I don't wanna hear any praise for "psycho joe" ever again.

Probably one of the dumber losses I’ve ever seen.

It started in the first half with Porzingis being pathetically soft, unable to finish over or through dudes half his size.

Holiday was just as horrific with his dumb turnovers and lazy defence.

Then we proceed to just continually let them shoot 3s and they obliged and hit plenty.

Think the biggest indictment was a period in the last quarter where the game was still gettable and Jrue Holiday proceeded to not bother to contest two 3s in a row. One was against Highsmith who he didn’t even bother going near despite him shooting like 38% from 3 on the season. Just flat out pathetic defence.

I cannot understate how angry I am with Porzingis’ absolutely pathetic no showing.

It started 5 minutes into the game when Joe pulled a scorching hot Tatum for no **** reason

I know that's the usual rotation for JT but it's another example of Joe has almost no tactical in-game moves at all if his initial plan doesn't work. So while I don't crucify him for pulling JT because we weren't in crisis, it's another example of guy with little creativity or ability to read and react to a game.

We were down six and Tatum started the 4th taking a dumb fadeaway shot and missing 2 Ft’s. Just like game 2 in last year’s ECF Tatum should have taken control and he didn’t, it’s even more troubling because he got beat by role players instead Jimmy Butler. The guy it’s not Top 5 and it’s not looking likely he ever becomes that.

Jinxers said what? I'm tired of losing to them!! every season people claim it will be easy and it never is.

Joe Mazzulla says Celtics were great physically on D, need to fight better for our space offensively and execute better.

No clue!

[Gurton Buster]

BJJ Joe with a front leg kick right to the gnads

[Homerclease]

I’ll never understand pulling your superstar 5 minutes into the game when he’s hotter than the **** sun.

Then to compound your error in the third quarter by pulling your best player down 5 only to go down double digits. Zero feel for the game

Amazing

[KillahGhostface]

Celtics let the Heat dictate their offense, sad days.

KP was catastrophic bad, and as much as it pains me, White’s effort level defensively was atrocious. Holiday too. Mazzulla was….nightmarish lol.

Bring back offensive hierarchy.

I’m going to let the negative people have their time lol. Because quite honestly, there was some concerning things in that game.

We take 47% of our attempts from 3 on average. Only 40% today. That happened only 14 times all season. Just 8-6 in those games.

He should find his space stocking vienna sausages at Walmart

Respect the hell out of Brad Stevens but I'll never understand what he sees in Joe Mazulla. If Plan A isn't working, he's basically just an NPC

The only puzzling move i've seen from Brad. Wtf does he see in this bum?

[Gurton Buster]

Drop coverage is ass.
Our defensive scheme all night was ass.
Joe Mazzulla is ass.

Facts my Dawg.

True.

It's a MASSIVE black mark on Brad that we're stuck with this moron.

That was definitely strange but the Celtics have been good when Tatum has sat all season.

Going to have to look at changing the rotation if Jrue, White and Porzingis are going to be so horrific.

Did Joe just say he liked the majority of our contests on the perimeter? Yeah we’re cooked

[Parliament10]

Wow.

This Celtics Team should have never even trailed against this Heat Squad.
This is pitiful.

The only remedy is to come back and Win three Straight.
What Happened???
