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

Where's the TO?

Just as Scall was passionately saying the Cs can’t rely on Joe to save them, they have to save themselves, Joe decides to bail them out as they looked totally inept and clueless. Not befitting a team with championship aspirations unable to stop a run

I really don't understand Joe's change in lineup at the half.  We started the game well with Hauser.  PP is great off the bench.  Wonder what the thought process was.

I’m guessing it’s experimentation with these so-called meaningless games at the end of the season. Except for fans, there are no meaningless games

Like, how many times do you have to fail with your philosophy before you change your ways? We've clearly been off and tentative since the half started, yet Joe just sat on his hands the entire time with no timeouts or adjustments as they went on a 19-4 run.

And the problem is this isn't just a regular season thing either. He does this in the playoffs, too. It's not freaking rocket science, man.

While I don’t care that much, since they don’t, but how do you not call a timeout?

[tenn_smoothie]

We have actually almost blown a 30-point lead ?
Is this the twighlight zone ?

[mobilija]

Pritchard was getting torched on defense

[SCeltic34]

Righting the ship after the timeout.  Who'd have thought.

[ozgod]

They’re taking it more serious now…more urgency

[jpotter33]

And a quick 6-0 run out of the timeout. It must seem like magic to Joe.

EDIT: 8-0 run.

[jpotter33]

What in the heck is Joe doing? Why would you take out Tatum at this point with us fighting off an extended run? We give the 8-0 run right back when you take him out.

Just a terrible Joe night thus far after some initial good decisions.

Always some deadbeat nohoper that starts sonning us…I guess it’s this krecji’s turn

My conclusion is he cares less about winning the game and more about experimenting

[celticinorlando]

This is pretty disappointing.

No way this game should be a game

[SHAQATTACK]

The old sleeping disorder lack of concentration has once again reared its ugly head with this team.
