Blud looks lost as well as most of the other Celtics players except probably Tatum, turnover after turnover, missing shots you name it but Mazulla's the major culprit sha

This is a highly undisciplined team. Looking back now they really had no business being here. From Marcus Smart to Tatum and Brown these guys make shockingly bad decisions with the basketball. They cover it up when they're hot but this is just bad.

They have guaranteed Mazzulla so they're stuck with him. He's still a young coach sha so

This might be the greatest underdog story in league history

Maybe they thought they could replicate the Udoka experiment successfully so soon or given this young talented Celtics core they felt Udoka didn't really do much with this team, Losing not just once but twice at home to the less fancied heat in the space of four days might have shown the job came too soon for Mazulla, IMO this team needs a strong willed, experienced Head coach to guide them, the talent is there but several of their games in these playoffs show they lack direction, Players blowing hot today and cold tomorrow like in the case of brown today

Lowkey I want them to lose cos of how they bounced and humiliated Udoka. The only scenario I'd support them is if they and the Lakers somehow recover and end up in the Finals. They're stupid if they really downplayed Udoka's work in that team. What Mazzulla is enjoying now is off Udoka handwork and he is trying to bungle it.

Beyond the coaching too is the players, they lack poise and in tight games they usually find creative ways to lose. Some of it is coaching and some on the players themselves

Blowing a 12 point 4th quarter lead at home in a game you absolutely must win is another level of bottling.

Heat as of now have the better chance of making the Finals. Lakers can still recover. I don't realistically see Celtics winning 4 games out of 5 with 3 of those games in Miami. And even if they win their home record is so atrocious they will likely lose on their court anyway

Yeah the players have their fault too, Only Tatum seemed like he came to play, Most points, most assists, most rebounds, While bam and Martin were valuable sidekicks to Jimmy
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 4:25am On May 20, 2023
Eric spoelstra is an incredible coach, the dude's team is always fine tuned and don't make mental error. Everything I know about basketball and even from listening to commentators and ex-players say zone defense should not work that well against nba caliber players, but time and time again he finds ways to make it not just work but work very well.

The much awaited Celtics vs Lakers finals the media and sponsors were highly looking forward to looks like going up in flames now
No way the heat loses two games in Florida

No lies chief, The heat gat the dawg in them despite being inferior personnel wise to the Celtics but I feel the latter hasn't been playing to their best this playoffs, they had no business dragging the Philadelphia tie to 7 before finishing them off, Udoka won't have taken the heats jejely
As for those yeye Barca boys, the mental block you talked about resurfaced again na, Last year we were favorites and choked too, Yabusele was out this year after his ban for suplexing Exum in the partizan game meaning we had more leeway defensively but we collected our koboko as usual, Mirotic of all people starting finding it hard to hit buckets, Hopefully we don't renew Saras's deal after this season
Mirotic folded like a lunch pail him and that your other big Vesely. They barely scored a bucket the entire first half. Walter Tavares absolutely destroyed them. Meanwhile they weren't missing just Brock Lesnar they also missed Gabriel Deck

Just embarrassing from your team. I expected better.

I have my money on Olympiakos beating them in the Finals though

From play in to nna finals..Omo if Jimmy and spo pulls this off with this depleted rooster, it will be legacy defining.

I think Jaleyn brown wants out of Boston, his performance during this playoffs has been been subpar, almost like he's not focused and be has residual axe to grind from the way he was treated in the off season.

Lastly, while coaching is important, this Celtics are a team of vets, they need to look them in the mirror.
You can't be blowing double digits lead and losing focus all the time.
