Celtics (4-5) at Mavericks (5-3) Game #10 11/6/21

Can we fire Ime now? Or do we have to wait.. that was incredibly stupid telling Smart to foul.

Why? Because Smart made a dumb foul and Luka hit a prayer?

I've seen Luka hit so many of those that it's not a prayer. Dumb play by Smart!!!!

[Neurotic Guy]

Did the coach call for that foul?

If he did it was DUMB, DUMB, DUMB!!!! Not smart!!!!

Until I hear otherwise I am going to assume it was Smart being overly and stupidly aggressive and not a call by Ime.  If it was Ime, I'm even more dumbfounded.

[Silas]

Dumb play by Smart.

[ozgod]

At a bar watching it on my phone…Moronic play by Smartacus but how clutch is Doncic. How many last second 3s to win games has he made, at least 5 from memory provably more

They had a foul to give. It was planned.

A stupid plan!!! Does Ime get played by the quarter?

[ausbacker]

Rookie coach or not, Ime's feel for the game appears to be atrocious. I keep waiting to see what made him supposedly highly rated.

[kraidstar]

Gorman an Scal need to go too. They won't hold this team accountable for anything. That foul is one of the dumbest plays I've ever seen in any sport and they barely make a peep.

No let's drool over Doncic instead.

[PAOBoston]

That is 100% all on Smart. Room temperature IQ. For the love of god, TRADE HIM!

Credit to Luka for hitting that absurd shot, but we should never have let Dallas get the last shot. Actually, not "we" - Smart. As far as I'm concerned he's basically no longer a Celtic

Ime told him to foul. It was planned.

Then Ime should be fired on the spot.

i was puzzled that they gave the time to dallas after the foul. was it because it was a backcourt foul?

does anyone know the rule on this?

[nickagneta]

They lost but without their best offensive player and probably right now best overall player, that's a loss I can live with. Great effort. Great 2nd half defense. Great comeback.

Ime would call it mind boggling.

Dumb game management!!!

Yep, more mismanagement by him down the stretch. We had at least three awful offensive possessions down the stretch that we could've benefited from a timeout and ATO play, yet we ended the game with two timeouts to spare.

Granted, Ime's ATO plays have been junk anyways.

And why is Al not on the floor in crunch time? No Jaylen and he’s been playing outstanding so far this season. It’s a joke.

[Kiorrik]

Funny watching everyone kneejerk again.

Smart played great. Coaching was great.

Were there mistakes? Sure. Big ones too.

Overall, this was a fantastic match tbh. Take a couple mistakes out, and we're fine.

I loved this game. We got back from FAR behind by simple hard defense.

I'ma give everyone a pass for this game. Was too much fun to watch and see everyone playing well together.

Defense was impressive and so was the passing. Can't ask for heaps more than that.

[Neurotic Guy]

One more thing -- Mavs weren't past midcourt and there were about 7 seconds on the 24.  They were going to likely have a rushed shot.  The more I sit here, the more that foul irritates me. May need Ambien.

[blink]

well that was disappointing....Luka just with ice in his veins.
There were 3 guys around him, not sure what else you can do?
