Is this really going to become the new, infamous "any Terry Rozier fans" thread?  :P

Are there still Terry Turd fans?

And, yes, Brad should still be fired.  He's lucky he has so much talent at his disposal even if he is clueless on how to manage it.

If only we had a real coach like Doc Rivers.  His teams would never choke away big leads in playoff games. /sarcasm

Why is it because of talent when we win, but because of coaching when we lose?
Because people need someone to point the finger at when we lose, and even sometimes when we win  ;D

Eh, some of us have rightly been pointing the finger at Brad for years.  He's not an NBA level head coach.  He'd probably be a great assistant, given he is actually rather good at player development, but he should not be the lead guy.  He doesn't know how to manage big personalities and is terrible with in-game decisions.

Except Heat are winning because of coaching.

Besides, wasn’t the CBS narrative generally “he gets so much out of so little?” I think this is the first year where we actually have more talent.
So then by extension they lost because Brad outcoached Spo? Right?

What is your standard? I don't think he's fluked his way to 3 ECF appearances in 4 years. That doesn't just happen to someone who would "probably be a great assistant"

Ludicrous

I'm sure you have. I'm sure you were yelling "FIRE BRAD!!!" when he consistently overachieved with those IT teams. I'm sure when he took the 2018 team to the conference finals that you wanted his head. Give me a break.

Celtics win a game, keep Brad
Celtics lose a few close games , fire Brad


Wonder how Boston got such a bad reputation for some fans being toxic.....


Tell me a free agent coach who is better...you will not be able to because the list is zero....

Brad is the perfect coach to help us win a few titles in the coming years...he might even surprise this year too

An assistant... What a joke your post is. 90% of the teams in the league would dream to have CBS coaching their team and all the coach of the league have already made mistakes or have had bad periods... Including Pop and Kerr.
He overachieved each years since he is there but last year, the players, the coaches, the medias all around the league recognize his talent, not only on the paperboard...

You look at his image (like all the "boy scoot brat post"), not at who he really is as a coach and as a person. Blind people.

I can tell by all the personal attacks ya'll clearly have nothing better to say.  I'm not particularly fazed.  If you want to apologize and defend Brad's shortcomings, go ahead, it doesn't matter.  He's still the wrong guy for the job regardless.

Are we really playing the "you hurt my feelings" card? Everyone had plenty to say, and none of it was "personal attacks". If you can't take someone strongly disagreeing with you on the internet, I'm sorry to hear it.

LOL....trust me nobody here is here is hurting my feelings. I'd have to actually care what you think. I don't.

But you are wrong, unequivocally, about this topic.   He's not a good coach, whether you can see it or not. I don't care that you or others disagree, it's meaningless to me. Are you changing your opinion because of mine?

Good to know you have nothing meaningful on to say, other than "I'm right and you're wrong" and "I don't care what you think". Goodbye.

My gosh,crazy people ! (this time you can bring back the "personnal attack" narration)

Almost sure even if/when CBS will coach us to the title, you will still say he isn't the right guy... to win it.... Because you are right, hatever other think, wathever the facts are, whatever the sense of earth is turning... Blindness... Ego... A big part of humanity in you. Goodbye !

Eh, I've laid out multiple times my reasons for why I find Brad to be a subpar coach. If you want to ignore that or dismiss it that's your business. If you want to leave over it feel free.

Pretty lame attempt to play the victim here. Claiming personal attacks after your point is rightfully torn apart is weak. Claiming to be “unequivocally” correct in your out of touch criticisms of one of the most widely respected coaches in all of basketball is hilarious. Keep it up, those who know more than you disagree vehemently

Yes, CBS had a good gameplan tonight and it showed.

Plus it helps that the C’s have more talent. I can’t imagine the Heat ever blowing the C’s out because of this talent disparity (barring some amazing slump or some amazing hot streak).

But the fact remains: CBS (and by extension, the team) wasn’t ready for the Heat and their zone in game 1-2.

I don’t know if you’re confusing me for someone else. I’m not in the “fire CBS” camp. But I’m not absolving him for his performance in game 1-2. He had a couple of moments (playing Kanter, playing Grant) but went away from it, and I thought he had a great back and forth with nick nurse (who also coached the heck out of that series) in the previous series, but Spoelstra’s Heat were prepared  and the C’s looked lost. When 5 guys look like a mess out on the court, I think that’s largely on the coach.

I just hope moving forward, no more Semi Ojeleye. And keep Brad Wanamaker on a short leash.

Other than that, please continue attacking the paint. Quit chucking 3's or taking stupidly bad 3's. Quit doing ISO balls. Play more G-Will. Play some Timelord too. Kanter looked to be interesting tonight. We need guys who can grab the offensive boards too.
