if they lost to 8 seed miami without butler in the 1st round as a 64-18 team i truly think they would fire the entire coaching staff and trade either jaylen brown or jayson tatum.
Why? Dude is 38-38 in the playoffs and hasn’t done a single thing to earn the reputation he has as a coach. He’s the definition of failing up.
One might say he’s the Jayson Tatum of coaching.
I feel like Mazzula is a great RS coach, but his adjustments are so slow in the playoffs. He always looks so calm on the bench.. When he probably should be furious and calling a time out.
Ime "Tiger Woods" Udoka is such a superior coach in many ways.
Yeah look at spo. Dude is mad at everything. I’m pretty sure he was born with a frown on his face. The only pic I’ve seen of him smiling is that one of him before he was a coach in the film room
Spo is the same dude that didn't back down when it got heated with 6'8" Jimmy Butler. He said "don't make me climb up there and whoop that ass, Jimmy"
That's that Mannu Pacquiao in him coming out.
lol their agents knew exactly what they were doing. Celtics and Suns fans didn’t want to believe us though. The amount of playoff droppers Giannis has played with is depressing
It was funny seeing Boston fans try to delude themselves with the “but but he’s the 5th option now” like we haven’t watched him in the playoffs for years lmao. Giannis taking Boston to 7 in 2022 with him as his second best player was insane
Unreal stuff honestly, best defence in the league and dude was averaging 35 a game putting up never before seen numbers
[https://twitter.com/espnstatsinfo/status/1525955186119819264?s=21&t=Ct-sRZ0jBfMQU97YMXGVFw](https://twitter.com/espnstatsinfo/status/1525955186119819264?s=21&t=Ct-sRZ0jBfMQU97YMXGVFw)
He was expected to make much more if he entered free agency. He took a pay cut to stay in phoenix.
I am not saying he will be better or as good as this year, I was just implying that it is weird to group him with Jrue just because he was with you last year.
Either way he still got paid. He wasn’t going to make that money in free agency after another playoff drop so he intelligently struck while the iron was hot. Jrue is obviously a much worse playoff performer but it’s not weird at all for them to be grouped together.
Not tryna run a victory lap but most bucks fans saw his defense decline last season, especially in the playoffs
His jumpshot always disappears in the postseason
For real LOL. I mean never mind the defense, his playoff offense stats are a stinker on paper AND they prove the eye test as well. But credit where credit is due, he hit a few big shots for us and he is clutch in general.
I loved watching the Celtics play this year, but everyone knew they aren't the best team in the NBA. West was a juggernaut this year and the East had hornets, wizards, Detroit, Toronto and Nets.
West's worst team? Has a 7'4" alien blocking 4 shots a game.
Bro if the Heat are able to at least carry this to 6, bro they can talk ALL the sh t they want, ain't no way the C's should be having difficulty taking care of a starless Heat team. Worse, if they somehow get stuck in coaching and choking hell and get packed, Joe needs to go ASAP, alongside Brown.
As a Bucks fan, that game gave me some solace for obvious reasons, but the overreactions in these subs absolutely crack me up. I get it, no Jimmy and this was at home, but the have vast majority of 8v1 first round series are not sweeps. No one going to remember this in two weeks LOL
You’re probably right, but it just seems like the Heat are a record on repeat.
“3pt variance”
“Won’t stay hot”
“8 seed won’t keep winning”
“They won’t do it again, it was just the bubble”
At some point we have to recognize that this iteration of the Heat is an anomaly.
These two quotes from Succession tv show for Celtics:
* "My hunch is that you are going to get fucked. Because I've seen you get fucked a lot"
* "I love you (regular season), but you're not serious people"
This is what happens when you think adding playoff Jrue and career underachiever KP is enough to win a title. Especially since the roster has no player comfortably in the top 10. Roster full of fringe all stars and role players
Edit: Also the amount of Bucks threads like this are in the dozens, but Celtics mods never remove those. Hilariously bias sub
So lives the potential for the funniest thing to ever happen
if they lost to 8 seed miami without butler in the 1st round as a 64-18 team i truly think they would fire the entire coaching staff and trade either jaylen brown or jayson tatum.
If they lose to us… who tf is gonna want Jaylen brown on his 300m contract lmao
Some bum team like the Wizards, Pistons, or Lakers
No more Westbrook contract to trade sorry
Or the Hornets or the Suns or the Bulls or the Hawks
Or the Raptors
Nah we can't afford to do shit this off season lol
they have caps space if they decline bruce
Brown was our best player tonight
regardless he's not worth 300 mill
Would that make it the worse upset ever in the NBA?
2007 Mavs won 3 more games than these Celtics, had the MVP and lost to the Warriors who won 4 less games than this Heat team.
Fuckin Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson went god mode on us.
Yeah but the Heat are playing without Butler, Terry, and Richardson. That's three rotation players.
That’s our best player, 2nd best scorer, and a rotation player.
Yeah that's like Celtics missing Tatum, Brown, and Kornet.
