I mean honest question, even if they miracle win tonight does anyone actually believe in this team?
no, but at the same time next round whoever wins this series will have a lot more talent, then the finals... who knows.
tHing about this team is they can be amazing or terrible any night, could i see them having 10 more good games... sure

The list of randos who can shut down Tatum is undistinguished and growing by the day.
It was a massive red alert for me that there was a legitimate discussion on the main board about the Celtics needing to make an adjustment becauswcJalen fucking Johnson was defending Tatum so well. A guy that basically got kicked off his college team for lack of effort.

If they lose this series, this team is getting blown up.
They had their chance with Durant. There will never be a better offer coming back. They’ll run with the Jays and hope to draw in a third star.

Nope, got fooled this year yet again but it's the same shit with this core. Not even mad as I'm so used to it. All the props to Philly for fighting hard every game.

Literally all it takes to shut down our offense is sticking a rando bench player in Tatum’s grill. Some star-studded team we have.

Mazzulla’s not the one. We all knew it and it’s being fucking hammered into us over and over again.
God fucking damnit

26, 23, 23 point quarters just won't get it done.

Their stars are outplaying our stars. Sometimes it's that simple

They finally posted up Tatum once and he has the smaller player isolated, blew by him, and gave up any shot to pass to Smart. They never tried it again. Make it make sense.

They're not really running anything that resembles offense. They're just playing hot potato at the three line until someone decides to drive 1 on 4. Boggling.

26, 23, 23 point quarters when you should have the offensive advantage at the PG, SG, and SF spots, and the 6th MOTY.

Joe sucks and needs to be fired. No one can watch his zero changes in this game and think he is ready for this level.
I like Brad's moves around the margins, but big time doubt he's going to make any big changes to include CJM. In the process, jeopardizing the window. We'll see I guess.
