I don't understand the league.

Why would.you put a marquee matchup and schedule boston ok a b2b. You think you would want a good product

Waaaaah. Boooo hooooo. I get what you’re saying but there’s no excuse. As an every day worker making a fraction of the money these players get I’ll work a 13 hour shift and get up and have to be to work at 6am again…waah.
Bucks are simply a legitimate threat and will continue to be so after they blow us out tonight

Are you an elite athlete playing against other elite athletes? Do you have to fly 1,000 miles to work?

Look, I get it but the absolute built in excuses for nba players on back to backs disgusts me. Based on this logic we should’ve blown out the wolves last night who were on a back to back

Sure thing sport

Are the bucks not a legitimate threat bud?

When did I say they weren’t? But having two full days off before this game to practice and Boston playing last night absolutely is a factor

Sure. So last nights win means nothing. Wolves were on a back to back

sigh... we dont have to yell at each other because the C’s are getting drilled.

[celticinorlando]

The overreaction to this bucks win by a lot of people will be nauseating.

Do you want to argue the bucks aren’t a legit threat or…

How about we don't act like a prickly and the yelling doesn't happen.

[Yuckabuck33]

If our guys so tired, why are so many of our shots long off the backrim?

[jpotter33]

They're literally just packing the paint, daring us to shoot the three at this point.

May be time to, I don't know, try something different?

The overreaction to this bucks win by a lot of people will be nauseating.

Bucks fans will be like "see? no issues at all. We got Boston's number. They'll get slaughtered in the playoffs by us. Last year was just a fluke cuz Giannis was injured and Jrue was washed up. See what happens when you have washed-up Jrue? We got Dame Lillard now!"

[tenn_smoothie]

Joe - this is exactly why you don't just let them "play it out". We've let go of the ropes and let them get full-speed ahead momentum that is likely unstoppable at this point. Giving them a 18-0 run without trying to make any kind of adjustment, set up a play, or anything is just inexcusable.

Tonight was already a long shot to win given the context and scheduling. You handicapping a clearly tired team and expecting them to "play it out" and stop the run on their own is just poor coaching and not putting the players in a position to succeed.

And this is one of the reasons that some of us still doubt Mazzulla's ability to win a title. Maybe he has improved some since last season, but allowing this to happen without doing anything shows me he has very little feel for how to manage a team.

Celtics did not have two full days off before they played them to rest and practice. Celtics have been on the road a ton lately and yes that can factor in.
