Boston fans and the media deserve every bit of suffering… be humble
Tatum evades all criticism.
there is nothing wrong with the Celtics. This was a grinding series and the Heat simply have more grinders going right now.
Jaylen Brown is a turnover machine. It was a huge problem last year and he did NOTHING to correct it. He puts his head down and tries to drive, he can't keep his head up and dribble, he is a horrible passer. AND btw he won't play honest defense.
That should say how hard 3 0 down is to come back from! Props to Boston!
The Celtics lack a Jimmy BUCKETS.
You can't have 2 inconsistent stars as your main players. They should really sign and trade Brown for either another star wing or a frontcourt guy. Robert Williams is a great defensive center but he's just so brittle that they can't play him consistently. Mikal bridges is a good candidate for a good scorer and defender that can replace brown.
Everyone was so ready for Miami to take this win 😂 surprise !!
Lillard would be a perfect fit if they were to trade Jaylen Brown 🤞
Boston is the definition of Great Talents with no Heart, They lack experience & leadership. And the Miami are just pure dogs that keep on grinding.
They don't mind losing is my opinion.
Say it with me … a point guard
with Udoka they were in January outside of top 8 in the East, after Smart called out Tatum and Brown they started to play
It’s crazy how ugly their offense looked! They just pass it to one dude mostly Taytum and brown and they just iso and shoot a 3 or mid range shot
Celts are soft when it matters most. I don’t see this group ever winning a championship .
Offensive executions are horrible and the defense lacks dogs with heart🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
They don't have a point guard
Jimmy matched Tatum
Caleb outplayed Brown
Bam outplayed Smart
Gabe outplayed White
Lowry outplayed Horford
Duncan outplayed RW3
Max outplayed Brogdon
The main issue for the Celtics was the fact that the Heat were just better throughout the series.
Duh a point guard
As a heat fan that has watched my team battle the Celtics these last 3 out of 4 playoffs, I think they desperately need a point guard to calm things down and setup Tatum and brown
Tatum and Brown are not super stars. They are number 2 and number 3 options. Smh. Jokic, Giannis, LBJ, these are super stars.
Celtics lack a TRUE Point Guard & a veteran voice
Udoka….that’s what’s missing
J. Brown turned into Jordan Poole
Yeah, they need a coach.
They don't have a true playmaker or point guard. They've never truly addressed it since Rondo left. They've done a bunch of patchwork solutions: Isiah Thomas, Kyrie, Kemba, Smart, and Tatum as a point forward but none of them has been sustainable.
They're lacking the mental toughness that Udoka brought to the table!
The term "Great" gets used too much. They are an extremely good team but NOT a great team. Game 7 proved it!
They have individuals with talent, but they are not a good TEAM, forget a great team. That's nonsense.
As punishment the Celtics should send Jaylen Brown to the Mavericks for his play in this series.
Blow it up already! They have peaked as a duo
Miami role players are the Referries as Boston got momentum and cut the lead they called fouls (travel, offensive etc) to kill the run and Butler out of every 3 shots he lands on the floor like he got punch and he runs with the ball on the hand like a running back and this goes back to the bubble
Could you imagine Dennis Johnson having green hair nuff said
They need to have a "no heart " all nba headlined with Jalen brown and Anthony Davis
They need to get Antetokounmpo.
Every espn title says boston celtics, heat never get respect
Jaylen Brown has weak handles.
LETS GO HEAT!!!
They are lacking a better coach, that’s all.
Why are they so focused on the losing team?
