win the rest of this road trip”. How many times have the Celtics shown that they can lose to any team. They lost b2b home games to the Orlando Magic who were missing like 5 players. The team has not distinguished themselves from the rest of the league like people believed.
Jaylen Brown can go 0-8 from 3 and still finish the game shooting 50% overall.
The negative reactions after the Celtics lose a game is unreal. They literally just beat the Bucks and Clippers. Every team has a bad game. 26-11 is much better than 18-19 from last season. Relax lol.
How you let bones hyland get 25 🧐?
Josue believes in Joe more than anyone else in the world. He keeps saying Mazzulla going to do this and do that. When is he going to do these things? The season is moving fast man.
Just a bad day at the office. However. the Celtics need a True big man. So when their outside game is off. They can work the inside.* Brad Steven need to pickup Boogie Cousins asap. So he can get some reps in before the playoffs.. just in case R Williams is not healthy or reinjury himself. Tatum and Brown are working to hard on defense helping Al Horford rebound. Causing them to lose their legs early. If the Celtics do not pickup a TRUE big man this so far successful season will be just like last year. The Celtics also should pickup Miles Bridges- strength in numbers. The Celtics only have two sure scorers.
It obvious Brown is that dawg, when the game gets tough. Also, he's inside game is better than Tatum. It hilarious how bad the media is SNUBBING him. I understand Tatum is better a better face for Boston. Because of Brown stances on certain issues and Browns image. You might not like what Iam saying, but I ain't lying. FACTS DATE STAMP 1/2/23. See you playoff time.
I really like when they put brogdon out there w Tatum in the 2nd unit. They’ve been putting him in w brown a lot. Not a good mix
