Celtics (48-12) at Cavaliers (39-21) Game #61 3/5/24

[0003323344]

Let Dean Wade look like Dwayne Wade. Nice.

[blink]

we completely screwed ourselves again with no timeout, no play, JT just randomly dribbling everywhere and terrible shot.

Our coach needs to understand that we NEVER execute like that.  Stop NOT taking a timeout with 15-20 seconds left.  It completely screws us, we don't execute in improv mode. 

This one is partially on Joe.

[Indocelts]

Hahaha, Joe's end game is still shaky. Wished he weren't so stubborn to call a time out and set up a play with player other than Tatum.
Tatum hasn't delivered in last shot taken this season.

[Yuckabuck33]

And Joe has lost me again.
And when is Tatum going to learn to go into his move earlier to give a chance for a putback? Idiots!

[SparzWizard]

Yup, Cavs are the team to beat us in the playoffs. Would hate to draw them early in the postseason.

Celtics having trouble closing out games, same thing as last year. Sigh.

And Joe being Joe as always. We need a new coach.

[Neurotic Guy]

Remarkable ending.  Too bad. But - this loss is irrelevant in the grand scheme. The Cavs got scalding hot and the Cs cold for 5 minutes and that was that.  Cs needed a wake up loss - they can’t lapse like that and expect to win.

[Silas]

Tough loss....get it together and stick it to Denver Thursday.

[GetLucky]

Once again the Celtics lose in the dying seconds to this trash team

Ah yes, the trash team with the *checks notes* 3rd best record in the East and 6th best record in the NBA.

Not a bad thing to humbled at this stage in the season.

Hopefully the game tonight provides some clarity and motivation

Here comes the losing streak and where the bucks take over the Celtics for the top seed

[tenn_smoothie]

Jaylen Brown, "Mr. Disrespected", plays lazy unfocused defense in the 4th, let's his guy just go off, then does not block out for the most important rebound of the game and we lose because of him, among others.

[jpotter33]

That’s like the worst game ending play from Tatum… Dribble it at the top of the key for 10 seconds before you actually do anything then take a terrible shot…

Now KP made the shot. Does that count? What they looking at?

Zach Zarba overturns the foul call! And game over!

Joe: "The ball must be in the your best player's hands at the end game situation. Regardless that he shot 1-11 in the second half."

What a clown.

[liam]

Refs just mucked up the end to the game!

[Neurotic Guy]

Yup, Cavs are the team to beat us in the playoffs. Would hate to draw them early in the postseason.

This is so not last year. Ridiculous.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

OUTCOACHED AGAIN

MAYBE IF WE HAD A COACH WITH THIS TALENT WE WOULD NOT HAVE THESE CHOKES AND FAILS

had we lost a hard played smart game i would be ok with it

but losing like this is unacceptable
