MY FUCKING GOD DOES JOE NOT ACTUALLY WATCH THE GAME ???
Everyone could see who didn’t have it, yet he continues to leave Al and smart and jaylen out there for huge minutes at the end and we get ZERO buffalo down the stretch when he was playing great.
Grant had a short good stretch, BUT THEN WE HAVE TO ENDURE THE FUCKING GRANT WILLIAMS EGO SHOW TO MOTIVATE THEIR BEST PLAYER WHILE HE CRUMBLES AT THE END.
Jaylen was abysmal. Al might never make another shot. Smart literally should have not played in the fourth.
I’m fucking stunned, this guy is either too stubborn or too fucking idiotic to be a head coach at this point in his career.
There was no reason we should have lost this, we had plenty of guys playing well, we just didn’t play them enough.
All we fucking had to do was not lose the 4th by 9 points.
We had a 12 point lead in the 4th at one point.
Season.
Spo is out coaching Joe
That’s what this really is.
Truly pathetic
Welp, see you next season guys
Well that sucked.
this team must have been sent to the Ja Morant school of fumbling with how they choked that late game lead
Unacceptable
Go Nuggets
The inability to have a consistent closer or killer mentality is this teams downfall. Can have all the talent in the world but there’s no stepping on the opposition’s throat and it’s maddening.
This team’s a fucking embarrassment
Miami just wants it more than we do.
We had a good play with the high pick and roll all fucking night and Joe just went away with it. This shit just cements how much of a bad coach Joe is. Learning moments, but not in this pivotal shit. This is just sad how lost he is out there.
Also, Grant, shut the fuck up.
Gotta say, I didn’t have “Grant Williams baiting Jimmy Butler into becoming a monster” on my bingo card for creative ways the Celtics blow leads.
It’s like Joe makes a game plan for substitutions and refuses to deviate from it. White, Brogdon, and Rob all playing well but sat on the bench way too long for some reason.
Also Grant going after Jimmy was dumb as fuck.
TD Garden is one of the easiest places to play at
Not playing Rob in the last 6 minutes is all time dumb decision.
29% from 3 in a must win home game. Pain.
Rob should have closed the game out not Horford
Knew we were gonna lose as soon as I saw Grant talk shit
Monumental chokejob. Honestly impressive.
Wow they accidentally replayed game 1 instead of game 2– oh wait THE EXACT SAME SHIT HAPPENED AGAIN WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING
Rob cant win with these cats
“He was doing the electric slide” Lol great way to blow the chance to get back into the game
This team is so mentally weak it’s ridiculous. Maybe they can pull this off but holy fuck will it be painful
Celtics are 2-8 in their last 10 playoff games when they’re LEADING going into the 4th quarter
Joe taking them two timeouts home with him
what if instead of instead of talking trash, grant williams started passionately making out with jimmy butler instead? what would happen then?
Over under on Robinson or Vincent dropping 25 next game since these bozos can’t guard a traffic cone and their depth is actually earning their money. Oh and Spo is WORKING Joe.
Miami is going to eat them alive. Only thing going for them is they’re a road team. They have 1 more chance. Jimmy Butler isn’t going to choke 4 games away like we do if we’re down 0-3.
Just run the ball through Tatum all game, I don’t care how JB feels. Bench Al. I don’t care how he feels.
That’s the series right there. There is almost 0 percent chance we can win two in Miami. With the way we look, probably not even one. Sweep wouldn’t surprise me
people are gonna dunk on Grant for getting Jimmy fired up, but the rest of the Celtics look so fucking flaccid that I ain’t even mad; at least the dude is showing some emotion instead of quietly getting fucked by the Heat
Imagine losing a game when you keep jimmy under 30 and Lowry scores 0 points.
