Celtics @ Bucks - January 11, 2024 (102-135)

[pliant schooner]

that was rough

[balmy plaza]

this was sad

JT got injured like

[clear meadow]

the only play i was able to see was the final minute 💀

[balmy plaza]

3 minutes into the first or something

[clear meadow]

actually not even see i had to hear the commentary

[pliant schooner]

but it should’ve never came down to one shot in game 6

we blew the lead so bad

[fallow path]

I’m so afraid of the Heat tho

[fallow path]

FR

WE HAVE DONE RHAT SO MANY TIMES WITH THEM

A 10 point lead with 2 mins left dissapears instantly

[slate badge]

That was the greatest shot in modern-day history tho

[fallow path]

and it’s always the Heat

[clear meadow]

if the celtics blew the lead vs the heat with ime they would have been clowned

[pliant schooner]

yeah imo they’re scarier than last year

[left sand]

not reaching the finals last year was a blessing

getting curbstomped by jokic

[clear meadow]

the celtics were cruising and about to make the finals then all of a sudden jimmy butler had a chance to send the celtics to cancun

[pliant schooner]

maybe if we won the series

[balmy plaza]

tbh it's not even like this was the first time Jimmy has done this

[fallow path]

they did lose my two worst nightmares in Max Strus and Gabe Vincent, but now they got that new rookie😭

[balmy plaza]

that's been Jimmy Butler for years now

hell he did it to the Bucks that same year 😂

[clear meadow]

for me, obviously the celtics can drop a game here or there bc the team is human. but this is a starting lineup of derrick/jrue/JB/JT/KP

i'd genuienly be shocked if someone beats the celtics in a best of 7

[pliant schooner]

oh yeah

[lone needle]

lmaooooooooooo

[fallow path]

LMAO

[clear meadow]

even the bucks i don't think so

[fallow path]

THANASISSS

FLOP CALL

[lone needle]

He gets into the game and flops

[pliant schooner]

forgor we aren’t running with the 2023 roster anymore 💀

[fallow path]

bro couldn’t last 10 seconds😭

[hardy hedge]

Thanasis super bowl

[versed quartz]

Thanasis likes to run the mouth

[fallow path]

pause

[sand palm]

Thanasis legacy game

Fastest flop call ever

[fallow path]

had to be a bet bro

cuz no way

[balmy plaza]

call it paranoia in me but we don't have the greatest 3rd quarters. i'm probably reading too much into it but i interpret this as, Joe isn't that great at making in-game adjustments, which might be a bigger worry in a series

[slate badge]

I think we'd at LEAST put up a fight

[balmy plaza]

i would still take this Celtics team in a Bo7 against any team in the league rn tho

[fallow path]

not with JT injured

[pliant schooner]

dude making it to the finals last year

[left sand]

thought we did

[pliant schooner]

i would’ve been happy

even if we lost in 6 again

[clear meadow]

might be a casual take but i don't buy too much into the coaching

[slate badge]

You mean the team that's getting smashed into a crater at this very moment

[clear meadow]

obviously you can't win with a bad coach

[pliant schooner]

it’s one bad game

[clear meadow]

but other than miami i don't see coaching being an issue for the celtics

[pliant schooner]

in the regular season

[balmy plaza]

we're not like
dogshit, but iirc we're in the bottom half

[left sand]

huh

[balmy plaza]

for 3rd quarters? am i misremembering

[clear meadow]

adrian griffin is lowkey bad

[left sand]

i remember seeing that we were better in q3 this year

[balmy plaza]

yeah i'm fucking lying

[ripe furnace]

If this isn't a scheduled loss then idk what is

Boys are beyond exhausted after last night

[balmy plaza]

my bad

[left sand]

youre good

[slate badge]

Last season made me believe in bad omens

[pliant schooner]

you shouldn’t

[tawny hawk]

I genuinely believe coaching is an issue for us, vs Indiana that final play joe could have called a timeout, and we could have got that luke kornet almost tip in with actual time on the clock we literally needed a basket

[pliant schooner]

they just make you stress more

[balmy plaza]

i agree, i think coaching matters for bad teams, but then when you're a good team, very very few coaches can bump u into a great team, and even then it's a very small bump

[balmy plaza]

tbf we ran a similar play against the TWolves last night and it didn't work, it went to OT

missed the tip in and it went to OT

[clear meadow]

i do think joe is a good coach and i think they can win a chip with him, but if the cs win a chip i don't think it's going to be bc of joe, and same if they lose

[balmy plaza]

might not've been the final possession, but it was late in the 4th i think

[ripe furnace]

One bad game the night after an OT epic against the 2nd best team in the league

I don't see how anyone could look at this game and see it as something bad. They're clearly tired. It happens.

