This is the consequence if you letting the opponent creating flawless plays while the Cs were keep hitting unnecessary shots unenergetic movement and lazy defense
We had a championship team and Udoka ruined it. Hope he’s happy
It’s all fun and games until we get outplayed and sulk like 2 years olds and fail. They need to learn how to fail and get to back up be a damn man
actually they got 76 points in the 2nd half… 🤔
Bad coaching! Talent can only take you so far. The players wasn't prepared for the fast pace game of OKC. JB seemed like he was the only one mentally prepared for the game. JT and Smart played like crap, and I'm pretty sure they know it.
This team won't sniff the finals if they don't get their act together. Their bad habits are coming back to haunt them again this season. People annointed them champions this season when they haven't proven anything. Is this team for real or are they frontrunners who turtle when they get punched in the mouth?
If one of them say ‘we just couldn’t get in a rhythm’ at the post game presser I’m gonna lose it
Mazzulla gets too cute letting the team "play through" those 7, 10, 15 point runs and it has been absolutely burning them the last 15 games. That and the C's have absolutely no idea what to do when their 3s aren't falling. Maybe it's time to mix up the lineups? Should Brogdon start? I don't think they're getting enough out of him.
without Ime Udoka there is no defensive toughness.
Teams lose but giving up 150 points is just a disgrace.
Mazzula absolutely needs to be fired unless he can turn this team around real quick. Allowing the worst team in the league to score 150pts and blow you out by 33pts, when you have a fully healthy team that was the best defense in basketball last year and the best offense this year is absolutely inexcusable. Either reinstate Ime or have Brad come down and coach again or hire someone (maybe Quinn Snyder?). This team should not be getting blown out by anyone, let alone a bottom feeder like OKC
I worry that they are looking at another 3 game losing streak now – Dallas is next.
Brooklyn has won 12 in a row and is in the 1st place.
good ole mollywopping
JT and JB just aren't team players. Bird always sublimated his game for the team. These jokers do the opposite! Not a championship team. Hard to watch.
I hope they bring Ime back. Enough is enough. As a celtic fan thats watched many games one thing i always admired in the post big 3 era is our team rarely got blown out under brad or Udoka. Defense, hustle, adjustments, motivation is 100% on the coach and sleepy Joe is not vocal enough as the head coach. On top of that he rarely shows emotion and thats not a good thing
How many times do we have to say it? This team is over reliant on threes and over reliant on the Jay's. The Jay's jacked up 14 from three. (made 4).That equals the total for the rest of the entire team. And thats an average night for them. Grant Williams got one shot. When the Jay's were looking for and finding their teammates Williams Horford Hauser, Brogdon were all shooting close to mid 40's. Even Derek White was over 40. Jay's need to take less shots, especially less threes and set up some if the other guys and when they do focus on attacking the hoop and midrange where they both are much more efficient. Lazy offense and lazy defense too. They need a coach who has the balls to discipline them. I've lost a lot of confidence in Mazzulla. If a veteran coach was coaching this team they would be doing better. They've sucked since the Phoenix game. Reading their own press clippings.
Time to wake up C's. Giving 150 points to a not so good thunder team is totally unacceptable. I'm sorry to say Celtics are not a championship caliber team.
got to wonder what ime's reaction would be to the pathetic effort by the celts tonight, joe may not be tough enough
The key of beating Celtics is attacking the paint every possesion
The Okc is the number 1 in attacking the paint
Celtics is beginning to play selfish basketball they are not the same in their first 20+ games.. I fee that they will melt to their coming games.. I begin again to doubt on this team.. Mazulla is not a good coach, he dont know well to rotate his players im more on stoudomire coaching style.. He is a mire defensive minded than joe
Been getting spanked by bad teams for a month now.
Pathetic display from the coaching staff and the players. An MVP candidate in Tatum, all star in Jaylen, and DPOY in Smart got blownout without Shai.
wtf was that??….even the dee brown celtics never gave up 150 points smh
Thank you, Oklahoma City. I was not expecting that tonight. I thought the celtics had righted the ship after they demonished my boys on Christmas, but I see they are still having problems on the road. Looks like this number 1# seed is up for grabs
OK! Nets have to cease the moment and stay focus. Will be number 1 by next win.
It’s simple. It’s been simple for years.
Bench Smart, the slowest, worst shooter and guard on your team.
Play Pritchard, the fastest, best shooter on your team. And don’t tell me his defense is bad, it’s at least as effective as Smart’s, if not better.
Celtics coaches HAVE ALWAYS been stubborn about playing young athletic players and developing new talent. See Nesmith balling out in Indiana.
The Celtics management and/or coaching is DENSE AS F***.
Pay me a few grand and I’ll consult on the side game by game. GUARANTEE the record and performance will improve.
It’s really frustrating watching these low IQ rotations and minutes
Goddamn ime why the hell you need to go mess around where you work. Like whyyyy
They are playing like spoiled, entitled brats who just want to cash paychecks. This is not a one off — this is THE WAY THEY PLAY. Hey Eddie, who's trash now — Orlando or this group of incompetent head cases?
Brown has been the only one who has been consistent offensively but he still a problem of him not getting the ball enough for being so efficient. The bad habits from last year is coming back to get them. The crying n complaining to the ref, no toughness, there just so many little stuff that collectively hurting them. Not just players but coaching in coaching too.
Celtics targeted nobody is scared
