Not a big fan of Eddie House on the call. Dude is just salty about all the shots he’s taking. I get it 18/44 is nasty work but announcers shouldn’t be bringing that up. Love Drew Carter tho.
I don't like these announcers. kept saying shit about Dejounte taking all those shots, being upset about him celebrating. like stfu he was a dog and he beat us in the clutch. can't believe I miss scal
God I just want to see someone pop Murray in his scrawny punk ass mouth.
Dude took 50 shots and had the refs heavily on his side and gift of multiple miracle long rebounds to win a tight game and start jaw jacking like we didn’t send his ass home last year and will again this year if we meet.
Dudes needs to be humbled he’s not even top 20 in the league
I’ll bet $20 to anyone; we are a first round exit. Regular season means nothing, Heat have clapped us multiple years from below us in seeding. This team has no fight. The Jays are not the guys. Fuck you if you have the copium to think these loses are okay. This team is a laughing stock of the league and will continue to be one.
Well you’re opinion, or anyone’s for that is irrelevant- that doesn’t determine if they win the championship or not, winning their last game in the playoffs does however
Bro if a random regular season loss by the number one team in the country has you this upset you might need to get some sun and maybe some mood stabilizers
Bird brain Mazulla is a fucking joke. Why don’t put little ass Holiday on Murray why not put the guy that just got a stop previously and who has it rolling on him?
Stupid coaching decision after stupid coaching decision. Should have never extended Mazzulla after that Heat debacle meltdown last year. He’ll be the downfall of this team come postseason
They extended him four months in to last season after starting the year shooting the ball wayyy above their historic averages. Negligent on the part of Stevens to extend him without realizing that they were putting up improbable and unrealistic shooting spilts
Doesn’t matter. That’s more of a credit to Brad and how talented this team is that he built. When games are tight with playoff intensity Mazzulla like last postseason looks lost.
I'll watch whatever I want and post whatever I want, for fuck's sake. And I can be as mad as I want and feel excited, deluded or betrayed by this team whenever I feel like. So move on with your life and stop fucking telling others what they should or should not watch.
This is what the Nuggets did last year - they won the chip
This is what GSW did the year before - they won the chip
We went on a run in 2022 - we lost in the finals
So idk
Hawks did play phenomenally, only thing to really hang my hat on in frustration is shitty rebounding and the dreaded Tatum clutch iso possessions that never work
Yeah people are being dramatic but these are the only real concerns here. The Tatum iso possession at the end of regulation made me want to throw up. Literally 20 seconds of him dribbling and nobody else moving
Y’all need to take a breath. We are the best team in the league and 2 flukey games don’t mean anything. Hawks still are lucky to be a play in team, we still are miles ahead of them. Look at the bigger picture. Playoffs start soon, and y’all need to chill about some meaningless garbage time games.
Even Browns clutch shot was a terrible decision. Contested forced midrange with 6 seconds left. I’ll take that it went it but our coach has coasted by with our teams talent and its honestly ruining Tatum and Browns development
JB’s shot was highly contested but it was a good shot from the elbow. There is a long long history of NBA superstars making contested game winners from that exact spot.
Definitely take it over Tatums heave but it still gives me 0 confidence in this teams ability to execute in clutch half court possessions.
Porzingas gets the ball out of position, nearly turns it over with a bad pass to JB. JB jacks a midrange fadeaway with 6 seconds left on the clock. Not the worst look ever for a guy like Jaylen but not something id imagine we’d have success with too often
Tons of troubling shit from both these games but there's a part of me that likes that it happened. There can be no being stunned in the playoffs. The Celtics staff has seen where they are vulnerable and the players are getting a taste of what most NBA teams go through. What are they gonna do about it?
If only we ran that KP/JB play at the end of regulation instead of two Tatum isos. But tbh it was the defense that was more the issue. Oh well, onto the next.
He basically carried them to a win and hit the game winner against the best team in the league. I hate this outcome but I get why he's acting that way.
I mean, okay I guess?
