Celtics (35-13) at Heat (26-22) Game #49 1/24/23

[Mahk E Mahk]

This team's transition defense frustrates the hell out of me.  That part of the game is 80% effort.  Bam gets a dunk because Rob and Tatum don't get their asses back. 

RUN BACK and set the defense.

tatum is consistently bad at getting back on defense.

I realize the C's don't have many options available tonight to take the pressure off Tatum but Joe has really mismanaged the team this half season.  this isn't the roster to "let them figure it out".

FTFY.

And Amen that this isn't the roster to "let them figure it out" with all these injuries. It's a stupid philosophy with the extent he takes it to when fully healthy; it's downright criminal when he does this crap with 4 of our top 6 out. Just a complete buffoon.

That’s our play after the timeout??

[SCeltic34]

What an embarrassing quarter.  We have 5 points.

[radiohead]

Three straight possessions JT didn’t touch the ball. C’mon guys!

[Silas]

Wake up guys.

[Phantom255x]

17-5 Miami run

Embarrassing 4th

[jpotter33]

What the crap is this offense?! Joe do you literally not have anything in your repertoire except this "go as you flow" offense?!
Can you not even run a play to get your guys a good look - let alone your MVP candidate?

So frustrated with him.

[Sophomore]

The shock in this game is that Justin Jackson was actually a useful NBA player.

[CelticSooner]

What a waste of a game. Why even bring Tatum back in if he’s just going to stand around and let the bench blow the game?

[Atzar]

We're easy to guard right now.  Miami is overplaying Tatum, White has cooled off, and our other guys are playing like pumpkins. 

[PAOBoston]

One of the worst losses of the season. 14 pt blown lead. Mazzula asleep (again). Grant Williams also such a fraud. Big front runner. Never steps up when they actually need him to.

yeah, not a fan of his philosophy.  experienced coaches take TOs to right the ship when their teams are screwing up.  Joe thinks he's going to get a rebate at the end of the season for all those unused TOs

tatum is gassed and has zero help. lots of standing around and iso ball by guys who have no business playing iso.

This has got to be one of the most depressing regular season 4th quarters in recent memory. All we needed to do was not sh*t the bed.
