The funny thing is if you want the perfect guy to try and slow down Giannis you already have him, he's just raw and not ready. Robert Williams has the right combo of Size, length, strength, and athletic ability to at least give Giannis some problems. I mean the guy blocked Davis a couple times in a game. He'll struggle with his speed, yet that's the issue with any big. He blew by Brown like nothing last game and then was quick enough to avoid Tatum coming over for the weak side block. Sometimes you just need to enjoy greatness. Like it blows he's killing us, but it's one of the most dominate performances I've seen in 20 years. It's Giannis' league in the Eastern Conference now. I tried explaining that, but "the Celtics beat him last year and blah blah blah." It's going to be real tough for the Celtics to get by this guy the next 5 years. Everyone of the stars are going to want to team up with him eventually too. He's the best player in the league now. There's no real doubt about it. He's almost the same guy as last year, there isn't some massive difference. We just aren't playing good D. As good as he is and he was unreal last year you can beat that team. They don't have the second and third stars. This is more your boy Irving killing us! Plus Stevens playing Hayward over Baynes and Semi. |

Stevens benching Jaylen after 5 minutes because he’s a clueless basketball coach right now.

Stevens playing Hayward has been inexcusible. Also it wasn't fun while it lasted, bye Kyrie.

I can’t get over how bad these rotations are. Bozo Brad is treating this like it’s some throwaway game up in Rochester.

Ya I'm only tuned in on Sox commercials. Looking like a pathetic effort by the Celtics yet again.

20% shooting including 12% threes. Kyrie 2-12. Driving nails into his own coffin?

Kyrie's playoff performances have not been close to advertised. Guy is throwing in the towel tonight and in Boston. Just another city he's going to leave hanging.

Hayward doesn't even look like a NBA basketball player right now.
Stevens trying to wake the Celtics up with a technical foul.

It will be over soon guys. While this season has been ass, it's been a blast as usual to rock this thread with you all. You made it way more bearable than it should have been. This is no longer a game, this is a wcp coronation tour.

Looks like they chose the 2nd Q to crap the bed - a real change from their typical 3Q fold job.
Just looked - 27% shooting midway through 3Q? What the hell - is it great D, or just piss poor shooting (I can't watch it)

I'm sorry but if you wanted to throw around I told you stuff I had to bring up Irving after you pumped him up for the last year. 😂 |

This is a bad day for the Celtics. Less talented team. Plus, I knew the dude is a flake, I've been calling him that since day one. Always thought he could leave at any moment. |

He's proven he can be the second best player in a championship team. Would have been nice to build with him here. |

I think Kyrie needs to do some soul searching. His head is a mess - who/what he thinks he is, and who/what he is, are two different things. We don't need that crap on the Celtics - let someone else handle him.
As to what happens next - this team simply was no fun to watch - the season was a grind. Bad chemistry, bad mix, adding a still injured Hayward and an egomaniac to a team that went so far last year caused more problems than were foreseen.
I do wonder what the impact of this mess on Stevens will be.

You have to sell your soul if your a NBA team to accommodate players like Kyrie in that league because what else can you do to win? |

I'll never be so tuned out with the Celtics if nothing big happens this off-season. I know you'll disagree, but that's honestly how I feel about this. |
