Celts Order a 6 Piece But Only Get 5! Loss vs Nuggets 3/7 

Post#1 » by bisme37 » Fri Mar 8, 2024 5:35 am

Well hell you guys that sucked! I know we all wanted to win that one and now we are officially grumpy!

Nuggets played amazing tonight I thought. Really it's kinda crazy we had a chance there in the end and only lost that game by a few. Jokic was rolling and they had a bunch of crazy dunks in the 4th. Meanwhile Celts had a nightmare game from 3 and the free throw line and Tatum had a rough one. Sucked but it wasn't our night to get out of Denver with a win. Jaylen had a huge game so shoutout to him.

I'm wiped! Have a good night and try not to get too upset Celtics pals. It'll be awesome if we get a chance to beat those guys in the Finals.

Suns Saturday, Go C's!

Hate on Tatum all you want but when the team is taking a three pointer, down by 1, with a 3 vs 1 INSIDE the paint, you wonder what the coach is doing all week.

Top 3 reasons we lost:

Tatum shriveling up to nothing in the moment.

Brown missing 7 free throws.

Pritchard not giving us a single stat other than a foul in 10 minutes of floor time.

Keep searching Brad, Tatum isn't taking this group to the promised land.

Some may see this following comment as negative.But the celtics are frauds starting with tatum until proven otherwise..

As for Brown missing 7 free throws in a close game is beyond pathetic for a pro player.Even more so considering he's getting paid three hundred million dollars.

Both Jays didn't have it from three, but at least Brown attacked the rim all game. Tatum's middle name is quickly becoming "passive".

Tatum nuke that fast break with dumbass lob pass to Brown. This game is entirely on him. The rest of the team showed up when it mattered except Tatum

Celtics are winning it all.

Horrible game and they barely lost.

Tatum has been Brock Purdy against Mahomes vs Denver

I hate the coach.Maybe more than anyone on here but this game had Very little to do with our clueless coach.

This game was on tatum and brown..

Seriously doubt this team is beating Denver in a series

I’ve seen enough of Tatum in big games. Dude is a complete wimp and deserves every bit of hate he gets.

Another complete no show from him against the Nuggets because just like Miami they throw bodies in his way and he **** his pants.

Embarrassing FT shooting from Jaylen Brown.

Porzingis is one soft mother ****. Not even talking offensively. Jacked way too many jumpers when he had midgets on him.

Another season where the record is a bit of a mirage as to how good we really are.

They are but we'll have home court and that's not nothing. Celtics should've won the first game for sure

That happens because they're practicing 60 threes a game.

They don't know how to do a 3 on 1 fast break because it's not what they're practicing.

Tatum, our supposed superstar, and definitely on Larry Bird’s level, wilts YET AGAIN under the brightest lights. As Yogi Berra once said, it’s like deja vu all over again. I’d recommend getting used to disappointment in the playoffs for my fellow Celtics fans.

And we won't beat a good coach in a series with Payton Pritchard seeing any minutes of floor time in the playoffs. We needed a bench PG upgrade.

Last season, we beat every team at least once. That's off the table now.

That's the only thing I'm sad about.

Jaylen missing 7 F T's hurt but he was the main reason we were still in this game until the final 30 seconds or so.

Bit disappointed in Tatum.

Overall though, this loss is far more palatable than the disaster in Denver..

I am encouraged we fought it out with the Nuggets with not much impact from Tatum

People being negative after this are hilarious. We literally gave the game away with missed layups and free throws and Denver barely took it.
