Now he calls a time out lol

I’m done for tonight.

[mctyson]

Wow absolutely no fight in the Celtics.

Does not help that they cannot shoot.

[MaxAMillion]

problem  with the Celtics attitude is fuirst the players feellike they cannot wait for the regular season to end so they can get to the playoffs and get serious. Then they get spanked in the playoffs a couple of games and they cannot wait for that to end.

The team is defeated...deep down they know it is over

[Ogaju]

lol they have turned Siakam into the second coming of MJ

[Jiri Welsch]

I know this is knee-jerk, but Brad seems to have lost the team.

Brad needs to learn to get tossed in one of these games. Do something!

[CptZoogs]

Good news: short turn around before the next game.  Hoping we see some lineup changes.

Bad news: Portland is going to eat us alive on the boards.

[GreenCoffeeBean]

It’s not even a close debate that Siakam is playing better than Tatum for the last two months. Certainly helps to have Leonard but clearly he has upped his game.

He better start coaching like his job is on the line....

We're just missing wide open 3's.  3 for 17 from 3. 

same BS we saw in game 7 last year

THEN ADJUST!

coaches are fired all over the sports world because it all lies at their feet at the end of the day.

that is a fact whether we want to accept it or not.

They need a different coach. I've beaten this horse so much it's almost glue, but the dude can't coach the team through adversity.

it all lies at his feet. i am at wits end with brad. i cannot argue with you on that.  he is seeming to be the common denominator.

Agree.

It’s ironic that one of the things that drew KI was CBS....and CBS May be the reason he leaves.

So unimpressed with Brad. How many gigantic runs can a team give up before we start thinking the coach is a problem?

It’s been the Celtics’ weakness for over a year...

[Phantom255x]

Ugh, and we have a game tomorrow against Portland. This could get even more ugly now...

[hodgy03038]

Is Siakam an mvp candidate? We are certainly treating him like one. I really don’t like this team.

I don’t see that.  This mess is first and foremost a player issue.  Pieces simply do not fit.

No, the players are manageable. They just need the proper direction and guidance. Brad not clarifying roles from Day 1 and being unable to even motivate the team to play with energy is a pretty significant indictment on his ability to coach this team.

We're legitimately looking at a first round exit as the 5 seed at this point, as these players clearly don't trust each other or play as a team.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

Brad just is not getting to this team. That's pretty clear at this point. No heart or character shown by the players at all, and Brad just hasn't shown an ability to effectively manage this level of talent.

These guys don't play as a team at all, but rather a collection of individuals.

Pitiful performance.

i think we have seen enough evidence now. empirical. brad won't get us any further. he has maxed out. time to explore a coach who can get us to and win finals danny. a guy who can get his team to play as a unit and compete night in and out.
