Celtics (37-22) at Raptors (44-17) Game #61 2/26/19

I don't even think trading for Anthony Davis would make this team a legit Finals threat at this point 

(And btw I'm not trading Tatum for him - a rental - either, just to be clear)

Kyrie was  confident after Chicago loss...he does not look very excited now.If he bolts this summer look to this game as a catalyst for that move.

It’s all about the playoffs I feel

Love how the coach gets blamed for 15% 3pt shooting

scroll back how many times have we seen slow adjustments or none at all by brad?

IT ALL LIES AT THE COACHS FEET REGARDLESS

IF NOT THEN Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. WE HAVE A COACH?? HUH?

[blink]

I know Brad has been far from perfect this year, but these guys are PROFESSIONALS.  These players are ultimately responsible for their play and whatever happens.  Until our guys start to refuse to accept these types of games they will continue to happen. 

No. I don't see why people don't get this. This is the coach's responsibility, probably the primary one. He is supposed to manage the talent on the team, keep them motivated and on track, and ensure that we are playing as a team.

I seriously struggle to grasp what the defenders of Brad think the role of an NBA coach is, because he's failing at virtually every responsibility at this point, which has been on full display the last 7 quarters with the team devolving into a bunch of individuals that are half-arsing the game out there.

Look I said Brad hasn't been blameless.  But when you are getting pounded by 30 + points by a rival in a showcase game, that is not all on Brad.

Lol just got here.  What I miss?

epic meltdown by team and the forum game thread had to go timeout to restore order. Too bad the mods here have more nad than the Cs coach.

Lin>>>>>>Rozier....

Well there is your problem. Use your coaching ability and tell your players to stop shooting 3's and go finish at the rim or take closer shots.

Yeah Lin was a good get for them.

we have seen these games ALL YEAR LONG! this is on the coach. it keeps happening. i mean unless we have a team of scrubs. smh

I know no one will agree with me but the real blame here lies with Ainge, for him not moving Rozier.  He should have sold high in the summer, but at the very least it was obvious that he needed to be moved at the deadline.  Addition by subtraction.

You cannot tell me that some team was not looking for him.  Why do we think he is necessary for this team's future.

blow it up, danny.

LOL at the "stop shooting" coaching method, like the other team is just going to let you get layups.

That 2nd quarter was a major turning point in this game and Brad could've done more to stem the tide. They went on a 26-5 run and he didn't call a timeout, stuck with the same 5 that wasnt working and basically let the meltdown happen.