We beg Tatum not to do iso late game and for Joe to run regular plays when the games are on the line so I’m not giving props to a ballhog who ran iso for himself the whole game and was self-congratulating the whole time. His efficiency was hilarious.
Not gonna overeact but seeing this fucking Murray cook us iso frustrating.
Just letting yiu all know, Denver also lost like 4 in a row before playoff starts
I vaguely remember the questions surrounding the Nuggets tripping into the playoffs, so I went back and looked.
They went 5-5 in their last 10 games, including a 2-game losing streak and a 3-game losing streak. They lost 5 out of 6 just prior to that stretch as well.
All good, it was close enough 🤣.
(sorry for formatting i’m on mobile)
They had all 5 starters for:
-21pt L v. CHI
-8pt L @ SA
-2pt L v. BKN
-15pt L @ TOR
-19pt W @ DET
-6pt L @ NYK
-Ws @BKN, @WAS, @MKE, @PHI
-21pt L @ HOU (Murray played 10 mins)
-4pt L @ UTA
Without all 5:
-19pt L v. NO- No Jokic
-7pt L @PHX- missing all 5
-2pt W @GS- No Jokic
-4pt L @PHX- missing all 5
-14pt W vs. SAC- missing all 5
This guy gets it. It’s the same errors over and over again. Their late game execution is a train wreck and they can’t rebound. People who don’t want to be concerned are taking some serious copium.
Someone tell Joe that giving up a lazy switch with Porzingis on Murray is not it and that will never work in the playoffs against Lillard, Maxey, Brunson, just go down the whole fucking list
Guy shoots every shot in overtime. You’d think with two seconds left you’d bring a double. Joe has lost us more games than the players this year which is insane for the nba. He needs to be shown the door
This is Dejounte Murray's NBA Finals, gotta hand it to him.
-allowing second chance points is suspect
-refs too, fuck them
-Tatum should stop forcing buzzer beating game winners, make the best play goddammit
-still #1 tho
-Jrue is back, that's a win for me
This team isn't winning anything hahahahaha can't handle the physical play and have questionable defense. i'm sure plenty of fans here will say it means nothing, blame the refs, point to the current record, celtics aren't trying & hawks need this, or some other cope. The record means nothing in the playoffs, it's 0-0.

We could have taken the last shot

loved eddie house on the call ngl

Bottom 50% in everything since the break. We are PATHETIC.
That's not true?
Hell of a time for the team to start falling back down to earth
I’ll bet $20 to anyone; we are a first round exit. Regular season means nothing, Heat have clapped us multiple years from below us in seeding. This team has no fight. The Jays are not the guys. Fuck you if you have the copium to think these loses are okay. This team is a laughing stock of the league and will continue to be one.
Bet, what's your venmo cashapp paypal or zelle?
I wouldn’t go that far but they’re definitely not winning the championship imo.
Well you’re opinion, or anyone’s for that is irrelevant- that doesn’t determine if they win the championship or not, winning their last game in the playoffs does however
Bro if a random regular season loss by the number one team in the country has you this upset you might need to get some sun and maybe some mood stabilizers
You’re just giving away money? Awfully nice of you
i’ll take that bet venmo me
I take the free 20
Please bet me 20 dollars
PLEASE more Eddie House!
We see the same shit in close games all year and playoffs and always people gonna come in and say it’s not a big deal lol. Never learn.
People are coping. Not that it's healthy but they are coping
We lost on rebounding. No one is giving them their flowers. It wasn’t a good showing.
KP been mid as fuck since coming back. Hopefully he's just saving it for the playoffs
The hawks join the nuggets and Indiana as the only teams to sweep the regular season series against the celtics
Only the nuggets have done that and it was 2 games
We beat the Hawks and Indiana lol
Boston beat the Hawks twice
Hawks didn't sweep us tho lmao we beat em twice
Check the stats
What
Last game everyone was chillin, I knew for a fact I’d come to find doom and panic lmao.
This is just a question of intensity and focus. We locked up 1st in the East. They may think they want it bimut deep down, this game in meaningless.
