Celtics (29-8) at Bucks (25-12) Game #38 1/11/24

[celticinorlando]

Just a turd tonight. Happens in an 82 game season

[blink]

what an amazing win it would be to come back from 30 down.

[Vermont Green]

I dunno, if we are so tired from last night then hold guys out.  If you aren’t ready to play don’t play.  i know our guys are tired but cmon NBA athletes are the best conditioned athletes in the world.  It is kind of letting our guys off the hook by just saying they are tired from last night.

What I won't let off the hook is horrible coaching and clanking 3's, not adjusting their offense. I've already foreseen the tired legs and all.

You actually think this game is about bad coaching?

[jpotter33]

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

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

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.

Wolves literally beat the magic in Orlando less than 24 hours before they had to suit and play the Celtics in Boston and took us overtime. I guess that win which I thought was the best of the year meant nothing.
Look. I get the excuses. Celtics are great, bucks stink. They have 0 chance, games totally unfair. Yay!

Like, do you not understand the concept of "context" at all? Of course you don't with the non-sensical "everyday worker" comment, but I'll still lay it out for you:

Not only is this a B2B, but also: (1) it was an emotional, OT game last night, (2) we're having to travel, (3) we're crossing timezones with the travel and losing an hour, (4) the Bucks are on two full days rest with no travel, (5) they're coming off of an awful losing streak and are clearly motivated to win, and (6) we're literally playing the 5th game in 7 nights (!).

That's a lot of factors working against us. This really was a schedule loss, though we didn't do ourselves any favors by not taking better care of business last night and we shouldn't be losing this bad.

[cman88]

Second back to back in the last 6 games. 4 of the 6 games this new year been on the road.

They just look gassed tonight.

Isn’t it also something like 5 games in 7 nights?

Who schedules this stuff.

[hpantazo]

Would be fantastic but I think these guys are running on empty from this recent schedule. Just get out of there with no injuries

[celticinorlando]

Schedule since right before Christmas has not been kind for the Celtics. A lot of one game home stands and right back on the road

I know right? Lol if our best players came out on fire this is a a different game. Solely on the players virtually nothing to do with coaching

Yes it is

[ozgod]

They’re 11-22 from 3, we’re 1-16…that’s 30 points right there. And we’re shooting worse from 2 as well…and getting out rebounded 2 to 1 so we’re not getting any offensive boards from our misses. They left their energy in Boston

[Phantom255x]

Way too many overreactions on this board. Even some of the best teams in NBA history had a game or two like this in the regular season.

Yes, this is the part that makes it really inexcusable. A cross-time zone travel back to back on the fifth game in seven nights is just a screw job by the league, especially considering who the two opponents are. And even if you say that you couldn't predict Minny to be this good at the start of the season, they were still a playoff team.

Joe should rest the main guys for the second half for a lot of reasons, but mostly he should do it to give a big "screw you" to the league and the ratings for scheduling this non-sense.

We're shooting 32%

I know being an everyday worker doesn’t actually correlate with being a professional athlete bro I just simply don’t deal with excuses like you do.
Bucks are legit and have 2 first ballot hall of famers on their roster and destroyed us tonight. Give all the excuses you want, Celtics should’ve been ready.

So, the answer is - no, you don't understand context. Got it.
