Clippers (30-26) at Celtics (35-20) Game #56 2/9/19

[j804]

When Smart shot that 3 instead of going to Hayward who just scored 5 consecutive, I knew they were doomed

Yea Hayward was rolling taking over the game and Smart tries to be the hero with a terrible deep three 6 seconds into the shot clock. I don’t mind that shot off a couple swings but he crossed halfcourt and chucked it. Smh

Kyrie never allows anyone but him to close...so no one knows how to close but him.

Stevens post game: the better team won....

More like the better coach won, because Brad is simply incapable of doing anything to get this team where it needs to be.

And I suppose he was a great coach in the first half? Man, you get on this hobby-horse whenever we lose a game. It's really frustrating watching these guys lose, but there are a ton of reasons why it happened.

Irving's injury.
Horford's ineffectiveness.
Rozier's inability to run an offense.
Hayward's inconsistency.
Terrible communication on defense.

A coach can only do so much. When fans see their team melting down, especially fans with a bit of knowledge about the game, they hone all of their focus onto one scapegoat.

How many timeouts can Brad call? How many subs can he try? At some point these grown men need to motivate themselves.

Teams need rozier gone.
Needs a center that can run.
Need a consistantly semi-productive hayward

Both could have been had at the deadline.

Both werent.

This is as muxh on danny as anything.

Outscored 70-38 in the second half. Disgraceful!

[KGs Knee]

Lol Brad should be on the hot seat. Complete failure of a coach this year. Need a more veteran coach who isn't so soft and worried about upsetting guys who aren't performing.

No offensive discipline by any of our players. No semblance of a gameplan other than chuck up threes any chance you get. And no sense of urgency to play with energy for a full 48 minutes.

Just a joke of a year.

The shine has definitely worn off our supposed 'wonderboy' coach.

Two MORE!

We did it!

Thanks TP!

Would've rather the Celtics win...

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

Lol Brad should be on the hot seat. Complete failure of a coach this year. Need a more veteran coach who isn't so soft and worried about upsetting guys who aren't performing. Brad virtually doesn't do anything or make any adjustments during games.

No offensive discipline by any of our players. No semblance of a gameplan other than chuck up threes any chance you get. And no sense of urgency to play with energy for a full 48 minutes.

Just a joke of a year.

couldn't agree more harry! ABJECT FAILURE

[keevsnick]

We own the first quarter 43-20. Clippers won each of the next three, outscored us 70-38 in second half.

Boo birds out at the Garden..

My policy is to never boo the Celts, but exceptions can certainly be made...

How anyone can ignore the this team's front runner mentality and completely lack of effort in games like this is beyond me.

Ainge seriously needs to consider finding a new coach of Brad can no longer get through to these guys.  Poor effort is a direct indictment of poor coaching.

TP. People don't want to admit the obvious problem is Brad and the coaching staff simply not getting through to the guys, likely because before this year he was thought of as a major advantage for us. The coaching staff just doesn't have the tough character needed to manage this level of talent and take the team to the next level.

Congratulations to Liam and all those that carried him to 1000 TPs.

Kyrie never allows anyone but him to close...so no one knows how to close but him.

It's hard to blame Kyrie for this he left with a 20 point lead.

Congratulations to Liam and all those that carried him to 1000 TPs.

Thanks, on to Philly!

A buyout can help our big men, but Baynes' injury is the really big problem. We stink without him

[jpotter33]

"Alright, guys. So for our offensive plan in the second half, let's shove our heads up our asses and see how quickly it takes the Clips to embarrass us on our home floor."

There's just no offensive discipline whatsoever with this team, because to be honest I'm not sure that they respect Brad. He doesn't hold them accountable, so they do whatever the hell they want out there.
