This is totally in the head coach. I never whine about coaching, but what the hell was the game plan?

You guys probably still win this in 6, and It's going to be a good warm up for y'all against the Nuggets :wink:

Good luck

The excuse will be oh they can’t shot like that again. How many times have they done it now. This team never learns. If they don’t start off aggressive like they did in game 1 the Heat will attack. The more close the game is, it always favors Miami against us.

Curious as to your thoughts on Joe Mazz today? You've been harping about us seeing what Joe has been preparing for for the entirety of the regular season. Does our coach look prepared to you?


I curious too. This guy said that Joe has something for the playoffs that he won’t let them see in the regular season. Fierce is the biggest Joe fan boy in here. I bet his excuse would be that the heat won’t shoot like this again. Its not jOe’s fault that they shoot like this .That its an anomaly. Same thing he said last playoffs lol.

But will Joe actually be fired?

I think his situation is pretty similar to Max Allegri at Juve. No matter how bad he is, no matter how silly his gameplans are, he's still there, unless some catastrophy happens (After 3 years).

The Heat are a team who shoots 3s at 37%.

In this game, they shot 53.5%.

It's just a case of the Heat playing above their capability.

Joe had this same game plan in Game 1 and the Cs won by 20.

You take the good with the bad with this Celtics team.

I keep saying that this Celtics team has a higher % of winning it all next season.

So something like this doesn't surprise me anymore.

It's just so hilarious that some here keep saying Joe is a bad coach and yet they expect the Cs to win a championship this year.

I'll say it again, if the coach is bad, the Celtics can't execute in the clutch, and Tatum is inconsistent or not an alpha, why in the world are you guys expecting the Cs to win a championship?

Boston gonna win this series. I'm sure of that. But after that I dunno. They may have more talent but the other teams have bigger hearts and more killer instinct in them. How much more facing the Nuggets with Jokic who doesn't seem bothered by pressure everytime and everytime he delivers alongside Murray. We maybe built like a championship team but we struggle like an 8th seed.

Was he the one defending ? What happened in that 3rd quarter? It’s easy to blame the coach. I am not a fan of the guy but this team has been through a number of coaches already. That year they made the finals with imeke they were very fortunate.

Tatum needs to lead this bunch. KP with a no show is unacceptable. You knew they would be better, you tslked about it and you still werent ready. Same old **** I’ve been seeing for the past six years

Thanks, man. But having a much better coach (or actually having a real NBA coach) makes total difference. If you guys had Jimmy healthy, this would be a massacre.

Why do you say we have a higher chance to win it all next year? is it because of the more experience with the group with another year?

He had the wrong defensive gameplan. And refused to put the right one in when it was clear the direction this was heading. Was he the only problem? No. But if Joe does the basic ****, we win this despite KP and Jrue's bad days.
