I think we all deserve an applause here after dealing with that frustrating season and series...

Wannamaker should've played!

Bud literally outcoached Steven's so badly, it's like he did it with his eyes closed.

More like the bucks are much better.  But okay.

Stevens roster management was exposed this year. These guys walked all over him.

Or they wer never that good and never fit properly.

They only didn't fit properly due to p--- poor talent management and coaching. The stylistic fit is there and capable of working; it's the personality and character fit that was suspect, which is something that can be managed by effective coaching and leadership. Brad Stevens single greatest mistake is not defining the roles early on, which has just allowed the chemistry issues to fester and exacerbate all season long.

Show me the complementary players that know their role.  Show me the specialist that can really really shoot.  The fit of these players is awful.

THEY DON'T KNOW THEIR ROLE BECAUSE THE COACH NEVER DEFINED THEM EARLY ON! That's the entire problem, and that's why you had the young/old dichotomy in the locker room early on.

The level of talent is absolutely there, and while not an absolutely perfect fit, their talents are complementary enough to work well together. The talent has just been completely mismanaged and in a p--- poor offensive philosophy, which has served as a barrier to these guys meshing.

Buddy, the coach doesn’t define their roles.  The players given their skillset do.  Great teams happen organically.

Lol that's why Giannis and the Bucks were so good last year with Kidd and Prundy. Just a coincidence that a coach of the year comes in and they maximize the talent they have and become the best team in the NBA. 

To be fair, adding Lopez and a few other players certainly didn't hurt, but the biggest difference in that team is much better coaching and leadership and a much better offensive philosophy.

TP

Thanks!

I’m cool with us trading literally everyone to be honest.   Blow it up.  Start over.   I’m officially warming up the engine on the 2019-20 tank bandwagon.

I suppose you want to replace Danny with Hinkie to make your dreams come true too.

if Danny retires we should give it a strong look.

not to fall for your blatant troll-baiting but no way this franchise would sink to that level of blatant tanking for years in the hopes of getting lucky in the draft.  disgusting embarrassment of a front office run by Hinkie.

What were Bucks fans chanting anybody know?

Crazy to think Morris, Horford, Kyrie, Rozier might all be gone next year if Davis does not come with Kyrie saying he will stay. We could be lottery bound 😐 or 8th seed to face Bucks in first round.

Not going to enjoy the offseason.

I really hope the Toronto Raptors devour this fraudulent #1 seeded team.

I hate anything Wisconsin. Green Bay Packers. Aaron Rodgers. Cheese heads. Milwaukee Bucks.

[slamtheking]

well, at least some of my Brewers are in the stands.  only likable players there tonight unfortunately

[satch]

Couple of observations. 1-Why would Kyrie want to come back? Why would the Celtics want him back? 2-Utah's record was no different with or without Gordon and neither was the Celtics. Ultimately he did not change the record of either team.

Pesky scrubs!

I hate watching Kyrie so I honestly would rather have an 8th seed that tried hard.

My point is simple; there was a Grand Canyon type gap between these two teams.  That’s no coaching.

As for kid, I’m not saying there aren’t some terrible coaches out there. Just that Brad isn’t one of them. And giannis was half the player he is now when Kidd was there.  He’s now among the best in the world.  So it’s certainly not coaching that’s making them great.

paul pierce sucks

4 of 5 C's starters with more than a -20 in +/-.   that's pathetic.  such a disgraceful showing in an elimination game.
