Celtics (2-1) at 76ers (1-2) Round 2 Game #4 5/7/23

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

So I think we'll win this series, BUT this team doesn't look Finals-worthy. Too many letdowns and also, poor execution late in games when it's a one-possession game

IDIOTIC COACH ALSO

HE SHOULDA CALLED TO AND STRESSED NP THREES

IF THEY GET A LAYUP SO BE IT

THEN CALL TO ONCE WE GET BALL

OMG HE COMMITTED EVEERY SIN AVAILABLE

YOU NEED YOUR SHOT NO LATER THAN 5 SECONDS

WE DID NOT MOVE BALL UJTIL LIKE 7

JUST DUMB

[Mahk E Mahk]

So disgusted. Smart shooting ball both times at end of game and no TO’s both times. Draw a play and get your star to shoot it. Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.

exactly. it happened twice in the same game with two blown chances to win it. bush league joe.

Prepared for the game 5 choke like they did vs the bucks

[SparzWizard]

FIRE JOW NOW

I have a thread for that. Please express all your hatred and rants of him there and hope he gets canned

[jpotter33]

How can you consistently be so stupid and so wrong yet continue to make the same dang decisions losing us games, Joe?! God, you are just an awful, awful in-game coach.

Can’t wait to see how the apologists justify this one.

I’m ok with not calling a  timeout to keep Harden in the game in defense…they did get an open shot off which went in. I’m not ok with them taking so long thst the shot didn’t count. They should have gone quicker

Tatum has got to take that midrange shot. He isn't going to get all the way to the rim without getting doubled. Then it becomes a kickout to a teammate for an open 3.

If we want Tatum to take it, he's gotta take the midrange shot.

[angryguy77]

How do you not try and get a quick shot off rather than waiting to run it down?

This coach is a freaking moron. You shouldn't need exp to know what to do here.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

One thing you can’t do is give up a 3. What a dumb way to lose

CARDINAL SIN

PLUS NO TO AND NO GETTING A CLEAN SHOT EARLIER

JUST SICKENING

[blink]

Call a timeout there.  There's no reason to start running the play so late.

Giant missed opportunity.  We're 2-2 in a series that should have been a sweep.

He did it two times in a row.  At the end of regulation and at the end of overtime.  You gotta give your team a chance to set up a play.   Biggest failure in this game were those two decisions.

[SparzWizard]

We probably getting Marc Davis next game, so just when you think it can't get any worse

[celticinorlando]

Joe loves timeouts like Ainge loved draft picks

[RodyTur10]

Harden shooting the ball like curry this series.

Harden is arguably a top 10 offensive player in NBA history.
You just can't leave him open.

[Who]

I wonder if Mazzula should have called a timeout to put a better shooter in than Smart. Then again, Smart hits a lot of big shots. Heck he made that shot at the end it was just too late to count.

[Indocelts]

If we lose this series then Joe must be fired.