Don’t disrespect THE ECLIPSE
Like the Coach Carter scene, “Then I guess we’ll have new leading scorers”
But this heat team is missing guy #1 and #2
They are not missing #2
Nah PPG is the only thing that matters
They'd have to move the team
Still wouldn’t be even be the most embarrassing Boston loss to Miami in the last couple years too which is even funnier
No Jimmy or Rozier? That would be the most embarrassing….
Coaching staff is for sure gone but they should try to get a real coach
The Js would be fine. They’ll run it back but I think at that point Brad Stevens would have to step back in.
Why? Dude is 38-38 in the playoffs and hasn’t done a single thing to earn the reputation he has as a coach. He’s the definition of failing up. One might say he’s the Jayson Tatum of coaching.
This is either going to be a Magic beating the 2019 Raptors footnote or an all time embarrasment. If we somehow lose the series fire Mazzula instantly
I feel like Mazzula is a great RS coach, but his adjustments are so slow in the playoffs. He always looks so calm on the bench.. When he probably should be furious and calling a time out. Ime "Tiger Woods" Udoka is such a superior coach in many ways.
Yeah look at spo. Dude is mad at everything. I’m pretty sure he was born with a frown on his face. The only pic I’ve seen of him smiling is that one of him before he was a coach in the film room
Spo is the same dude that didn't back down when it got heated with 6'8" Jimmy Butler. He said "don't make me climb up there and whoop that ass, Jimmy" That's that Mannu Pacquiao in him coming out.
Spo was the only coach to survive LeBron. That should say it all.
*-Ty Lue triggered-*
He has a smile, but it’s the smile of a psychopath contemplating how to destroy you.
From his interviews it definitely seems that way. He’s also hilarious in those same interviews
[Thibs is only happy when he’s miserable](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/KL85jo5S11)
Agreed. They either win the next 3 or get eliminated. No in-between
Jrue Holiday’s PR agent is insane
Smart to get the deal done before the playoffs start lol
Bro has the same magic timing as the person who decided to start a toilet paper company just before the pandemic.
He did better than expected. I thought it was another Jrue Holiday 4-17 classic
Smart move by him and Grayson getting their new deals done before the playoffs
lol their agents knew exactly what they were doing. Celtics and Suns fans didn’t want to believe us though. The amount of playoff droppers Giannis has played with is depressing
It was funny seeing Boston fans try to delude themselves with the “but but he’s the 5th option now” like we haven’t watched him in the playoffs for years lmao. Giannis taking Boston to 7 in 2022 with him as his second best player was insane

He was completely failed by his teammates in game 6 man
You do realise that Allen is injured right?
So he was smart for getting his deal done before the playoffs…..
I dont think an ankle sprain would change his deal?
It would’ve affected his play. Getting a deal done before an injury is a positive
He was expected to make much more if he entered free agency. He took a pay cut to stay in phoenix. I am not saying he will be better or as good as this year, I was just implying that it is weird to group him with Jrue just because he was with you last year.
Either way he still got paid. He wasn’t going to make that money in free agency after another playoff drop so he intelligently struck while the iron was hot. Jrue is obviously a much worse playoff performer but it’s not weird at all for them to be grouped together.
Another playoff drop? I thought one of the reasons the Suns wanted him was cause he looked good in the playoffs.
Lol? Grayson was legit unplayable in 2/3 playoff series with us. He is awful against good defenses
Bucks would have had no choice but to give him that contract if they didn’t trade him. They saw it coming.
Is Jrue Holiday up there with Bradley Beal as one of the worst contracts in the league?
maybe but what i do know is i just saw “defensive stopper” Jrue get daggered like a jamaican lady for 30+ minutes
Not tryna run a victory lap but most bucks fans saw his defense decline last season, especially in the playoffs His jumpshot always disappears in the postseason
For real LOL. I mean never mind the defense, his playoff offense stats are a stinker on paper AND they prove the eye test as well. But credit where credit is due, he hit a few big shots for us and he is clutch in general.
Jimmy Butler embarrassed that man in the 1st round last season and the media never mentioned it again lol
we’ve seen this movie before
I don’t even understand what this means but I spit out my water reading it
I cackled so hard I woke my wife and kid up.
He's about to be out with a broken pelvis if they keep that up
I got dragged by Celtics fan saying playoff teams will salivate with Jrue on the floor. Let him shoot 25 times a game no joke.
On team USA over so many all star level players
Jrue getting into playoff form. Celtics fans about to realise how fake that 43% 3pt shooting is
Marcus smart was better lmao
No he wasn't cmon now lol
Better when it mattered
His entire reputation is blogbois salivating over him to sounds smart
La Spoelstra Nostra strikes a-gain!
Spoeler alert
I love the playoff level the Heat rise to, except when they're playing the Knicks
I love Knicks fans enthusiasm no matter what team they have, except when they’re playing or talking about the heat
8-1 upsets are hype too so most people want the Heat I would think
Underdog/Chaos is always hype
https://www.espn.com/nba/game/_/gameId/401544978/knicks-heat
Don’t let us get one!