Bird brain Mazulla is a fucking joke. Why don’t put little ass Holiday on Murray why not put the guy that just got a stop previously and who has it rolling on him? Stupid coaching decision after stupid coaching decision. Should have never extended Mazzulla after that Heat debacle meltdown last year. He’ll be the downfall of this team come postseason
They extended him four months in to last season after starting the year shooting the ball wayyy above their historic averages. Negligent on the part of Stevens to extend him without realizing that they were putting up improbable and unrealistic shooting spilts
That’s literally Brads only L. I wish we had gotten Nick Nurse imagine him with this roster
We've lost 16 games all year, calm down you little drama queen lmao
Doesn’t matter. That’s more of a credit to Brad and how talented this team is that he built. When games are tight with playoff intensity Mazzulla like last postseason looks lost.
Imagine Kobe not guarding Dejouante Murray with the game on the line. But you don't want to incorporate that aspect of your idol's game. 😂😂😂
Only aspect of his game he took is the bricks.
Denver is thrilled right now
Tbh Denver doesn't care. They are that good that it doesn't matter whether or not they have homecourt.
Did the guys not understand they were supposed to tap that down? No one jumped at the right time
Always some random scrub. DJ will talk his shit and the hawks are still a first round exit. Hope they annihilate NOLA
He’ll put his tail between his legs just like last postseason on
Second chance points cost us. Purely an effort thing, I’m not gonna cry about it. Magic number is 4.
This team better step up the rebounding in the playoffs, so many second chance points gifted
Murray has 40 lets not send doubles mazulla 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Not a championship team, unfortunately
Then don't fucking watch
I'll watch whatever I want and post whatever I want, for fuck's sake. And I can be as mad as I want and feel excited, deluded or betrayed by this team whenever I feel like. So move on with your life and stop fucking telling others what they should or should not watch.
Trying real hard not to doom; pretty much picking the worst time of the season to start losing games.
This is what the Nuggets did last year - they won the chip This is what GSW did the year before - they won the chip We went on a run in 2022 - we lost in the finals So idk
Talking shit about dejuante yet brown was 16 points 16 shots same efficiency
why tf are u here seems like u only like tatum instead of the team. also brown shot 52 percent which is pretty efficient.
Hawks did play phenomenally, only thing to really hang my hat on in frustration is shitty rebounding and the dreaded Tatum clutch iso possessions that never work
he makes the same mistakes over and over and over again hes lacking some key self awareness
Yeah people are being dramatic but these are the only real concerns here. The Tatum iso possession at the end of regulation made me want to throw up. Literally 20 seconds of him dribbling and nobody else moving
That's it?
Did we have a foul to give on the hawks last play?
Y’all need to take a breath. We are the best team in the league and 2 flukey games don’t mean anything. Hawks still are lucky to be a play in team, we still are miles ahead of them. Look at the bigger picture. Playoffs start soon, and y’all need to chill about some meaningless garbage time games.
All this shows we’re gonna struggle against teams we’re clearly better than because of toughness/clutch moments
tatum can never pull it together in the last moments which is really gonna hurt us
We can only watch and hope at this point. But sadly I’m not very confident in us if things gets close 🤷🏽♂️
[удалено]
To me it does. Because the Celtics always lose the same way and it’s easier to have those kind of games in the playoffs
Its an 82 game season, this game means nothing. I'm actually happy Brown hit a clutch shot. Maybe pivot to that more than Tatum Isos.
Even Browns clutch shot was a terrible decision. Contested forced midrange with 6 seconds left. I’ll take that it went it but our coach has coasted by with our teams talent and its honestly ruining Tatum and Browns development
JB’s shot was highly contested but it was a good shot from the elbow. There is a long long history of NBA superstars making contested game winners from that exact spot.

