I woke up feeling very sad Saturday morning after Game 2, but after last night, I woke up this morning just casual. It's obvious they quit. And frankly, I'm souring on a lot of these guys. I'd still prefer to keep the Jays, White, Horford (as a role player beginning next season), but everyone else can be on the table for anything, especially Smart. And if Jaylen truly wants out, then whatever, you can trade him.

We simply can't roll with this same roster next season. And hate to say it, but this is not a mentally tough team. They act tough, and act like they've won it before, but they haven't and the moment they get punched in the mouth, they fold. Same thing happened in last year's Finals.

I'm not expecting Tatum to put up 50 every game, but he certainly can't be having these duds every other game, or poor starts like he did for most of the Sixers series. Look at what Jokic, Butler, etc. are doing these playoffs for example. It's not just about the stats, but consistency.

Our defense has been abysmal, Horford can't guard a chair, and yet Timelord languishes on the bench. Why? Because he doesn't brick 3's with the rest of the guys? It's not like we couldn't use his momentum-changing blocks and hustle plays. Nah.

Joe is an idiot and should be fired TODAY.

Muscala could also play. He can shoot and play as much D as Horford's been playing.

Mike muscala is the answer!

My god.

Down 0-3...yeah lets not do anything different. Surely AL will show us how elite of a shooter is in game 4.

Kevin Love is going to be out in game 4. Here we go!!!! LOL

It's amazing.  We're going to get swept by the #8 seed that is missing three of its rotation players.

I hope we can at least get one win.

What's crazy is that if we don't get a win, we will actually finish these playoffs with a losing record. Right now, we're 8-8. How many teams have made the conference finals and finished with a losing record?

I still can't believe the Cs played so pathetically. They quit on national television. They shouldn't be wearing Celtics jerseys if they aren't gonna compete.

Celtics were down 15 at halftime yesterday on the road.

Nuggets were down 15 at halftime today on the road

One team rallied and came back to win. The Celtics meanwhile got annihilated further in the 2nd half and fell behind 30+ and lost by nearly that margin

How are you guys feeling?

I was fine a couple of hours after it...I tend to get over these things pretty quickly. Still going to be cheering them on tonight. I believe (for one more game anyway)!! But I'm also looking forward to the upcoming soap opera drama when the offseason starts after tonight  :police:
