Celtics (57-14) at Hawks (31-39) Game #72 3/25/24

[Silas]

Two 40% 3-pt shooters out tonight and Sam goes 2/10 and PP goes 1/5.  And the Hawks went 50% from 3 (18/36).  Not the end of the world.

Close games late the Celtics wilt most often.

[jpotter33]

I was all for getting close game reps, but ahhhh you need to practice some sets.

That's what I get for defending Joe.

It's absolutely infuriating.

Joe's entire philosophy seems to be laissez faire in games. Why even show up to the games? If you're continuing to see the same thing over and over and over again yet fail to do anything about it, why are you on the sidelines even showing up to games?

Do your dang job. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that these guys need much more oversight and direction out there, especially in end game scenarios. Letting them just iso themselves to death is just so ridiculously incompetent by Joe.

It is when the Celtics can’t compensate for it by running good offense

[celticinorlando]

They still do not know how to win close games. They still lack a killer instinct to put teams down.

So basically the whole season comes down to if they make 3 pointers, right?  Glad people are starting to see the reality.

shoulda hired nick nurse when we had the chance

Joe, why didn’t you tell them to box out!

Dude you can't defend his late game meltdowns. He's failed at implementing late game offense. These guys look no different feomm2 years ago in the clutch. They look confused in the clutch again.

Joe could go out there and stab Tatum in the knee and Goldy would still defend him. 

I'm convinced that he's related to Joe in some way. The only logical explanation.

Three missed free throws in the 4th quarter. Make those and you win

Watch the hawks come out vs Portland and play like the g leaguers they are

This was an absolute garbage loss. About as bad as they get and a replica of several of there losses this season. No excuses should be given whatsoever. You are right though, not the end of the world. The rest of this regular season essentially means nothing. Its championship or bust come playoffs though and unfortunately they play terrible under pressure.

[SparzWizard]

Unacceptable loss. Blow 30-point lead to a play-in team.

More concerning- these choking and lead-blowing will bleed over into the playoffs. Same ol story.

[celticinorlando]

The line up to start the 4th quarter and allowed the hawks to get out to a 15-5 lead in the quarter was criminal.

Joe once again showed he’s still a liability.

we need good journalists to destroy joe in print and in post game interviews
