76ers (2-2) at Celtics (2-2) Round 2 Game #5 5/9/23

[celticinorlando]

This team is just dumb. From the coaching, the schemes, the rotations, the players decision making. Dumb

Has Pritchard touched the ball at all?

[SparzWizard]

They'll probably win Game 6 and pump their chests, but then it'll be a long wait until Game 7.

So annoying

Or they'll just go quietly into the night Thursday and we can be done with them. It's just not a fun group to root for. Very unserious, and acting like they can just sleepwalk most of the games

They look like the Kyrie Celtics in 2019

Not going to come back if we're simply trading baskets

Can’t wait to see how this board blames Joe. This exact group no shows for big games. They have the last 5 years.

He's systematically destroyed everything that Ime and Brad built up last year with an even more talented roster. This entire game of us just chucking three after three with no other offense is ALL JOE.

Only the blind can continue to give him a pass at this point. He's been downright atrocious in the playoffs missing obvious adjustment after obvious adjustment, all while screwing us with such an unsustainable gameplan.

This forum has had the exact same criticism of every coach this side of Doc Rivers.

First it was Stevens "why are the bigs shooting" basketball. Then it was "Ime sucks all the C's do is shoot jumpers" basketball. Now it's Joe "all the team does is shoot threes" basketball. It's not a new critique. These guys aren't exactly winning at the rim against Embiid. Only Tatum has showed up (and he hasn't been great), the rest have disappeared.

Joe has taken it to a whole other level than Brad or Ime. The numbers completely back that up with us significantly higher in the rankings for three point attempts.

And it's magnified by his deprioritizing of the defense simultaneously.

[Who]

Knew the moment Jaylen started bringing the ball upcourt that that whole possession would go by without Jaylen passing the ball to anybody. He was jacking that shot no matter what.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

Yeah, Joe is getting fired this summer.

good riddance

SERIES IS OVER ANYWAY

[Dchuck]

They need to push the pace and attack the rim with Joel on the bench

[liam]

Pritchard is a dog!

Ime found a formula that worked.  Then Brad added upgraded pieces to the roster.  Then Joe actively worked to tear down Ime's foundation, and negated the roster depth.

There are plenty of quotes out there about how Joe *purposefully* moved the team away from defense.

Scoreline is getting interesting again.

[BringToughnessBack]

JT! Time for a generational come back on his shoulders!

[jpotter33]

People crapping on Tatum, but he's putting everything out there right now and since halfway through the second. He's the only reliabel offense out there right now and taking things over.
