Mailing in an easy game against a shit team when they're locked in a tight race. I'm a Brad apologist, but even I have to wonder if Bill would ever let shit like this fly. He'd probably storm the field and murder Jayson Tatum. |

Unwatchable.
The older I get, the more sour I get about some of these guys making 8 figures, and being able to 100% mail it in 10-20 games a year. Not for lack of talent, or time spent in the gym on off days, etc. But on game day, not figuring out how to show up even when you don't have "it". I always thought that was what was amazing about athletes from the last generation. They might not have "it" that night, but you bet your a$$ they were going to give you a show that night anyway. No mailing it in...

I just truly don't understand this team
One day I think we will go to the finals, another day, a play-in elimination
Timelord is incredibly important to this team. Also, Tatum will take this team as far as he wants.
Perspective: Joel Embiid's first NBA season was at 22 years old. This season Tatum has been 22 for most of it, already tied Birds record and led the Celtics to 3 ECF.

That’s one of the big problems, Rob Williams is hugely important and hugely unreliable.

So we're back to picking on Robert Williams because the coach is sitting anyone with a hang nail. Brown has now missed 5 out of the past 11 games. He's sat Tatum, Brown, Williams and Walker recently. Steven's said he'd do this, guys 100% over winning games and seeding.
If you don't like so many guys sitting blame the coach, not the players. Players play not at 100% all season long. I get health, if it was major issues, yet this is getting crazy. Chemistry matters, entering the playoffs with momentum matters and seeding matters. Not playing a play in tournament matters. He's on the verge of having a healthy team that misses the playoffs.

I’m not saying he’s being cautious or that he may not be being overly cautious but guys are playing with sorenesses etc. |

Robert Williams own words, what our Coach said himself, the crazy amount of games everyone has been missing since he said this is what we are going to do.
"I wouldn't be out there if I didn't feel 100%"
If you want to agree and say that’s the right thing, that's one thing. Blaming the players versus the coach is kinda crazy.

Yeah I’ve just come to the conclusion they don’t care about the regular season, so I won’t either. I’ll emotionally invest myself when they’re in the play-in or playoffs

I don’t know, if that’s an actual Robert Williams quote then it sounds like either he won’t play if he’s not 100% or they won’t play him if he’s not 100%, but the fact of the matter is we we’ve seen Tatum play on a sore ankle, Jaylen play with a sore knee and Kemba play at less than 100% so it’s hard for me to get behind the narrative that Brad will only play guys if they are 100%. |

After following pretty much all of the games this year, my view on the root cause of their inconsistency is Stevens. I think he has, for the most part, lost this team - they win when they find it within themselves to do what it takes - but it never lasts for long. I have no doubt he is a fine coach - just not for this particular set of players.

Guys, let's use Occam's razor here - simplest explanation is usually the right one.
They're in 7th because of injuries and covid and being one of the hardest hit teams by both of those things. We've literally been hit hardest by COVID in the entire league. Plus late bubble run exhaustion. The Heat and Lakers are in similar situations. Let's have some empathy for what has been a super hard season for these human beings.

No clearly you want to take a difficult messed up season and use that as a tell all and get rid of the coach, fire the GM and trade away one of your 2 24 and under All-Stars to “change the mix”. Nothing else makes sense. In case the sarcasm wasn’t evident... i was being sarcastic. |

"There is no crying in baseball" And there is no sympathy for Boston athletes or coaches, perform or get ridiculed and run out of town. Human beings you say.... I think not.... they are expected to play and play at a high level or be gone. I mean they get paid a ton of money to play a game right? LOL, amused rather than aggravated. |

I used to be one of those people who was constantly bashing, saying fire Brad and Danny etc. Had to take a step back and reflect a little bit... Honestly whatever happens this season I love to see Kemba looking healthier, Timelord huge leap, and Nesmith/Pritchard looking like legitimate rotation contributors, anything else is a bonus. Of course would still like to see a deep playoff run - let's see what happens. |

It's an actual quote from his first game back, that's what a young player is being told. All those players have missed a game or two recently, so I don't know what you're trying to prove with that. It all started when Steven's said that's what he's going to do. Being 100% healthy was more important than winning games and seeding. That was actually said by our coach. |

They’ll care soon hopefully I will say though the lakers are basically in the same spot as us......weird year I can't do it, this isn't the Patriots last year. At a certain point it was obvious you weren't doing much of anything. I'm not feeling good about the Celtics, yet they still have more than enough talent to actually win a damn title this year. I'm not saying it's likely, yet there top 7/8 players is true title contender worthy. They have numerous guys that can take over games. So I can't do it, I can't stop caring. |

Such a pathetic team.
The Celtics need to overhaul some things this offseason - players, coaching staff, and front office all need to rethink their approach, because effort is clearly not required right now.

Brad putting Carsen Edwards in this game is as braindead of a decision as I can remember a head coach making. 3 guard lineup with Pritchard, Edwards, and Kemba???!
That dunk from Nesmith was incredible, glad to see someone is still trying out there.
I still don't get calling this team pathetic. Heat are good and healthier than us right now. It's almost like we're missing our starting center and one of our all star wings against a playoff team. That said, I do think we could do with some changes in the front office and coaching staff (not to mention end of bench personnel - jettison Semi, Carsen, Tremont, Parker, maybe even Grant Williams for more serviceable NBA players).
