Quote from: Yoki_IsTheName on September 17, 2020, 10:08:20 PMThe SADDEST part about all this, is it kind of shows that we are BETTER than this Miami Heat team. Our effort, especially in the 2nd half, is just excruciatingly paltry. All credit to Miami for putting in more effort, but we are better than their team and it has been showing. We just don't have the mentality to do it the entire 48 minutes.Yeah if we play our best we can win this series. But at this point our team my need to go to therapy to figure out how to stop throwing games away. We just have no answer during crunch time (Jaylen's play at the end of the 4th was the exception)

@celticsBrad Stevens: “We’re not beating this team if we’re not completely connected on both ends of the court. So we’ve got to get back to being that ... We’re going to have to fight to get back into this series.”Oh brother
Tatum has become a prima donna. Stevens is scared to put him in his place.The Heat played so much harder than the Celtics in the 2nd half. Really feel that the difference in effort was why they won. Along we terrible rotation decisions by Stevens.
Quote from: blink on September 17, 2020, 10:09:08 PMIf the heat win this series, and we have seen no reason why they won't, there is no stopping the Lakers from the title.Hot heat or not, the Lakers will beat this heat team. Too much experience on the Lakers to not do what the Celtics have done the last two games, ie fumble away leads and playing soft in crunch time. I don't mind that much us losing to the Heat but I don't want the Lakers to win the title again. uggWhat else can 2020 go wrong? Lakers winning banner #17 and hearing awful/idiotic Lakers fans screaming they're "the greatest NBA franchise of all time screw the Celtics they suck"

We have said this over and over again, but some of you disagreed. Now that you need a coach to step in, you have NOTHING.I mean... We are in the conference finals for the 3rd time in 4 years. Tonight's loss was bad but some of these takes are over the top.He has no control of the team.... I think he is scared to rip the players or the refs. When was the last time he spent a T TO PROTECT HIS TEAM?

This game 3 might be the most pivotal game of many of our guy's careers. Backs against the wall, this is where we find out what these guys are made of.

Tatum may need someone to push him to get him to the next level. Is Brad the guy to do that?Of course if you go the other way and bring in someone of the 'aggressive' variety, you run the risk of making Tatum want to go elsewhere - such is life in today's player-centric NBA.

He's never been that angry, emotional, screaming coach at any point of his college or NBA coaching careers. I don't expect him to suddenly change and I think any fan that does is just setting themselves up to be upset.
