We are playing way too slow.

This is the pace Cleveland wants

Fact they can’t guard Mobley nor Morris is simply madness

Embarrassing.
Where are the people who think we can beat Denver? Lol

People forget - every other team has looked even worse then we have at times.  Denver choked hard in the first couple of games against Minnesota, Minny have choked the last few games, OKC have choked. 

People talk like the Celtics are the only team that has had choking sessions.  Far from it.

And those teams to my knowledge are not missing a top 3 player.
.

They’re playing Minnesota. A really really good team. We are playing a g league team.

The Cavs were not a G league team when Mitchell was playing and we domanated them in 2 games out of 3.

They had their issues againt the Lakers too, who were a play-in team that barely made the playoffs.  There's a reason why the Celtics had the best record in the league by a long margin - other teams were less consistent.

If the celitcs win today they will be the only team to win both sereis in 5 games

Those teams are playing real competition. We aren’t. You think Denver loses a game to this cavs team? Lol

FIRE JOE NOW
This times a million. He tells them to play this way!


Even though it won us 64 games? Still stupid? Morris has gone nuclear. He’s thrown up 3 heaves that have been heavily contested. We are fine. I actually think we’ve played fine. A few defensive miscues, but overall offense and defense has been good.

Sir we're playing the Cavaliers

Right. Without 3 of there best players. There’s people on this forum that argue they can beat Denver. Something’s gonna have to change for the Celtics to win even a game if they end up in the finals against Denver.

Mate, we aren't even in the Finals. We aren't even in the ECF yet lol

Maybe I’m assuming too much that we are gonna make the finals, you’re absolutely right. This team will be lucky to get past the decimated Knicks. Heck if they lose tonight this series likely goes 7 and the cavs will actually get some competent players back

Lol some of you are so ridiculous and never learn despite constantly being wrong in your doomsday scenario predictions. You'd thought after the embarrassment of all the predictions that we were certain to lose game three that people would learn. Apparently not!

It’s crazy how Boston’s stagnant offense has been mentioned this game. Where’s the ball movement? Is this the effect of no KP?

It's the Joe effect

Their 3 best players is hyperbole. Mobley and Garland are right there with Allen in the 2-4 spot. I don't think anybody had Marcus Morris going on a heater either.

This is the NBA, though. Hopefully the Celtics can finish this off, but it's going to take more effort than we all thought.
