They stopped sharing the ball they alm think they’re stars success has come to their heads
Time to get Imdoka back
Changing lineups or tweaking minutes won’t improve this team much believe it or not this team is lacking a leader and it’s effecting everyone’s play. I find it crazy everyone is quick to point fingers at smart and Grant when the “best player” (same guy that went MIA in the finals) has been garbage since January. I blame Joe and Tatum mainly, other than JBs tunnel vision nothing else really negatively impacts this team more than Tatums inconsistent effort and Joes horrendous game plan
I think Joe would say, "id rather lose the season than sit marcus in late games".. well something along that lines.
Just start D White and go from there…
Feels like this team is in panic mode ever since the Nets loss. The direction of the team is going nowhere fast, and pretty nuts.
Smart giveth and Smart taketh….lately Smart taketh
Hate to say it….this season is over for the chip! Missing Rob is the nail in the coffin.
Whenever celtics lost, these boston media always have a panic discussion 😂, man magic swept the season out of you! This is nothing new 😂, Just focus on games ahead and into the playoffs. 😂
I really don’t understand the Celtics. It seem like at the beginning of the season. They were very eager to get back to the playoffs but now the playoffs are right around the corner and they’re losing the drive. Huh??
Without Pritchard, a Champion. You have no speed, no hustle, no will to win. Pritchard took the
Celtics to the finals last year and up 2-1. Watch the damn video. Watch the video of the first 26 games
this year. Study, WTF, who does not watch every game 10 times at least. Pritchard or lose. Face it. Watch some videos and learn, or do another job. You can make burgers and fry's Bazooka Joe. Maybe.
Rest of the team is fighting for a championship while Smart is still fighting for his role and forcing the issue to stay revelant. Brogdon and white outplayed him, good thing for him Joe is afriad to bench him in crunch time and would rather take the L.
White was in foul trouble the whole game though so his mins had to get cut.
Na bro Grant is missing rebounds, fouling, turning it over and can’t shoot a 3 foot jumper. Free throws are bricks and he’s faking a injury now. Idk what happened to him but he looks over weight and it shows. He moves so slow compared to the other players. I wish he will wake up during the playoffs.
Finally! someone is calling out Smart!
Joe needs to seriously consider him as the 2nd or 3rd option. This team is blowing it with Jackball and BAAAAAD coaching! SMH!
Nice thumbnail of the Tinman and the Scarecrow. Tatum has no heart and Smart has no brain.
I think they gonna turn it on late
Celtics are in 2nd or 3rd they'll have to play the 76ers & Bucks. If they're in first? The 76ers and Bucks have to battle. The way we're playing? Get the #1 seed….
It’s time for this line up change.
Brogdan
White
Brown
Tatum
Hordford
Grant has been terrible for months, that's why he's been benched(even with Mazzulla's inconsistency as a coach), plus his total immaturity against Cleveland. I also think it's a big mistake not to play Muscala. I think he could really help.
IMHO, Stevens made two critical mistakes. First, he should've had Stoudamire as head coach(because of his gravitas as a former player and necessary toughness), instead of Mazzulla and second he should've been more aggressive in getting Poeltl, knowing that Rob was never going to be healthy and to give Horford more of a break.
