Game 3: Celtics @ Heat - May 21. 2023

[ember crater]

Didn’t mean to reply to that mb

[uneven shard]

Lame conference finals

[hardy canyon]

man fuck the script

[finite apex]

AND 1 PP

[kind vine]

5 to fucking 17 free throws

[bitter summit]

Starters out, sigh

[tough steeple]

mazzulla gave up

[uneven shard]

Nuggets in 4

[finite apex]

ITS STARTIN LADS WE WINNIN

[green wharf]

@here Once again if you guys need to let off some steam please use the #rants channel

[marsh dagger]

99% chance Brown signs that supermax if it's offered. No player no matter how much they talk has turned down that money. Not a single one.

[elfin cape]

Literally didn’t even matter this team conveniently forgot how to shoot 3s

[graceful sleet]

Payton

[vapid hawk]

Pritchard will drop 50 soon

[ionic olive]

bench scores better

[upbeat cloud]

KornDunk

[dusty crag]

If the bench can deliver and get the game around 20ish by like min 8...idk maybe

[finite apex]

HERE WE GO

[pure spoke]

Pritchard master class

[arctic agate]

Least the bench might play with a bit of passion

[vapid hawk]

bench unit are killing it

[velvet steppe]

joe mazz must have something against blake if hes still not in

[timid compass]

we’ll be able to keep tatum and brown but the team building process is gonna be twice as hard with all the cap they’re gonna take up

[vale flare]

idk if you from boston but losing to a philly sports team is the last thing any boston fan wants...

[elfin cape]

Celtics reserves more productive than the starters smh

[empty dirge]

Welp there goes our season

[rich verge]

at least the bench has some dawg

[bitter summit]

Nah 2nd stringers cooking more 💀💀💀💀

[lapis moth]

!score

[onyx matrix]

What do we even do moving forward do we just run it back ?

[graceful sleet]

LETS GOOO

[vapid hawk]

Man bench actually wants to play lmao keep them in for game 4 please

[timid compass]

fire joe and get someone serious

[lapis moth]

holy shit 27 points

[marsh dagger]

Which is really all that needs to be said about the starting 5

[finite apex]

IM FEELIN GOOD MAN

[rich verge]

we need some actual veteran presence not some mf like blake griffin 💀

[pure spoke]

Pritchard MVP i fear

[vital oyster]

get a center like jokic

[elfin cape]

It would be a win if the Celtics lose this game by 20

[dusty crag]

18pt game by 7min tbh doable but the starters have to come back from rest multiple cooking

[hollow rampart]

I absolutely hate Philly but Miami is right up there with Philly

[bitter summit]

Guys what if we went out and tried to pull away Ty Lue to Boston with the Clippers era ending

[vapid hawk]

.score

[ember crater]

Mazulla doesn’t change anything, when problems arise he’s just like “ehh we’ll win the next one then we’ll be back in it” he’s got to go

[finite apex]

LADS LADS LADS

[onyx matrix]

Coaching is going to fix this

[vapid hawk]

close game.

[vernal lantern]

Yeah they can offer him that since the last year of the deal is coming season also important player

[arctic agate]

Did Clippers have an era lol? All that talk and they never managed anything lol

[fierce gazelle]

yeah im done watching this is painful

[timid compass]

in all reality what can the celtics do to retool the roster? nothing. we’re the most loaded team in the league and there isn’t anything you can even really do to improve upon it except find a better coach

[dusty crag]

I def agree there's an air of complacency and that starts at head coach

[pine night]

heat were this close to not being in the playoffs to begin with

[marsh dagger]

If they fire Joe i'll buy Tatum's shoes lol

[fierce gazelle]

theyre always like "its a mental game" and then come out playing so weak mentally the next game like wtf

[rich verge]

they're probably the most unreal 8th seed i've seen

[uncut venture]

L.

