Rockets (30-14) at Celtics (32-14) Game #47 1/27/25

[SCeltic34]

Ime outcoached Joe this time. Brilliant end game plays.

Not hard to do.

[tenn_smoothie]

The excuses will be "we don't have Derrick White tonight" 

No, it will be, "We are going thru learning the process of our defensive coordination." or some such gobblydegook.
Yeah Joe, let's learn with a veteran team that should NEVER have given up a dunk and an open 2-footer off a bumbled switch on the last two game-deciding possessions. Meanwhile, Ime just coached circles around bewildered Joe.

Gawd, I wish we had a good coach for this talented team.

was  brown defense on that last play horrible or was it me.

Boston's bench is putrid. It is PP and an old Al. Hauser is always hurt. After that nobody worth playing.

Make a move Brad.

[Silas]

Kornet lost on defense the last 2 possessions and it cost them the game. What a smart decision having the slow out of position do nothing out there.

Blew a 12 point 4th quarter lead. This team sucks.

Will never understand Joe's obsession with that dude. Granted he had a great overall game tonight but he has no business being out there in crunch time. What the heck were he and JB doing on that last inbound??

I blame Brown not Luke.

No he sucks. JB has the BB IQ of a gnat.

[Atzar]

I have to wonder what happened to Jaylen.  He was a conference finals MVP and the NBA finals MVP.  I thought he was the heartbeat of the team for that playoff run, even while Tatum was the best player. 

Now he's arguably not even a positive on a lot of nights.  His quickness is gone at both ends, that unguardable midrange game has vanished, and he's mulch on defense both on the ball and off the ball.  And I say this as somebody who was always squarely in the Keep Jaylen Brown camp amidst all of the dumbass trade ideas, by the way.  But we're paying him a ridiculous sum of money and not getting much in return.

Blame them both. The last 2 defensive possessions they both were lost.

Fire Joe, trade JB...my mantra 

Mike Brown is available right now...at least he knows how to coach

We were missing 3 of our top 8.

Good Lord Silas, we blew a 4th quarter lead at home to a much less talented team who played hungry and has a very good coach, unlike our idiot.
All this team does is think of excuses.

[celticinorlando]

Jaylen Brown has not been the same player since his mom had her house broken into. He looks checked out mentally most nights and is just a non factor on defense.

[scaryjerry]

I?m seeing blame for every one other than our ?mvp candidate? who made 5 shots.
I?m not trying to defend Jaylen by any stretch, he?s a bum this season with a bad attitude, just find it funny

[ozgod]

Joe has taken the blame for the last 2 plays saying it was his fault?he knows Jaylen and Luke are about to be hammered by the media and fans 

[Roy H.]

Ignore the last couple years, and focus just on this season.  We don't look like a well-coached team.  Our execution in tight situations sucks.

[celticinorlando]

Joe Mazzulla said the last few plays of regulation were on him: "I didn't help them at the end. Both those plays, 100% on me. ... I have to be better."
