Celtics (1-1) at Pacers (2-0) Game #3 12/27/20

Can’t deal with 70 more game of this, team has 0 shot at winning anything significant...complete garbage

[Neurotic Guy]

Not happy about that at all. 

But bench played well - scored 42.

I don’t care why anyone says. Stevens is a trash coach and is holding this team back. That’s the best play you can come up with?!?!? ****H.

I’m willing to bet that wasn’t the play Brad drew up

Then he can explain himself in his post game press conference because I’d love to hear the story behind that shot.

[libermaniac]

Awful shot, but didn't Brogdon interfere with Tatum's leg?  I have a feeling the two minute report will say they should have called that.

you might actually lose that bet.  2 close games in 3 days and pretty much the same play each time

[DocomoCelts]

Sheesh, how uninspiring was that last shot.  Didn't deserve the win in any case, we were poor.

[hpantazo]

I remember when Brad used to call great out of timeout plays.

This was downright awful, straight out of the Doc Rivers playbook of iso for Pierce.

We were only down 1, why the heck are you going for a setback 3?

[Darth_Yoda]

I am starting to fall into the fire brad camp.

He makes no changes, holds no one accountable and is not good at development.

Brown and tatum are not on brad and exclusively on themselves. He has developed no one.


Years of continued poor 3rd quarters.
Years of non accountability
Years of infighting
Years of isolating at end of game

[Somebody]

Man, I sure hope we don't get a Tatum fall-away 3 here. Something going to the hoop would be great.

Sadly, a TP to you.

Mike

Back at ya. Until Tatum gets his head out of his ass in this situations, I would definitely only get him the ball on a catch and shoot. His iso 3s are tragically bad.

He even missed his catch and shoot attempt in the fourth

Nice to see a little bust out by Pritchard. More ball movement please. More TIMELORD Please.

If so, that's even worse, as that would mean that his young star doesn't even respect him enough to honor his play calls. Too soft either way. Time to go.

[BackDoorCut]

I also thought he tapped his elbow when I saw the replay.

[hpantazo]

The Pacers with Hayward would have been a legit problem. I'm really glad Ainge held the hard line with them.

[Scottiej23]

I don't think we'll ever know, but it's inconceivable to me that that was the play we wanted on that possession. If that was Tatum deciding that on his own then there is a real problem.

[liam]

A long three in a one point game is a total brain fart.
