You can quote me on this and it’s not just game thread. I have been 100% all in since preseason game 1. I am off the bandwagon after tonight.

Everyone has acted as if winning this series is a foregone conclusion, easiest path to the finals in history and all that. Maybe the team feels the same, certainly don’t see much of a sense of urgency and a pretty lame crowd too
If they lose this series, they should make major personnel changes. They were -1200 favorites for a reason.

If Tillman doesn’t want to shoot a fucking layup he can’t play.

We had a discussion about defensive rebounding proper to playoffs—-this is why

I fundamentally do not understand the Tillman and Al minutes, and our inability to set anything up for Hauser in the postseason.
I really fucking hate the double big lineups. I can somewhat tolerate it when it’s KP and Horford. Horford and Tillman together is really goddamn stupid

This line up needs to not happen at this point in this game. It’s playoff game within reach. Treating it like a regular season game. Wake the fuck up Joe

Tatum and CJM are getting fucking worked by their peers in this one. Jeesh.

I wanted Cleve instead of Orlando in order to avoid getting worn out by Orlando's physical play. The risk being that Cleve's high end was higher.
Fjgured so long as celts played well and hard, it didn't matter. And if the did not, it also did not matter.

4Q of playoff game for home court, down 10, Tillman in and Tatum on the bench. It’s the freakin playoffs!!! What is going on here? Zero sense of urgency by Joe and nobody supports him more than me but this approach stinks and it sucks!

Probably an overreaction but I’d empty the bench. This effort level won’t cut it, might as well send the starters a message.