[pliant schooner]

@slate badge

[tawny hawk]

I still like Ime over Joe, but on a scheming level, it looks like some of these coaches are troubling our more trademark strategies, ie attacking the second big. With the teams that haave beaten us, they all show up and outwork us and outscheme us

I think we're definitely tired

Cant win em all

[pliant schooner]

yeah

[balmy plaza]

ah wait i'm not that far off, we're 12th in the league in terms of net rating for 3rd quarters

[slate badge]

Uuuuugh

[tawny hawk]

but I really feel like Joe has a role in this nonethelss

[slate badge]

Why the hell am I being a doomer

[limber pagoda]

The ‘something bad’ is us getting smashed by 40 points and giving up at half time

[ripe furnace]

Timberwolves are also the best defensive team in the league. They're highly physical and draining. That factors into this too

[pliant schooner]

honestly i still don’t want to root against the bucks

i just don’t think they’re that good anymore

[left sand]

feeling negative about the team happens but don't let it consume you

[pliant schooner]

even with this loss

[balmy plaza]

tbh i don't think the difference between Ime and Joe is that big
the drop off between Brad and Ime/Joe is much larger

[tawny hawk]

I dontthink we've been in this situatuion a single time this season, like we got beaten out of our identity, we'll bounce back but its good to slow down this one and pay attention to why we lost this. I agree with this

[clear meadow]

i'd take brad as the gm anyday though

undisputedly the best gm in the league

[pure river]

Ey thanasis minutes

[balmy plaza]

"Why does Brad, the GM and one of the best Celtics coaches in recent history, not simply clone himself and do both at the same time?"

[pliant schooner]

he should be like belichick fr

coach and gm

[clear meadow]

um no

[balmy plaza]

lmao, again, to reiterate
this fucking happens to teams man
Warriors got blown out in the record setting season

[clear meadow]

if belichick is any indication

[pliant schooner]

im kidding

[limber pagoda]

Doesn’t mean getting blown out is good

[balmy plaza]

it's not good, but like, this shit happens

just move on to the next one

if this shit happens two games in a row

and to the rockets

[vast pond]

Not overreacting but if Boston does some bullshit by the end of the szn im dating it all back to this game

[balmy plaza]

then it's worrying

[mellow steppe]

Lmao

[ripe furnace]

It's not good but factoring in what happened last night it isn't surprising lol

[versed quartz]

let's lose by less than 30

[lone needle]

He could pull a popovich. Fire the coach and take over himself

[mellow steppe]

Nah back to back and overtime then next day the bucks? This L is well deserved

[ripe furnace]

A b2b vs the Bucks on two days rest

[mild shuttle]

Portland loss against OKC is being much worse than this

It's something lol

[lone needle]

[slate badge]

Wait HOL UP

ARE THEY CHALLENGING

[pliant schooner]

lmfaooo

[frigid granite]

THE BUCKS SHALL NOT ENJOY THEIR WIN BEING OVER 40+ POINTS!

[pliant schooner]

that’s awesome

[versed quartz]

Thanasis dishing out playoff fouls up 30

[clear meadow]

celtics could use one more bench scorer

[pliant schooner]

would any team like kornet

[balmy plaza]

also i just looked it up, the '96 bulls got blown out by 32 in a game against the Knicks as well

[pliant schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-impossible-thinking-gif-15365675

[mild shuttle]

Thanasis is there because he is really good or just because he is Giannis brother

[versed quartz]

brother

[mild shuttle]

Thanasis also sound like a Ghost Pokémon lol

[balmy plaza]

"Thanatos", greek personification of death type beat

[slate badge]

Does NBA stand for National Blowout Association?

[versed quartz]

Thanasis is the most untradable bench player in NBA history

[pliant schooner]

lol

[balmy plaza]

for both teams 🙂

[ripe furnace]

51 pt lead?????

[balmy plaza]

Bucks can't give Thanasis up and no fucking team wants Thanasis

[ripe furnace]

[mild shuttle]

Porzingis sounds like a Psychic or Bug type Pokemon lol

Only Giannis wants Thanasis

[ripe furnace]

OKC out here playing 2K on rookie

[mild shuttle]

I don't know if leading by 18 is much of a blowout

[slate badge]

Look at POR-OKC

[pliant schooner]

blazers man 😔

[clear meadow]

LMAO?

[pliant schooner]

[mild shuttle]

Portland XD Blazers

Thunder leading by 58 ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

[balmy plaza]

now i'm not one to pile on to a small business
but this company do be selling the most generic milquetoast midwest looking clothing of all time

[pliant schooner]

THANASIS BLOCKING STUFF LMFAOOOO

[halcyon lotus]

guys we're going from the 1 seed down to the 1 seed 💔

[versed quartz]

well this sucked

[halcyon lotus]

depends on your view going into this game

[mellow steppe]

Oh well can't win em all

[mild shuttle]

At least we still have more than 40 games
Hope Celtics find the Best version or themselves
If not, goodbye Championship

[halcyon lotus]

i initially and still do have the mindset of this game being a whatever

we on a hellish b2b

[steep pine]

damn guys we're still above .700 🥺

[limber pagoda]

Nope, this sucked no matter what your view is

[halcyon lotus]

[mild wren]

I mean, even Brady used to lose a game like this to a random ass shitty team here and there en route to a title. Why not the Celtics losing to a good team en route to a title?
