The SADDEST part about all this, is it kind of shows that we are BETTER than this Miami Heat team.

Our effort, especially in the 2nd half, is just excruciatingly paltry. All credit to Miami for putting in more effort, but we are better than their team and it has been showing. We just don't have the mentality to do it the entire 48 minutes.

Better to be yelling and throwing crap in the locker room than not.

I'd be more peeved if there wasn't emotion being shown.

Yeah I feel the same way

If the heat win this series, and we have seen no reason why they won't, there is no stopping the Lakers from the title.

Hot heat or not, the Lakers will beat this heat team.  Too much experience on the Lakers to not do what the Celtics have done the last two games, ie fumble away leads and playing soft in crunch time.  I don't mind that much us losing to the Heat but I don't want the Lakers to win the title again.  ugg

Tatum has become a prima donna.  Stevens is scared to put him in his place.

The Heat played so much harder than the Celtics in the 2nd half. Really feel that the difference in effort was why they won. Along we terrible rotation decisions by Stevens.

While all the screaming and equipment being tossed around in the room, Brad probably just have his hands in his pockets staring at them like a ridiculous passive person  >:(

Lol we all know that this is EXACTLY what happened, too. Because that's just Brad's MO, and it's not working.

@celtics
Brad Stevens: “We’re not beating this team if we’re not completely connected on both ends of the court. So we’ve got to get back to being that ... We’re going to have to fight to get back into this series.”

Oh brother

Yeah if we play our best we can win this series.  But at this point our team my need to go to therapy to figure out how to stop throwing games away.  We just have no answer during crunch time (Jaylen's play at the end of the 4th was the exception)

Sorry for the curse word.

apparently they are still fighting as per Washburn

Its because you have a 17 point lead.  And even 5 point lead with 3min and change to go.  And as Heat raise the temp,  Celts buckle on both ends

Its disgusting


It would actually be hilarious if all the yelling, screaming and throwing stuff turns out to be Brad Stevens.

For sure.  I wanted to throw my TV out of my window after a major defensive miscommunication in Game 1 OT, leading to Crowder being wide open and making a 3.

If they're not mad at themselves and each other then something is wrong.

Yeah, and that's what still gives me hope.  That & the fact I think they're still the better team.  They just gotta get the mental part going.

Brad has not lost this team..... HE NEVER had the team. He is too docile for a coach. We have said this over and over again, but some of you disagreed. Now that you need a coach to step in, you have NOTHING.

I mean... We are in the conference finals for the 3rd time in 4 years.

Tonight's loss was bad but some of these takes are over the top.

And we’re gonna lose for the 3rd time in 4 years

Kemba needs to learn the basics on guarding the p n r rather than flailingly chasing people around. Drives me nuts.
what I noticed on several of Bam's pick and rolls is he pushes/grabs/forearms the guard defender (typically Kemba) so that Bam has a clear path to the bucket and the defender has no chance to get even or ahead of him.  should be an offensive foul with the grab or forearm but it'll never be called

Brad rah rah talks is too soft

We have to be connected on both ends??  no kidding

How about,  I take blame for tonights loss??

like letting HEat score 37 in the third. And not calling a timeout.  Yelling at his team to wake up??

What else can 2020 go wrong? Lakers winning banner #17 and hearing awful/idiotic Lakers fans screaming they're "the greatest NBA franchise of all time screw the Celtics they suck"

He has no control of the team.... I think he is scared to rip the players or the refs. When was the last time he spent a T TO PROTECT HIS TEAM?
