Celtics 2023 - 2024 Discussion

Seems Tillman should be playing more minutes. He’s the only guy who can guard Luka. Too much finesse and quickness for the Celtics, not enough size and strength.

The only silver lining here is that if Dallas loses it will be ****ing hilarious. I’d like to see the Cs at least make one big run in the 3rd quarter just to see if Dallas comes unglued.

Don’t know if I’ve ever seen this before. At halftime, only two players have exceeded 3 points.

I'm giving Dallas more credit than some. They clearly have come to play on both ends of the floor. Celtics may have come out flat but Dallas is definitely making things worse for them.

A bit worrisome as it's basically a continuation of the 4th quarter a few nights ago. Hopefully Boston can adjust to whatever is happening right now.

We've all been praising Joe. It's time for him to earn it. I expect some major adjustments in the third quarter.

Need rebounds and Pritchard can’t hit the side of a barn the past couple weeks.

The announcers have been garbage the whole series but they did make a good point that the Celtics switch so much on defense that it isn't unusual to end up with guards on the blocks. Dallas may be purposefully creating situations to contribute to this.

Attempting to get a rebound or two would be nice. Lots of white jerseys standing around under the basket watching a Mav snatch the ball in this one.

Would be right up there with the 27-3 SB. I hope someone leaned in to Tatum or Brown and said "it's gonna be a hell of a story Bro".

Luka mock laughing after picking up an obvious foul after getting every imaginable call and non-call the entire game

I would hate to have to root for him

 

[The Brandon Five]

Ok, so the league wants more than four games. That's clear.

 

[Keep Up With The Joneses]

Dressing KP was clearly just a mind game. If he could play he would have seen some time by now. He's likely done for the year.

Well they were losing by 28 in the 3rd

 

[Ununcle]

Wow. Their gonna beat us by 40?

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

I’m glad this wasn’t the game 3 dynamic.

 

[raduray]

It's with trepidation that I'm listening all the talk coronating the Celtics. But they're still one game away and there's always a first time that a team will come back from a 0-3 deficit. I'm hoping the Celtics themselves don't buy in that it's a given they'll win. They need to sharpen the dagger.

See, this is what I was worried about.

Maybe. **** happens. Celtics lost to the
Lakers by 33 in’84 and won the title and the next year beat the Lakers by 34 and lost

 

[Ununcle]

It's not fair. Their "Running up the score". Why would they not sit their starters?

 

[raduray]

Ok, so the league wants more than four games. That's clear.

This is definitely not on the refs.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

It’s amazing that Donkey is so beaten up he can barely walk to his locker but is full throttle padding his stats with a 30+ point lead with 5:00 left in the 3rd quarter.

 

[ausbacker]

Give the Celtics can't hit the side of a barn today, why Joe hasn't pulled all the starters and let the bench play this out is beyond my understanding.

This is a bad situation to pick up a meaningful injury in a lost cause.

Tough to do that in the middle of the third quarter but I hear ya
