Celtics 2023-24 Season Thread

Post by soxfansince67 on May 11, 2024 21:38:07 GMT -5
White is such a key to this team - huge three, blocked shot, layup. Jaylen is also toughing it out. Jayson is filling the stat sheet but taking too many bad shots.
Mitchell is at 21 shots for 33 points. Brown 24 points on 15 shots. Tatum has 23 shots to make his 29.

Somebody has to take those shots when the shot clock is running out. Its generally been Tatum and Brown this game.
Horford and White haven’t been hitting their shots, and thats the main reason, other than a few bad turnovers this isn’t over yet.

And yet the Celtics lead by 14 as you type this. Don, these are just pointless posts. No one’s excited by second round wins over the Cleveland Cavaliers anymore. This isn’t Evan Turner and Jordan Crawford scrapping it out against superior opponents. We have all been waiting for years to see this team evolve and take a step in their maturation. You missed his point. Basketball is a game of streaks, if the other team goes on a streak and you are still up 14 your are doing something right. You state they could be up 24, well the lead could just as easily be down to 4, so your point is kinda pointless. If you can't enjoy the journey I feel sorry for you.

I actually didn’t post the quoted post. I also didn’t say anything about enjoying journeys or other silly jargon reserved for b-level Disney sports movies.

That blow by on Horford by Garland is what I'm talking about. He wasn't in the zip code after Garland blew by him, easy layup. He is what they got so got to go with him though.

Super impressed with Jaylen and Jrue's games tonight. Huge, important win. They did wear Mitchell down toward the end.

Cleveland is not that bad of a team and the Celtics just got a double digit win pretty much wire to wire on the road in the postseason. Not sure what would get you excited, but it sounds expensive so good luck friend.

Just as I said Basketball is a game of runs and the fact that the game ended up only 1 point different than the very lead he complained about proved beyond any doubt it did in fact not matter and runs in fact do happen. I had Cleveland as a dark horse in the East before the year began, they are a solid team that deserves to be where they are. He had to belittle, 'the enjoy the journey', part to, smh, when you wrong your wrong, owe up and move on. No harm no foul.

If you are so beside yourself that you can’t figure out who is posting what, take a deep breath, and walk away. 2. If the weight of your rage-typing prevents you from spelling correctly or forming coherent sentences, take a walk around the block and try again later. 3. If you begin engendering support from fellow posters as an exercise in logic, let the red drain from your face, and move on. If at any time you begin a rage response without comprehending the post you are responding to, feel free to consult rules 1 through 3 and start again.

It just depends on your level of anxiety that you have after watching this team seeing what has been done in the past. We have seen them blow leads so getting anxious after they lose a big lead is valid to me. Also saying the modern NBA has big runs back and forth and teams lose leads more often than ever is valid too. The result is what matters and they won without it getting close. Just some of us have less tolerance for the variance that goes on with this team and the modern NBA (I'm definitely including myself)

The Celtics lost to Cleveland earlier in the year where they were leading by 22 in the 4th quarter. You can just blame it all on the Celtics downshifting their effort, but Dean Wade still had to hit 6 3s to come away with a victory. You can look at it all from the Celtics point of view or realize there are other forces going on beyond the Celtics effort level. Something to look at some time.

It’s so absurd that they only lose when the other team is mega hot from 3

There have been some questionable calls in some of those blown leads in the regular season and it seemed to usually happen on the road. One of them I remember was against the Pacers where they called a foul on a play the Celtics were about to score then retracted the foul, then they did the same thing on the other end but in reverse and the Pacers won because of it.
I know its not a popular opinion with serious sports fans but it happened again last night even though we won.
The Celtics were getting mauled in that run where they put the game away and there were some pretty bad non calls. They also called a random offensive foul on Tatum at one point I think in the 3rd.

Great win but completely agreed. Cavs kept hooking Tatum on drives uncalled. The one play Jaylen finished through Strus completely mauling him to no call was ludicrous. At the same time they just call less in general in the playoffs. Sometimes Tatum pushes off and doesn't get called either.

I’m not one to partake in such discussions, but the offensive foul called on Tatum where Mitchell was grabbing him and the play where Mitchell egregiously shoved White made me call foul play. NBA must have realized nobody gives a crap about the Cavs during halftime and the fix was cancelled.

I'm not caring about the Celtics game to game performance till the conference finals and won't complain unless they lose this series. Too much trauma, starting to understand the feeling of the Bill's fans lol.
Glass have full, our coach needs some bad losses to learn and adjust. On talent alone, we really shouldn't face a legit challenge till the finals. Knicks/Pacers should be just a tune up for the first legit real test.
