Celtics (3-0) at Bulls (1-2) Game #4 10/24/22

How to lose a game in a quarter. 19 up to 7 down. Unreal.

Let’s get Blake in to give us a spark with a hustle play

37-11 run since getting up 19.

After the 19 pt lead Chicago has been on a 37-11 run

37-11 run since getting up 19.

I had to step away after being up 19. What the heck happened???

This "Let them figure it out on their own" philosophy of Mazzula's when the Celtics' opponent is making a run is just plain stupid.
You have a group that has already been together a fairly long time - if they could figure it out, they would have done it before losing a 19-point lead !!!! I put this lost lead on the head coach, not the players. Even championship teams need a timeout when things are out of sorts. No way in hell Mazzula should have let the lead disappear so fast without doing something.

I always liked this when Phil Jackson did it. Builds collective thinking and mental toughness in combatting hard situations together as a team. Team resilience.

Valuable for tougher tests down the road. Then Phil would call timeouts quickly in the playoff games to stop runs. I liked that. Use the regular season to let the players learn + short leash in the playoffs.

Too easy for demar against Tatum

[ozgod]

Basketball gods are punishing us for taking it easy when we had the 19 pt lead and thinking the game was over

[celticinorlando]

Celtics have no interest in playing defense. 

[jpotter33]

So uh, I take it we're letting another big lead slip away?

[bello_man09]

smh

[jpotter33]

Wow, I've watched two minutes and the C's look shell-shocked and soft. What happened?

[Celtic Fan Forever]

We can’t play Grant as our lone big man against Vucevic- give Blake a shot

[ozgod]

Our team of midgets getting pounded on the offensive glass by vuc

[celticinorlando]

No defense. No rebounding

How do you go from up 19 to now down almost 20 in a quarter?