[hollow rampart]

How is that on smart

[onyx matrix]

We are just running this back exactly as is

[elfin cape]

The play in is ridiculous but Miami is always resurrected come playoff time

[ember crater]

Wait do you guys think the heat are better without Herro and Oladipo? Would like to see an alternate playoffs with them healthy.

[pure spoke]

.score

[bitter summit]

We need to have an aggressive recruitment off-season with so many issues with our staff. It should be okay though. Coaching market is really hectic so

[raw condor]

oh hell nah we ain't running this shit back get a center

[upbeat cloud]

boston just can't make a 3, 18% for the game

[uncut venture]

gg.

[rich verge]

without tyler yes but dipo was productive when he's healthy

[dusty crag]

Celtics 6-33 from 3pt is rough

[ember crater]

Maybe Gallinari will come back and solve our problems 😂

[ember crater]

Where that bitch at

[timid compass]

caleb martins emergence is sort of scary

[onyx matrix]

Someone on reddit said brown and tatum got into a fight

[rich verge]

lads it's been a pleasure see you in 23/24

[last edge]

?

[raw condor]

they did?

[finite apex]

YEAH SAM HERE WE GO

[elfin cape]

Wouldn’t mind trading for brook Lopez or trading up to 1 for wemby

[hollow rampart]

Alright

[trail trout]

Banned Kim Kitsuragi#0001

[ember crater]

not reddit 😭 but at this point I believe it reddit answering these questions like religion 😭😭😭

[uneven shard]

Wtf

[hollow rampart]

Why the FUCK did we not give Hauser any minutes until now?

[fierce gazelle]

not the white boys giving me hope

[vernal lantern]

No heat are better coached plus they have players who had to scrap for everything Celtics not so much. Also have guys who want & know how to fight

[vapid hawk]

dont think the spurs are letting that happen 💀

[upbeat cloud]

Vincent/Martin have killed the celtics this series

[uneven shard]

What did Kim do

[timid compass]

hopefully they’ll magically grow mindsets as a result

[hardy canyon]

heat timeout 😭

[fallen sphinx]

The comeback is here

[elfin cape]

You never know 🤷‍♂️

[ember crater]

I see brown leaving us

[arctic agate]

Game 4 will be interesting, basically nothing to play for, will the players even care to try. May as well give some of the 2nd string some minutes, they might have more passion for it

[hardy canyon]

dont leave brown

[fallen sphinx]

Guys it ain’t over

[onyx matrix]

He is not turning down the super max

[empty dirge]

Its not even worth watching bro

[dusty crag]

lol wemby ain't leaving san antonio anytime before 2030

[timid compass]

he won’t simply because he can sign the supermax

[worthy anvil]

If we somehow comeback from this I’m doing some crazy things

[green geode]

For less money?

[graceful sleet]

my friend about to clown me

[vale flare]

G

[elfin cape]

Turn on do not disturb dude

[timid compass]

if he wasn’t eligible for that there’s probably an 80% chance he’s gone but we can def keep him now

[royal zenith]

Last Spurs #1 overall pick was Tim Duncan. Nice try

[fallen sphinx]

I say we trade for Tacko fall and semi ojeleye

[graceful sleet]

In school

[ember crater]

Does brown get more money if he signs with the Celtics? Maybe then he’ll stay if y’all right but i don’t think he wants to be on our team

[fierce gazelle]

i wouldve preferred losing in game 7 to the sixers cuz i wouldnt have to watch this 😭

[elfin cape]

Noise cancelling headphones

[onyx matrix]

Which means the team is staying as is for a long time

[timid compass]

yeah he can get more staying than leaving

[ember crater]

Man I think he might still leave but I hope not

[timid compass]

well it’s going to be harder to build around 2 supermax deals than none

[vapid hawk]

mazulla should just start the reserves next game, gonna be down 3-0 might as well try. not like the current starting lineup is working

[empty dirge]

Why do i feel that daniel theis could do a better job than al horford rn

[onyx matrix]

Like i guess we could combine contracts and use all our picks for some disgruntled star

[green geode]

Yes we can offer super max. You asked him what he's planning?

