Celtics (15-2) at Mavericks (3-14) Game #18 11/20/17

[cltc5]

We lost this game when Kyrie was having his best offensive game in a Celtic uniform and Brad decided it was a great idea to sit him the entire second half and put him in with 4 minutes left. So stupid.

Yep and let smart play more than Tatum

Alright, probably time to turn this one off - Mavs looking the Harlem Globetrotters out there, while the Cs are going iso on every play and missing every one.

Thank you Jaylen, but probably too little too late.

yeah my guess is we are done. we look terrible. we blew it. brad blew it. no way to polish this turd.

Smart and Al usually do all the little things to impact winning.

Today they, specifically marcus are doing all the big things to impact losing.

Definitely one of Al’s worst games

Not really getting him involved much.

He’s been very passive/had some really bad unforced turnovers

I’ve decided Smart is trying to do the C’s a long-term favor by tanking in front of Cuban to prevent him from overpaying Smart this summer.

Maybe a loss to a 3 win team will humble some of these guys

When Brad's plan gets shut down, his ability to adjust on the fly is close to nonexistent.

Are you talking about Brad Stevens?

No, Brad Pitt.

you are aware this team has five comebacks of fifteen+ in this win streak alone? right?

Short memory?

Nah, I'm sure we're just spotting them 11 points right now because otherwise the game would be too boring.

the fact that he has failed to adjust today (and coached what seems to be an awful game) does not prove that he has no ability to adjust.

Shameful.  Brad needs to look deep tonite

Laughably stupid coaching on display tonight.

Have no clue what Brad is trying to do, but man oh man it's absolutely infuriating

never ever go full retard when u have a team with your boot on their throat. this is all self inflicted. gave it away to dallas. of all teams. wow. sure teams come back but we gave this to them and you know how that happened.

Horford 4 shot attempts
Smart 11 attempts

I can't quite put my finger on it, but something doesn't seem right.

I don't think it was the players too much honestly. Just questionable rotations in that 2nd quarter threw the whole game out of whack.

Long-term favor will be getting himself a contract with someone else. If he sticks around, Brad might not be able to resist playing him every night. Gives a whole new meaning to "can't stop watching a train wreck".

I think this is Al’s worst game all year. Missing shots, making bad decisions, turnovers. I guess he was due a bad one.

for whatever its worth I still expect us to pull this game out.

That ^ about sizes this game up. Momentum is difficult to get back.
