Possibly the worst Celtics performance of the year given the circumstances. They didn’t really show an interest in winning this game.

Quickest way to spot an emotional fan or an uneducated “analyst” is to see them calling for Mazzulla’s job or JB to be moved. You put way too much emphasis on eastern conference regular season performance that has meant next to nothing for the better side of 20 years.

Holy rock fight

The Eastern Conference Playoffs are the best for the absolute dumbest reasons

NBA fans be like - (Team wins a game) WE HAVE THE BEST COACH IN THE LEAGUE (Team loses a game) FIRE THIS BUM

The Orlando Magic shot 4-37 in the second half and might not be the lowest scoring team in the league tonight. Are we back in the 90’s or has 3pt variance finally begun to show its broadside?

JT sitting is a win/win for BOS. JM needs to incorporate the bench more. If they lose, back to the drawing board without risking their star players future. If they win, the bench made an impact that should gain JMs trust moving forward. Go Cs!

The Celtics have officially entered the “throwing shit at the wall” phase of this series

If it’s possible to lose a coach the year award over 3 playoff games, I’m afraid Joe Mazz might’ve just done it. Maybe this is how much he hates that award 😭

The Celtics offensive collapse over the last 3 games needs to be studied

Loved this Celtics team. So easy to root for and will miss watching them. A lot of good, bad, and ugly, but there’s always a lot of hope for the future with this franchise! #bleedgreen

Moneyball never wins in the post season in any sport.

Can someone explain why the NBA playoff games tonight overlap when there’re only two games? Is the NBA really that bad at scheduling or is this some network bureaucratic BS I’m not familiar with?

What exactly does Beef Stew do out there on the court outside of try to fight people and foul?

James Harden is gonna catch a ton of heat for his game 2 performance and that’s very fair - but I almost just gave myself whiplash looking at the box score… Evan Mobley - ONE REBOUND?!?

If SGA ever goes to the Lakers the NBA will just have him shoot free throws until the clock hits 0:00

I love KG and Pierce for life but this is an incredibly cooked take. The Celtics played 65 games without Tatum this year. There’s also zero indication that they didn’t know he was going until an hour before the game - the Celtics likely knew for a day and kept it under wraps.

At what point do you just not pick up Sam Presti’s phone calls?

If Maxey isn’t gonna take open looks why’s he on the court?

I’m 95% sure the lChoosing Texas” singer is the Hawk Tuah girl - she just dyed her hair brunette and got a spray tan.
