Celtics deserve this humiliation for the way they treated our Akwa Ibom brother. Firing is one thing but the way they humiliated that nigga. I will be cheering their downfall for sometime


The question now is could this be the last time we see Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown on the same team? Will the Celtics give em both $600mplus



That asides, the celtics threw away their best chance at a championship. Udoka would have done better this season. But the way the league is right now, opposition is tougher. The celtics would not get another opportunity...

For the umpteenth year in a row, we're going to have our regular end of season discussion on whether the Celtics should end the Tatum-Brown project cheesy

They should have traded Brown for KD when the opportunity came. What were they even thinking?

The Heat lead by 21 with only 4 FT attempts. Is this telling us you can win a basketball game despite shooting significantly fewer FTs?

Jaylen Brown embodies the problem with this era. This joker been 7/40 from 3 and kept spamming 3s today. Now finished with 1/9

I'm probably letting him go try his luck someplace else

I'm with you on Ime. He was an arrogant prick tbh but a very good coach nonetheless and they shafted him like he did not make significant strides with the team. They treated him like anyone else could do what he did.

I have nothing against Mazulla and I know he is going to take a bulk of the blame but his players just don't have enough willpower and discipline to go with all the smugness.

Udoka matured them, kept them professional and in check. They completely regressed under Mazulla. Tatum looks like Tatum from 2 years back. Streaky shooter, little court vision

Facts, big facts. I think this is ultimately on the coach, it's your responsibility to draw up plays for your team and ensure your team sticks to it.

When you see your star player struggling, spamming threes and can't draw up a simple play to give him an easy point or preach patience and ball movement, then it means you are either a clueless coach or the players don't respect your voice.

They just need a better coach. Note the two other contenders that did badly in the playoffs have changed coaches - Bucks and 76ers. And the main reason the Heat have gotten this far is coaching. The East is opened to whomever has the most disciplined crew next year.

The more I hear Mazzulla talk the more I realize he's simply unfit for the job.

His strategy at this point is send the players on the court and the more 3s we shoot the more we can win. This only works when you have prime Steph and Klay and this is what a lot of these coaches refuse to understand.

Even look at that game there was a point they kept missing almost ten 3s straight and at no point did they say let's switch it up

Jaylen Brown who used to be a decent 3 level scorer has now embraced Tatum's bad habits of spamming 3s. He's someone that can score exactly like Jimmy does and doesn't need to take more than 3-5 3s a game

They shot 9/42. Just to guarantee they had no shot to win and when you hear Mazzulla it's clear that aside spamming 3s nothing else dey him head

Y’all thought I was joking about his ineptitude all season? This is something I have been wailing about from the start of the season. We have not even talked about throwing the correct lineup, use of time out and final 2 minutes adjustments. Man is a joke when it comes to coaching. I’d admit the players were poor but man, Mazzulla made class clown!

Jokic is already a better player than Howard has ever been. Jokic is a phenomenal playmaker (top 5 all time in my book), a great scorer and rebounder and an adequate defender. Dwight was an all time great defender and great rebounder. But you couldn't run an offense through him and as a scorer we never got to see him at his very best because he adamantly refused in his prime to play an offense which maximized his ability. In his stint with the Lakers, he was told that his PnR scoring efficiency with Nash was number 1 all-time, and they hoped to increase the number of those sets run, but he refused and wanted the ball in the post because of his stupid feud with Shaq.
So Jokic clears for me and if he wins this title, he is going into top 5 center of all time discussion.
