Horrendous coaching job tonight. Udoka is not putting this team in a position to win the last two games. The offense is so stagnant, it looks like they are playing pickup ball. Brad needs to help him come up with a strategy for game 5.

Must need glasses, I thought it was the players missing layups, free throws, 12 consecutive threes and throwing all those turnovers. Turns out it was Ime!

Ime also turned the ball over way too much and missed a bunch of free throws...

Not sure what guys like Spoelstra, Popovich, etc. could have done tonight either. How are they making sure our guys aren't missing FTs or making dumb passes throughout?  ::)

By playing more guys all year and in the playoffs so we aren't totally gassed at this point. Pop and Spo would've tried some different at some point.

Ime didn't adjust to Kerr going small. Kerr changed his starting lineup. Ime just keeps trotting out his 7 man rotation and doing that dumb passing at the top of the 3 point arch thing over and over. The only time we looked good was on those Smart post ups but then we just went away from that and dribbled and passed at the top of the arch and fumbled the ball or got a tough shot. Ime is not going anywhere and he'll get better as a coach.

They didn’t lose the game tonight due to missed FT’s and maybe the passing would be better if they had an offense that worked. Did you not see how the Warriors offense was smooth and the ball just zipped around and then the Celtics on that end just looked clunky and disjointed. You really don’t think that Spolestra or Pop would run better plays? Come on..

10 free throws missed in a 10 point game seems like it might have something to do with it.

Of course it doesn’t help, but did you expect the C’s to make every free throw taken, which would have been just enough to tie the game? The offense in general has been a problem of late. Stagnant, my turn basketball. Smart, who is supposed to be the point guard had 2ast in the game. There is no flow to the offense.

For a team attempting the second most 3’s per game in the post season, you’d think they would get their better shooters some looks from deep when they are in the game. Grant is the best 3pt shooter on the team and he is attempting 1.8 shots from behind the arc in this series. Smart is attempting 6.4 and White is at 4.6. C’s have a big height/size advantage and the don’t force mismatches on offense or look to post up. It doesn’t make any sense.

They don’t have a bench that contains 5 guys who started the season in the G-League.  5!!

Ime on the verge of being fired after an ignominious end to the year. Surely there must be a sacrificial head to roll for this fiasco?
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

Ime on the verge of being fired after an ignominious end to the year. Surely there must be a sacrificial head to roll for this fiasco?

So he took a young team that was playing selfish for a year and a half, mid season turn around and gets to the finals, and with some miracle the team gets back to what they were a couple months ago with a hurt starting center and PG, and a bench that is mediocre  could still win, should get fired in his first year????

Sure...Or get the team a true Pg, maybe move Brown for a guy who can create for them selves or others and doesn't dribble off their butt every 5 minutes, back up center and a couple 3 and D guys off the bench.

Also Horford spot will need to be thought of either this summer or next.

This team is still a  bridge team if people want to accept it or not. This team was built in cleaning DA's mess and to see how the Jays work together and who works with them and to set a new culture. To have the turn around with a ragtag team is pretty amazing, now lets see when they can put pieces that work better in a extra summer.

 You also have a great run, took on the heavy hitters,  guys who are willing to take a discount to win a ring will be looking at Boston now.

Yeah Ime has room to grow, but you don't take this team turn it around and get to the finals if your a hack.
