I have been a Cs fan since I was 7 (1981). Been through the 80's dynasty...through the drylands of the 1990s...the big 3...the rebuild...next year is our year...no more James in the East...

This year is the first time in a long time watching them gives me no joy and makes me angry.
Feel like I want it more than they do. I am frustrated. Disgruntled, mad, disappointed. Just expected more than this...especially this far into the season.
Lol...ROFL....

1st time in a long time? 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

CIO...you've been angry and b!tching at the Celtics going all the way back to the 2009 season.

It's been a decade my man.

Anyone mind giving me a recap of the game? I know we played like Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. but I still want to know who did well and who didn't. Just hope we can get our Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. sorted out by the end of the season.

This was perhaps the most embarrassing performance in recent memory, maybe since those multiple 2017 ECF thrashings.

I mean they came out so lazy and flat, I don’t care who wasn’t playing. The guys that played were trash, especially the supposed pillars Hayward and Horford.

How many times did they give up on defense or rebounds? These guys are clearly not having fun.

The environment has clearly become toxic and this is not something Stevens has had to deal with in his coaching career.

Expectations have absolutely gotten the best of this team. There’s still time to right the ship, but they certainly need to right this in a big way.

We can point fingers at whoever, but the truth is besides Morris and I suppose Kyrie (fine, Smart and Williams get a pass too), literally every other player has not come close to expectations. Everyone is underperforming, including the coaching staff.

I get that Ainge’s hands are kind of tied at the moment (and if he’s putting all his eggs in the AD basket and this season slips away, he BETTER make it happen), as he can only really add a piece via the MLE. But too many unhappy players on this team and they are not playing within a system.

Stevens has to go back to the drawing board, this isn’t working.

Hire Bill Belichick part-time. If it's laziness and uninspired basketball, he'll grind the heck outta these folks, bench them, or trade 'em.

Just a terrible game. How do you come out in the 3rd quarter and get outscored by 23 points? That is nearing worst ever territory.

I agree with others that personnel changes need to be made, but are almost impossible to make with AD aspirations. Ainge is between a rock and a hard place. At this posing, I say just get below the luxury tax and so the best you can in the playoffs.

Not that this year is a lost year, but the addition of Hayward and the re-addition of Irving has totally screwed up our young, talented bunch. How these guys could be so mentally weak is beyond me.

I’m with LB - if all else fails (and that is the direction we appear to be heading) at least we have Tatum.

Love our C's...always have..always will. But this is what they remind me of right now



This pic is indicative of SOME of our Beloved C's. Certain players have BIG GAMES vs BKN (but we STILL lose)....and then they get on TV and state that we need togetherness from TOP to BOTTOM......

There are certain players that have this toilet paper called SELFISHNESS stuck to their shoes and don't know it. Have been TOLD of the paper but some still refuse to remove it, for whatever reason.

Definitely Kyries fault we lost tonight.
A true leader should be on the court and not somewhere else in street clothes when the game is on.
Besides that, recently, I can feel it through the screen, that he clearly infected our youngsters with invisible mind poison and with them being young and so easy to spoil, they just can't defend themselves. It makes me feel sad. Youth is our future after all.
This is just another proof that leads me to believe that Kyrie isn't the one for us.
We should let him walk and not make an offer once the FA starts. 170 Mil $? Too much money can corrupt people and Kyrie definitely doesn't need more corruption.
Also with KI leaving for NY or another place would make AD much more willing to come here.
I understand that some will say that Irving's usual efficient scoring and creating is useful, but what is the sense of it all if he doesn't win the championship 5 months before the actual finals? I mean c'mon, let's be real.
His celebrated 1-1 ability is nothing that Tatum can't do.
I saw a video where Tatum hit similar shots during the practice.
Yes, he practices those. Probably more than Kyrie who drives it a lot and tries those fancy floaters instead.
I have seen guys shoot their teams toward victory, but when has anyone floated his team toward victory?
Never, that's when.
With Kyrie dribbling the ball so much it takes away opportunities for players like Terry, who showed us last year what he can do. In the playoffs.
He was Scary Terry back then, now it is more like Sour Cherry Terry.

Anyway, I just had to get this off my chest, it bothered me.
With all of these attacks concentrated toward other players and not Kyrie, who is the real problem here.

This is the opposite and just blatantly wrong. Just plain bias that you absolutely lost credibility in my eyes. Even some of the staunches Kyrie haters say he is a very good offensive player, and as of now, Tatum has nothing on him.

"saw videos of practice" you make me laugh. You are basing your statements on few youtube clips. We have seen Marcus Smart hit shots in practice that Steph Curry regularly make in game. I guess that makes Smart better than Curry? See your logic here?

"A true leader should be on the court and not somewhere else in street clothes when the game is on." **** we all know Kyrie is in the arena, Wanamaker just said so. Unless you are privy to whatever Kyrie is doing, its wrong to judge him on this basis. What if he was given treatment for his quad? Lots of players, champions and MVPs even, sometimes do not stay on the court when injured.

Terry showed what he can do in the playoffs? Did you even watch every game or your brain just pick what to remember? Where was he on the road? and in game 7 at home? He got opportunity this game, but lo and behold, Wanamaker outplayed him.

Kyrie leaving would make AD want to come here? AD and Kyrie are friends, if AD comes here its most likely because of Kyrie.

When has anybody floated his team to victory? Watch Tony Parker in SA.

 "If he doesn't win the championship 5 months before the actual finals?" this right here is pure garbage. No one wins the championship 5 months before the actual finals. Even GS with their historic regular season record got defeated by the Cavs.

One last thing, the attacks are not concentrated on other players and not Kyrie. You could lump this post with all the other "blame kyrie" posts out there alongside threads like "Kyrie Irving is becoming like Cancer"

Gotcha!  ;D
We lost 3 in a row and I had to blow some steam, so I tried with humor.
Glad I made you laugh!

three uninspired losses in a row to the 6, 7, & 9 seeds, who are all far lesser in talent but greater in heart, desire, & teamwork. this is on brad & this embarrassing team is a direct reflection of its coach: soft.

nothing changes until personnel changes are made, which may include coaching.

Agree.  I love cbs but this team needs a leader.  He is not that leader...not yet.  He’s gotta show some [dang] emotion and get p---ed.  He looks just as lost as the players out there.