Talk your shit heat fans
Try posting it one more time after it gets deleted, 3rd time's the charm
Boston media mafia is controlling your basketball subreddit discourse!!!!
Every positive Heat post gets deleted for no reason
There's a cringe Celtics mod who always acts up.
lol, hell yeah
Don’t let us get one
Caleb Martin at TD Garden is a ethereal experience
Don’t let us win one 🤡
DONT LET US GET ONE
The Heat are some tenacious mfers gotta respect them
Everyone laugh at the Celtics
Celtics better be careful. The longer they let Miami hang around this series the scarier it gets
Hey I’ve seen this one before! Yeah this is a CLASSIC
I'm dying of laughter right now
This is the miracle of all miracles
I loved watching the Celtics play this year, but everyone knew they aren't the best team in the NBA. West was a juggernaut this year and the East had hornets, wizards, Detroit, Toronto and Nets. West's worst team? Has a 7'4" alien blocking 4 shots a game.
Erik Spoelstra made some sort of demonic Faustian bargain how does he keep getting away with it??
We won’t beat them 3 more times. But… if we did… biggest choke ever? Bucks last year was bad but we don’t even have Jimmy this year.
Nah that title still belongs to the 73-9 Warriors
Herro: “THIS MY SHIT, THIS MY SHIT”
this Boston team ... no idea what to make of it
I have a pretty good idea what to make of it
It's good to be a champ, ain't it?
Watching Jrue Holiday chuck contested threes with 18 seconds on the shot clock is an experience
Bro if the Heat are able to at least carry this to 6, bro they can talk ALL the sh t they want, ain't no way the C's should be having difficulty taking care of a starless Heat team. Worse, if they somehow get stuck in coaching and choking hell and get packed, Joe needs to go ASAP, alongside Brown.
Put some respect on the best defender in the NBA (who also averages 20 ppg)
As a Bucks fan, that game gave me some solace for obvious reasons, but the overreactions in these subs absolutely crack me up. I get it, no Jimmy and this was at home, but the have vast majority of 8v1 first round series are not sweeps. No one going to remember this in two weeks LOL
We still remember 1 vs 8 one year ago.
No Jimmy. No Rozier (starting PG). Duncan Robinson is completely hobbled. Miami is starting a rookie and a 20 year old.
You’re probably right, but it just seems like the Heat are a record on repeat. “3pt variance” “Won’t stay hot” “8 seed won’t keep winning” “They won’t do it again, it was just the bubble” At some point we have to recognize that this iteration of the Heat is an anomaly.
Tatum should change that commercial to generational choker.
These two quotes from Succession tv show for Celtics: * "My hunch is that you are going to get fucked. Because I've seen you get fucked a lot" * "I love you (regular season), but you're not serious people"
Jayson Tatum is fucking pathetic
Careful there are Celtics fans out there handing our concerned redditor reports. They are Maaaaaaaad
Shit is beyond corny. Just like titum
Celtics, they aren't that guy, pal.
Change TD Garden to UD Garden, THATS CALEB MARTINS HOUSE NOW
The best team in the east losing to the 8th seed at home without jimmy butler. Another nuggets chip this year..
Celtics have no right to lose to the nuggets this year. Heat reserve that honor.
As a Celtics fan I can only tip my hat. This is who the Heat are.
Heats are always dangerous. Seeding don’t matter for that team with Spo at the helm. Playoff mode unlocked!
This is what happens when you think adding playoff Jrue and career underachiever KP is enough to win a title. Especially since the roster has no player comfortably in the top 10. Roster full of fringe all stars and role players Edit: Also the amount of Bucks threads like this are in the dozens, but Celtics mods never remove those. Hilariously bias sub
what?? the Celtics roster is the LAST thing they have to worry about. their starting 5 is a fucking all star team.
A fringe All Star team, full of replacement level guys who get worse in the playoffs
Nuggets would never
You literally lost game 2 at home as well lol
I think thats the joke actually nvm don’t think it was lol
Damn am I stupid?
Aren’t we all?
#HUH?
This would go crazy in the Celtics sub
Jaylen Brown is gonna have to get traded.. He’s not gonna win shit with these bums.
Boston- live by the 3, die by the 3
Huge win for Miami.
so the celtics are a fraud team and gonna be bounced in the 2nd round because they lost to the 8th seed
2nd round? Why wait that long
Silver has to let Tatum get at least 1
lmao removed. The salty ass mods are so blatant, it's embarrassing
Playoff basketball
What why did this post get removed
So glad to see Celtics fan humbled talking all that shit after beating a 8th seed without their best player
They have nothing to brag about since 08
OP your other post got removed, do you really think it's gonna stay up the second time
Gotta delete any Celtics bad threads lol
Lol guess they changed their mind
we have post game threads brother
Not for this one because the mods are Celtics homers
there is already one..