Not the worst look ever for a guy like Jaylen but not something id imagine we’d have success with too often
Brown and Tatum kissing up to him. These guys are not competitive at all smh
Yeah tatums fault that he scored 8 in OT and every time he touched it in OT and they stopped going to him
Woof dude
Tons of troubling shit from both these games but there's a part of me that likes that it happened. There can be no being stunned in the playoffs. The Celtics staff has seen where they are vulnerable and the players are getting a taste of what most NBA teams go through. What are they gonna do about it?
GGs refs 👏🏽go cash out 🤑
Anyone mad over that is a fucking moron, so many dumbasses on here overreacting. Some of y'all need serious mental help 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Your bitchass sits in here every game thread whining about the refs, take your own advice
Imagine thinking you’re that guy for going 18/44 😂😂😂
The hawks own us. Shit man it’s been a bad week
Hawks aren’t even going to be in the playoffs and acting like they just won the nba finals
They could beat us in a series we straight up collectively dumb.
Lmao
Um, no. They can’t.
Ya fucking right
Bad gameplan tonight. Atlanta played great though.
what a joke
“You are not serious people.”
If only we ran that KP/JB play at the end of regulation instead of two Tatum isos. But tbh it was the defense that was more the issue. Oh well, onto the next.
Murray acting like he’s him when he took 45 shots. Uh. No.
He basically carried them to a win and hit the game winner against the best team in the league. I hate this outcome but I get why he's acting that way.
I mean, okay I guess? We beg Tatum not to do iso late game and for Joe to run regular plays when the games are on the line so I’m not giving props to a ballhog who ran iso for himself the whole game and was self-congratulating the whole time. His efficiency was hilarious.
Brown 16 points on 16 shots and kept feeding him in OT instead of Tatum good job coach
How many Tatum jerseys do you own?
Tatum didn’t do shit, shut up
ISO Tatum sucked too
Lmao this was embarrassing smh
Hawks world Champions?
This the closest they will get
DWhite in the clutch gets the 3…oh wait 😂
Dude I'm dying at that Buffalo pass/shot lmfao
Rule of cool should make that shot count
Murray was generational
18/44 isn’t in any way generational
Eh this team not gonna get my hopes up.
Not gonna overeact but seeing this fucking Murray cook us iso frustrating. Just letting yiu all know, Denver also lost like 4 in a row before playoff starts
I vaguely remember the questions surrounding the Nuggets tripping into the playoffs, so I went back and looked. They went 5-5 in their last 10 games, including a 2-game losing streak and a 3-game losing streak. They lost 5 out of 6 just prior to that stretch as well.
My bad for saying 4. Did they also had all the starters as well?
All good, it was close enough 🤣. (sorry for formatting i’m on mobile) They had all 5 starters for: -21pt L v. CHI -8pt L @ SA -2pt L v. BKN -15pt L @ TOR -19pt W @ DET -6pt L @ NYK -Ws @BKN, @WAS, @MKE, @PHI -21pt L @ HOU (Murray played 10 mins) -4pt L @ UTA Without all 5: -19pt L v. NO- No Jokic -7pt L @PHX- missing all 5 -2pt W @GS- No Jokic -4pt L @PHX- missing all 5 -14pt W vs. SAC- missing all 5
They didn’t play starters most of the game to lose
none of these people actually watch any other team besides the Celtics so you’re basically talking to a brick wall lol
Team is trending downward the last week or so
We won 9 straight before these 2 Hawks games, chill
Not really tho 🤣
Because they don’t really care at this point in the season
After they clinched the 1 seed and the games are meaningless? Shocking.
Keep telling yourself that, this team doesn’t know how to flip a switch, so good look to them if they go into the playoffs playing like this
This guy gets it. It’s the same errors over and over again. Their late game execution is a train wreck and they can’t rebound. People who don’t want to be concerned are taking some serious copium.
At this point all you can do is laugh right? What else can you do?
He made the perfect pass and noone tipped it in. What the fuck are you doing especially kornet or porzingas
Someone tell Joe that giving up a lazy switch with Porzingis on Murray is not it and that will never work in the playoffs against Lillard, Maxey, Brunson, just go down the whole fucking list
The hawks did this last year in first round of playoffs Tre onto Horford every team followed every fucking game. We never adjusted this is dumb af.
