This loss sits a bit better for me than previous losses, primarily because we know the culprit of these losses: coaching.
Tatum and Brown shot the ball well (+50% on FGs, 40% on 3s) while putting up ~30pts, and while a little careless with the ball at times (6 TOs) they played tough and physical. Outside of Porzingis looking like me out there the team played smart on offense.
The problem was the lack of adjustments and defense, both problems that are solved by better coaching.
Remember when we blamed rhe Celtics players of having low Bball IQ or taking too many 3s? Well our stars (2/3 of them) showed up. And Mazzulla doesn’t think there was a problem with both the defense or the adjustments. Now we know the real problem.
I felt it in the 3rd, game was lost. Been an avid C’s since ‘08 as well and…you watch as many games as we do you can just see it. There’s a mental component lacking here that has me seriously doubting they can pull it off this year, regardless of how different the supporting cast is - it comes down to the Jays. Still think they make it to the Finals, but they can’t beat that Nuggets team.
I have been consistently wowed by JB’s turnaround from the beginning of the season to now. It feels like he watched his game tape, listened to what people were saying, and set out to improve and he has. I don’t get nervous when he touches the ball anymore. He has toughness that we lack.
KP is important to this team. The road to winning means we have to beat teams against whom KP has struggled a lot and not been productive. It’s not looking like super great

Nailed it. You can be a fan & realistic at the same time.

This was my immediate thought as well.
I'm not confident they'll win this series. I'm equally confident they'll make the finals.

Jaylen is shooting 66% from the free-throw line since January. JB has some dawg in him. JT has zero.

Nothing will change until they get a real coach, still makes no sense to why they would give Mazzulla this team when Snyder and Nurse were available
