« Last post by j804 on Yesterday at 09:13:21 PM »Definitely and one other quirk I’m not a fan of taking Tatum out early especially in the playoffs. I get it we killed them today and played a [dang] near perfect game but sitting your best player midway through the first quarter just seems head scratching to me. Especially against a better team as we advance, taking out your best player is a W for the opposition.A relief. Looks like someone adjusted. Coach credit?
It's hard to give credit for an adjustment that 90% of fans were calling for, and which should have been implemented in Game 2.
This is where I'm at. The players responded well after the first quarter. The decision to go with an Al + Kornet combo was headscratching.
The adjustments that should have been made in game 2 were simple. Play smaller, faster. Contest the 3 point line better. Get into the ball more defensively.

NBA on CBS in the 80's was the GOAT especially when tommy heinsohn was calling games for CBS
That intro actually is my favorite but figured the NBC one is more iconic. Cheesy 80's graphics but the music was pretty cool

« Last post by tazzmaniac on Yesterday at 09:10:52 PM »LOL!! How many players on this team were on the 2018 and 2019 teams.This team is not just good in home court at allFor Miami-Boston it's literally "home court DISADVANTAGE"
Boston is 6-2 AT Miami in playoff games since 2022, but Miami is 6-3 at TD Garden in same span.
yup it is nuts. makes us winning game 4 even more important. go up 3-1 and hope to close out at home albeit as you said we are not good at home against miami
2018 - Lost to Cavs on their homecourt
2019 - Lost all the home games against Bucks in a gentleman sweep.
2022 - Lost in the finals in their home court
2023 - Lost game 7 against the Heat

Celtics Talk / Re: Fire Joe! ... or critique Joe ... or defend Joe... or worry about Joe's coaching
« Last post by green_bballers13 on Yesterday at 08:57:56 PM »The Celtics had the best offense in the NBA this year. Game 2 was terrible but can we please take a deep breath and have a memory that lasts longer than 2 days?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvwVc1JArjM
Joe Mazula offense in microscope
That rant is EXACTLY how I also feel watching this team.
The two superstars are dumb enough as it is. Add in a literally brain-dead coach and you have a huge cluster.
It's incomprehensible to me that players and coaches at this level are playing such bad basketball and seem oblivious to that fact.
If Brad is watching this and is not alarmed, then something is very wrong with our franchise.
A long memory is the problem. We all watched last year and are having flashbacks.
Is there a forum friendly term for people that have strong emotional reactions at the first glimpse of adversity? I think if we could come up with a common vocabulary, many would be less offended. I like snowflake, but that might be strong. Maybe something equivalent to woke?
