PLAYOFFS, Rnd 2, Gm 2 – Cavaliers (0) @ Celtics (1) – 7PM, Thurs, May 9, 2024

[ThePigeon]

You had to figure d white was coming back to earth especially after all the media hype. But what is plan B when the 3 isn't falling?

None

Executive of the year likes 3s and likes his coaches young and dumb

[Bird84]

And they say Jayson Tatum is soft.

One punch by the Cavs and some of the Celtic fans quit on the Celtics?

I'm really getting the impression that part of the fan base is also soft.

Nobody is quitting dude. Get real. This **** won’t cut it later on. That’s the point. Asleep at the wheel.

The overreaction is soft as Charmin though, right?

When they quit they REALLY quit. It's ugly.

[Triple7]

He went 2-5 from three tonight, and got to the line 11 times.

Literally both of your complaints made zero sense. I’ve had fun with you, but you’re not worthy of any more back and forths, as you aren’t a serious person.

Almost everyone is saying JT is soft! He’s as soft as you can get. Weak mentality as well. I don’t care what you think actually haha

If that's true then it's a 100% guarantee that the Celtics will not be making the finals.

But you said Celtics in 6 against Minnesota.

You're playing both sides, man.

When the Cs win, you say the Cs are winning it all.

But when the Cs lose, you immediately throw JT under the bus.

You make no sense lol

[BRUNiNHO91]

Same thing happened in 2022 when some of us told you the Cs were in trouble after losing Game 4 in the finals against GSW.

You lambasted those who said the Cs were in trouble after losing that Game 4.

And you didn't believe us.

Now you're saying this team sucks and you're one of those who keep saying the Celtics will win it all this year.

Wait what? Lmao

You must not who I am. Been one of the only ones consistently saying this team is overrated, poorly coaches and not nearly as good as anybody thinks. Bench was garbage and guys like Pritchard, Korney and Hauser would give us nearly nothing in real games. Called them the Al Horford Hawks and said they would get demolished by the Nuggets in the finals. Wtf are you on about dude..

You said I'm clueless if I think this Celtics have a smaller chance of winning it next year.

I countered by saying back in 2022, after the Cs lost Game 4, in the finals, some of us said the Cs are in trouble and you lambasted us for saying that.

You said the Cs will still win the finals.

Guess you were wrong on that one, huh?

Pretty sure I never guaranteed Boston winning that finals. I was here pretty pissed after that game 4 meltdown and the stupid drop coverage. But even if I did, being wrong about a team losing to the biggest dynasty of recent years is a bit different than thinking this team has a better chance of winning next year when they are pissing themselves with half the superstars in the East out and injured this year. I guess maybe if they fire this **** joke of a man they call a coach, maybe they will.

[Red2]

Joe .. zero adjustments.

[Red2]

D white read his press clippings and promptly shat the bed tonight

[VeryMuchWoke]

25 on 7/17 isnt that great.

His mentality is completely off. Every playoffs it’s the same BS with him.

Has it in his head he can just sleepwalk through games.

You see how Mitchell attacked relentlessly and looked to kill the game off in the third quarter?

That’s the **** Tatum should be doing.

Instead he plays like he’s sleepwalking and the result doesn’t really matter.

He’s not going to hijack the offense lmao. Joe and the team has made it clear that they want the offense like this, where we don’t milk it with a certain player.

This thread literally has people calling Tatum both passive AND selfish, that’s when you know it’s trash discourse lol.

Tatum should have had a 40% usage tonight, he was our ONLY advantage creator offensively, and the only person who could get to the rim consistently. Instead, we had Derrick White/Jaylen looking him off over and over.

Oh my god dude.

I’m not calling for him to hijack the offence.

I’m calling for him to be properly aggressive and assertive offensively like I saw back in the 2022 playoffs.

None of this half assed soft BS looking for fouls that he’s been doing all year and did tonight.

Him shooting 41% is the exact sort of weak BS that lost us a finals in 2022.

Every championship team has a star player that can drag his team along with him when the others are struggling.

It’s getting quite pathetic with Tatum how soft he is.

He's straw-manning any JT criticism. Just ignore him and let him have his delusions.

[tfmiii]

You understand how stupid this is? Yeah?

Getting to the FT line requires physical play

Nope.

He went 2-5 from three tonight, and got to the line 11 times.

Literally both of your complaints made zero sense. I’ve had fun with you, but you’re not worthy of any more back and forths, as you aren’t a serious person.

Yep JT put up a relatively nice box score... But for a 2nd, 3rd option

We are told constantly that he's an MVP candidate, came in 6th in the voting this year.

This is not the box score one expects from an MVP in a playoff game at home when the team needs direction, focus, and someone to lead the way. He and Jalen are playing like beta-1 and beta-2

[Green89]

Pritchard is playing more like a #1 option than anyone, tbh.

I want him to do more too lol, I wish his usage was 40% tonight. That’s not how Joe wants to use him though, clearly. He hasn’t taken more than 20 shots in a game since the end of March.

[OnlyTheTruth]

They are revealing themselves to be more of a pretenders than a true elite contender

[fallguy]

The overreaction is soft as Charmin though, right?

Do you ever post anything that isn't baiting other posters or just flat out spam?

Hey mods - go read the last few pages. Ask yourself what this guy brings to the board.

In the meantime - can someone invite me to the Discord?

What is this discord you speak of

[Dainis]

The loss sucks, but it's not the end of the world.

[31to6]

overall this team is showing growth compared to last spring, in terms of taking care of business.
tonight is the chance to show growth from Round 1.
LLEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS GGGGOGGOGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
