Celtics (1-3) at Bucks (3-1) Round 2 Game 5 5/8/19

Is Brad really calling a timeout to stop their run? 

He has a bunch saved up...

Practicing for next season

God, Tatum has been awful this series. Hopefully Griffin realizes that this is primarily a fit/mismanagement thing and still highly values him. Can't afford AD if it costs both Tatum and Brown.

Griffin might decide he'd rather Jaylen than Tatum as the primary piece lol 

I'm hoping Griffin LOVES Hayward.

I know he won't, but I can dream.

I think Tatum has the higher ceiling but Jaylen is the better two way player. I think most teams value the higher ceiling player over the better two way player.

This may be Brad's last game coaching the Celtics.

he's working on drawing up that 40 point play

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.

Irving with a 15-1-1 stat line on 6/21 shooting.

This may be Brad's last game coaching the Celtics.

Brad's going nowhere.

Fat lady is clearing her throat

[BackDoorCut]

Has Kyrie played his last minute in a celtics uniform?

[liam]

Long season. I hope next year goes better...

[SparzWizard]

Here comes the end of a beautiful Boston sports playoff run.

I think that's singing!

Only a few more minutes until Kyrie is the Knicks problem

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