[uneven shard]

What is flight gonna say

[timid compass]

we’re gonna have to let go of dudes in the future but hopefully tatum and brown can elevate so that doesn’t matter

[vernal lantern]

I Hope Wemby works out honestly hope he stays injury free as well. Could be face of league if all experts are right

[royal zenith]

I pray for this man’s knees

[ember crater]

Why is this game closer now

[graceful sleet]

I’m gonna try to rebuild Celtics

[arctic agate]

I still think he might walk, he doesnt seem committed, the office do try and trade him every chance they get, its not like he needs to worry about money now

The spurs have kinda have a thing where every single #1 pick they get is a generational talent. David Robinson, Timmy, Wemby, they’re not letting him go

[finite apex]

cant wait to be the first team to comeback from 3-0

[pine night]

wow luke kornet made a three

[uneven shard]

16 points 🤡

[vapid hawk]

jimmy butler barely had to work tonight lol

[bitter summit]

By the way. We’ve seen a steady decline of Horford since last year’s finals. Just so much slower and all post-season a lack of offensive output. Do you guys think we’ll have to search for a replacement or atleast consider his place on the roster next year

[onyx matrix]

Yeah we are getting swept for sure

Not as many issues as the Celtics

mine did last year

I hope, such an underrated coach

i’m hoping for nick nurse

[ember crater]

Why did the sixers even fire doc rivers? He wasn’t bad this year was he?

[onyx matrix]

Sigh 😦 im so bummed that all we can do is run it back or trade for geriatric dame and mortgage our future

[vital oyster]

why does the 3rd unit have more heart

[toxic needle]

We still giving up wide open shots to Martin💀💀

[hearty condor]

4-3

[vapid hawk]

if the reserves were starting yall would be up no cap

[toxic needle]

this mofo has killed us all series and we still haven’t learnt

[green geode]

Getting destroyed by a bunch of nobody's.

[vapid hawk]

these guys got dawg

[hollow rampart]

This Celtics team is just like the patriots and Mac Jones man

One year they look great and things clicking

Next year they take a MASSIVE step back and look terrible and a huge part is due to coaching

[royal zenith]

bro how we let gabe vincent look like steph

[empty dirge]

And this point me and thr boys can do better than this horseshittery

[timid compass]

nick nurse won a ring the one time he had a legit roster so hopefully he could do the same shit here

[finite apex]

its hard to stay happy

[vapid hawk]

I don’t think underrated and doc rivers should ever be used in the same sentence again. He’s widely considered a top 10 coach while lowering the peak of every good roster he’s coached. He’s only good if your team is supposed to be a bottom feeder

[pine night]

literally raining 3s i cant with this

[onyx matrix]

We arnt firing mazz after extending him

[slender salmon]

mazulla should run zone

[green geode]

8th seed

[vapid hawk]

Yup its over

[hollow rampart]

Why not?

[worthy anvil]

Put mazulla in

[vapid hawk]

Nick nurse

[grave anvil]

was bouta say comeback but

[pine night]

no reason to be optimistic for this team

They’re not nobodys anymore. We’ve got to respect them. This is shooting clinic from Duncan Robinson, Gabe Vincent and Caleb Martin.

not firing mazzulla would be one of the worst decisions this franchise could possibly make

why we salty at the refs when they are bitching us by 30 lmao

[uneven shard]

Guys I don't think here's a comeback

[subtle umbra]

Might as well start now

[pine night]

we SUCK

[vapid hawk]

refs are helping the heat obviously but they still crush the celtics with all this shooting

[elfin cape]

[leaden lagoon]

these polls are so funny to make

i ironically think mazzulla will pan out to be a similar coach to doc rivers. great floor raiser, terrible ceiling raiser. he’s great with the actual schematics of basketball but an abysmal leader
