I got one of you arguing that Joe doesn't matter and there's no evidence that calling a timeout leads to a statistical difference in the game and then you arguing that he's the reason there dominating.

Yet you're both arguing against my take.

**** Joe.


You only appear when we lose games to **** on Joe with surface level takes. It was bad game by Joe and Tatum. **** happens


What a ridiculous take. I'm not here to circle jerk 80 points blowouts.

When Joe does Joe **** I'm gonna be here to talk about it because that's what matters.

It's the only thing that can stop them from winning the title.

Not that that should happen because they're the best team in the league by light-years.


The title is on Tatum hands not Joe or the rest of the team. Tatum has been doing the same **** with 3 different head coaches and different personnel. If he can’t do it that confirms he’s not a championship caliber number 1.

So coaching doesn't matter? That Tatum will inevitably turtle when the lights are brightest?

What about can't dribble for **** Brown?

I really need Brad Stevens to call a timeout and set up a play.


But what about the poster who claimed he was great in the clutch?? And the one who believes everyone is overreacting to blown last possessions? They know more than the numbers prove?

Why was everyone and their mothe calling it fade-away and now recently people call it fall-away more and more?

Yes, I know it existed before but has anyone else also noticed the trend?

Put any other Top 5 player in the spot of Tatum in the 2022 Finals or 2023 ECF and he would have won a chip. The only thing that will win us a chip is Tatum being a top 5 player. No more excuses for him.

Tatum is why they was there in the first place. Tatum had a horrendous finals. This has allowed Brown to go under the radar who had a low key pretty bad finals him self.

Ime also has a horrible finals.

I trust Tatum way more than I trust Joe to make the right decision.

Help me understand your point.

If your point is you love Joe and don't think he's gonna cost you the title then added to the list you go.


I challenged you about some of your hyperbole and you cravenly ducked.

You've been hyperbolic in other ways as well.

Its funny. Most dominant reg season since 73 win GS. Wait till next year excuses...absurd.

You're forgetting the 2022 Suns that won 64 games.

Cs need to beat that 64 wins first.


Margin of Victory and all the advanced stats have this as currently an all time regular season in history. Better than the Suns. 3 50 point wins already. Never even been done.

Nothing says championship like a team with a coach and best player that can't be trusted in crunch time.

The Bucks are going to win the East. They have the best overall player, the best clutch player, and a better coach.

Wyc will fire Joe despite Brad's objections. It will be interesting to see if Brad chooses to stay.

I understand it’s championship or bust.

But there’s a lot of posters here who are showing their true colours.

You’re going to complain and be upset by this game THIS much?

It’s probably a good idea for your mental health to stop posting and stop watching if that’s the case.

Man, 14 pages of sulking. C'mon guys.

This loss is a good thing, smoking CLE by 20 would have taught our guys nothing. They've been cruising the past few weeks, so it's not a shocker they had a surprise comeback loss bite them.

Losing sucks but we're not entitled to winning, so it is what it is.

I know it would be a good idea for MY mental health if some of our gas bags stopped posting.

I challenged you on your stated claim that the team would have significantly fewer losses this season with you coaching, among other nonsense.

Your claim that Joe does nothing positive whatsoever is also absurd, especially since you tied it to innovation.

Dude, you know it’s a bad loss when JRhawks comes out of hibernation and says the Bucks are going to win the East.

Every writer had to wait a month to post negative Celtics article. Less than a week ago the Clippers lost a 21 pt lead in the 4th quarter and I didn’t see all this narrative.

look, I cant help those who aren't willing to accept that calling timeouts is a fundamental requirement to doing your job.

I can watch the team fall apart for 8 straight minutes too at the fraction of the cost and give you the same results.

the NBA is a players league, coaching doesn't win you games, it loses you games.

It's crazy to me that giving Joe's historical record of not calling time outs, being called out for not calling time outs and losing games because he didn't call time outs that the Celtics would end the game with 2 timeouts in their pocket giving how the game was falling apart.

If anyone think Joe made the right call then they're not copiable for making informed opinions I care to hear.

Do you have the Clippers as a serious title contender? Do they have almost a decades long history of turtling in the fourth quarter to blow games they had controlled for 3 quarters?

Do you really even care? who cares what the pundits think. What you should care about is why the Celtics still haven't got over their fourth quarter lulls.

Is it crying?? Or showiing concern for a collapse that has happened to us like that for.quite a few years.. I will repeat what a few other posters said. It's not the loss , but the manner of loss , which seems to be what is causing most to be concerned.

I am already in mid season cruise control. great record or our occasional collapse I am no longer as high or as low. This is all regular season. Everyone and their uncle knows the playoffs are the second season.. And the real season..

I already am aware, This will be a season of total exhilaration or complete utter agony.. There Will be no silver lining or .moral victories.. At least not for me , although some seem to think any good season is good enough.
