Its funny this thread is the first thing I saw. Was busy last night but I record every game on the dvr to watch later if I cant catch the game. I havent missed a minute of a Celtics game in 10-15 years maybe. I try not to check social media to spoil it so its like watching live but even if I find out they lost I still sit through and watch.
Last night I checked the score and saw they lost another close one but when I saw that they gave up a 20-5 run to end the game I asked myself "is this worth even watching?" I just find myself so p'd off watching the stupidity that it ruins my nights so should I spend 2 hours watching? Luckily I can usually come here and vent with you guys and it really does help alot and for that im appreciative of this community.
Its so frustrating watching them attack the paint in the 1st and 3rd quarters just to throw up brick after brick in the 2nd and 4th. I know these guys are good enough to be great and it just feels like the coach is doing a terrible job. I hate the defensive strategy, the offensive strategy is nonexistent, and the lineups are just baffling half the time. Then when you hear the coach asked why we stopped attacking the paint when we were in the bonus for the last 8 minutes (charlotte game) and he blames the players (for the 10th time) I just shake my head. YOU are the head coach, if they arent listening to you then yank them from the game and put someone in who will. Hold these young men accountable. We have the 2nd best FT shooting team in the league and we dont take advantage of the bonus??
And the shot selection is horrific. When you see Jaylen run up and brick 3 straight contested 3s and hes clapping on the sidelines I lose hope. It's almost as if thats the strategy he told them to do. I said it in the summer that we needed a vet coach to handle the young egos but I was willing to give coach a chance. But about a month into the season I saw the writing on the wall, hes just not a good coach at all. We lose such winnable games its infuriating. Especially teams who are without their star player/s. Then you have guys like Embiid straight ROASTING our strategy post game. If its obvious to opposing teams and their players shouldnt it be obvious to our team? I know it is for me.
Brown, Tatum, and Rob Will are studs and I know we can build around them so im trying to keep faith. They just need the proper guidance when they get that tunnel vision. Although Tatum was 0-6 from three he had a great stat line and almost had a triple double, he has the skills to be a future MVP. I just wish we would get away from the iso ball.
But with that said, im a glutton for punishment so I will still probably end up watching the game today LOL
