Celtics (49-22) at Jazz (33-36) Game #72 3/18/23

[Silas]

Joe needs help, immediately!

[GreenEnvy]

That could not have been what Joe drew up. Please tell me Grant pulled a Grant and tried to be the hero. That was brutal.

That should end any HCA hopes. Now let’s see if we can get back in front of Philly at least. This is not how you want to go into the playoffs. Ugh.

help out the door immediately you mean

[hpantazo]

The Jazz have a bright future. They have a nice young core with Markannen, Kessler and Agbaji , and a ton of draft picks.

[jpotter33]

Does anyone seriously have ANY confidence whatsoever in this coaching staff? I have zero confidence of a long playoff run, because we're just going to get coached circles around.

While obviously there were other issues all ngiht long, Joe just gave that game away the last three offensive possessions:

- called no play and expected Tatum to just iso us a good look.

- then called what appears to be our only end game play now with Tatum in the backcourt, and it ends with a Tatum pull up three.

- then whatever the heck that last play was.

Just another atrocious showing from Joe. And that doesn't even consider the non-sense about insisting on keeping freaking Kornet out there when he was getting abused all fourth long.

Hello third seed!

We can nitpick a lot of things but having Kornet in the closing lineup instead of Muscala was dumb given how Muscala looked and was actually grabbing boards

[angryguy77]

Mentally weak team + bad coach= disaster in waiting

[celticinorlando]

Don’t want to hear they are just waiting for the playoffs to pick it up. They aren’t capable of that

[SparzWizard]

Clearly the excuse tonight is gonna be no Smart, no Horford, and no Timelord.

But if you need them against a 33-36 Jazz team despite JT and JB starting, you in real trouble.

Just bad coaching in general

[celticinorlando]

Massive lead on a bad team given away in a matter of minutes. This team is just lazy and soft.

Hello third seed! 

Even when we had the best record in the NBA mid-season I among many others still had significant doubts about Joe's coaching ability.  Those doubts are stronger than ever.

[Phantom255x]

They were better off just resting Tatum tonight. He’s been off for a while (only a few good games in that stretch) and was bad in the 4th tonight

[RPGenerate]

Legitimately might be the worst rebounding team I've ever seen.

[celticinorlando]

So they are going to have to go through Philly and Milwaukee on the road.

This team has been rubbish since Christmas
