Celtics (15-15) at Mavericks (13-15) Game #31 2/23/21

[NKY fan]

2 lucky shots, but don't brick a million 3's and the game doesn't end the way it did.

Another game with poor 3 ball shot selection.
Nothing has changed in 8 years under this coach.

Have you heard the phrase rather be lucky than good?

Many times at work lol

Not taking anything away from Luka’s last two 3s they were amazing shots and he came them in the clutch but really the Celtics only have themselves to blame for waiting too late for their run

Luka us a beast though. Definitely the most complete player on the court

[liam]

Celtics only play hard for like 10 minutes a game and they think that'll win a game.


No effort....

I’d trade Tatum and Brown for Doncic so fast it isn’t even funny. Luka is a top 5 player. Tatum and Brown are not.

I said that on draft night. Luka is a stud.

Would have been tough to pull off either way

the mystery is what was Sac smokin

And ATL smokin trading Luka

Which happens first - Smart returns or Brad gets fired?

Smart returns first because Ainge will never fire his binkie Brad Stevens.

[radiohead]

Tatum just surrendered there 'cause he couldn't find an open shooter - gotta force it.
Tacko with a 2 point dunk isn't doing anything. What was going thru his head ?

Tatum had issues with out of bounds possessions this game too

I agree. At least throw it to someone beyond the three point line right? He just gave up on that last inbound play.

Chubby Luka does it again

They just cut to the Denver game. The joker doesn’t look like he belongs in the chub club anymore. Can’t remember who threw his name in the ring earlier in the game but he’s gotten his weight down. Luka needs to for longevity’s sake.

me....

Hah ! I remember him being too heavy. Then they cut to him at the start of this game and I was like “where did half of him go?!?”

Unless Wyc finally steps in.

That was a Larry Bird like performance by Luka tonight. That's all I got to say about that.

This game said a lot more about the Boston Celtics than it did Doncic

The Celtics find ways to lose.

Which is what lousy NBA teams tend to do.

I prefer smarter play rather than street ball.

[Tr1boy]

So are the Celts now 8th seed or out of the playoff picture?

Wyc loves Ainge way too much so nope that won't happen.

Yeah, I think the franchise executives do have a problem at this point. No championship in the last 13 years? Man.

[DrinkinCelticKool-Aid]

These losses don't hurt as much, when you tell yourself that Brad is a great young coach!!!

Brad's not going anywhere.  C's would have to wind up at the bottom of the standings this season with good health before the club gives that a momentary thought