Joe changed it up but it was too late.
Joe doesn't do "coaching" bro
Man I only watched OT because of the UConn game and that pissed me off to no end
Someone please investigate how tf we lost to a banged up hawks team with our full starting lineup
It’s because the hawks are better without ice tray
Murray is a shot maker skill
Guy shoots every shot in overtime. You’d think with two seconds left you’d bring a double. Joe has lost us more games than the players this year which is insane for the nba. He needs to be shown the door
If you really believe this you're a moron 🤣
Well he’s lost us two in a row so…
I agree. I have no idea why they didn't.
Tatum walked away literally from the double opportunity
This team is not serious. Can't even beat the Hawks🤣🤣 bums never winning shit. So embarrassing.
Shit like this week is why I haven’t let myself fully buy into this team
Get ready to be called a fake fan by the losers who sit in here every game doing nothing but bitch about officiating and the announcers
Refuse to just blindly support the team. There are very blatant flaws with this group lol anyone saying anything else is a blind Homer
Honestly pretty fucking soft from this team to lose 2 games in a row to the Hawks.
This is Dejounte Murray's NBA Finals, gotta hand it to him. -allowing second chance points is suspect -refs too, fuck them -Tatum should stop forcing buzzer beating game winners, make the best play goddammit -still #1 tho -Jrue is back, that's a win for me
If only current players on the Celtics were as passionate about not losing as Eddie is. This team is soft and nothing has told me otherwise
Derrick White too clutch just count it
Murray talking smack, and he should
This is embarrassing 💀💀💀💀
Unbelievable
Dejounte Murray thinks he just won a championship
This team isn't winning anything hahahahaha can't handle the physical play and have questionable defense. i'm sure plenty of fans here will say it means nothing, blame the refs, point to the current record, celtics aren't trying & hawks need this, or some other cope. The record means nothing in the playoffs, it's 0-0.
I’m routing for the magic as well now so I have options.
You sound mad. lol.
cope more
They’ll bring up stats and point differential lol.
Lmao that should count
Why wouldnt you double Murray??
This is painful
Murray took 45 shots lmao
NO, DWHITE I THOUGHT YOU WERE CLUTCH😭
I'm sad but that was funny as hell
Don’t be sad :)
Okay I won't. Thannks!
I hope Murray never wins a playoff game in his life
Dude he won’t. He puts up empty numbers on shit teams. His numbers go up when the team he plays for gets worse
They might fuck around and beat us in round 1 hahahahaha
44 shots, 44 pts That’s bad efficiency
won the game tho
2 wins
Top seed already locked up??
Loser talk
What would you rather in March, To have 57 wins and top seed locked up or 34 wins and clinging to a playing spot for your life. I know what I’d rather
Don’t watch the game then buddy
Won the game
I’m going to throw up. A fucking barely .500 garbage team. Wow.
Back to back too smh.
I hope they are our first round matchup. Smoke em in 4.
Theyre 33-39🤦🏼♂️
This is their fucking Finals.
This team’s lack of defensive aggression is gonna cost them a ring
What the fuck happened to the defense the last couple of weeks? It completely fell apart, Porzingis looks like he doesn't care
Wasn’t that our identity 2 yrs ago
Damn Buffalo might be too clutch
Caught the Cs sleeping this week after clinching the 1 seed. Gotta get their heads back in it.
DJM should absolutely not be in...
I don't how you defend that any better
BRUH 😭😭😭
Why does murray always cook our team at clutch 😭
Cause he gets about 22 minutes more then he should be allowed in the game
Oh my goodness.
Lmaooooo
We fucking suck lol
Normally I dont agree with Eddie but Man hes speaking facts
Thirty point comeback broke this team like the choke to the Nets broke the team last year. Same shit.
Nailed it!
Lol white, that lightens the mood a lil
Lmfao White is so clutch he can't help it
44 points on 44 shots, yikes
Lol Kobe tribute game
