Jrue Holiday said this game is on him. He said he didn’t mean to foul Trae Young at the end of regulation, though.
It’s on him for not taking the wide open layup that would have put us up 5
The foul, the layup, the out of bounds. Plenty of excellent plays.
Wasn’t it JB that didn’t catch the ball and it hit the line? Was that on Jrue or JB?
Yea never saw a replay. I get Jrue not taking the layup in that spot. What happened after is unclear still.
I would rather throw a ball up to waste time then play hot potato into two defenders. Jrue should have held for free throws
That was Tatum
No, Tatum missed the FT. JB was the one who inexplicably dropped the pass from Holiday out of bounds. Lots of bad mistakes down the stretch.
Could’ve sworn Tatum dropped a pass/stepped OB at some point late in the game, maybe I mixed those plays up
He was falling out of bounds when he got fouled.
I remember it as Jrue threw a shit pass to Tatum up 3 and the ball ended up out of bounds. Seemed like Jrue’s fault there though
I was screaming at the TV. Wtf was that.
We all were!!
I’m mad rn but Jrue played 3 perfect series in a row to help us win a championship so I forgive him.
We are now a mentally sloppy team . This breeds like rats. We should have been up 14.
Complacency. I am firm believer in that they can just flip the switch but i would rather they flip it more often😅😅
They don’t have and won’t flip a metaphorical switch. They’re not going to win the championship if they don’t right the ship soon. Teams don’t go on to win a championship after playing mediocre, inconsistent basketball throughout the season.
No but they do after having a top 3 point differential and winning 55+ games like they are currently on track for.
But that’s mediocre because of one stretch of .500 ball! Reddit said so. A veteran team losing steam before the all star break? Who could imagine.
Except for like 3 of the warriors and spurs titles each
Way more parity in the league now.
Yeah it was just a couple bad moments, annoying but that shit is fixable at least.
I don’t think he realised we were only up 2.
Cause he definitely fouled him on purpose.
I honestly thought in the moment they were that fearful of Trae hitting the game winning 3 so they just fouled him for the chance he maybe missed a free throw or they’d get a chance at the last shot
Even if he hits the 3 we have a chance to win on the other end. Fouling just stops the clock and gives them 2 free points
i must be misunderstanding because he clearly grabbed his arm and it looked like it was on purpose. he mustve not known the score to be honest. pulled a JR Smith
Perhaps he thought the Celtics had a foul to give. More likely he thought the Celtics were up by 3 in which case his play was correct. I could see how it could happen. I guess it’s hard to admit to a mental mistake though.
I hate when I accidentally blatantly grab a guys arm at half court
It was on him before that! All he had to do was get a wide open basket to put us up by 5 and game over, instead he made a bad pass and turned the ball over. He was wide open under the basket. The last play was the cherry on top of a turd sunday.
Huh?
Jrue the only stand up guy out there. Joe will probably give some wacky version of, “I love this! It’s good we lost!”
yeah he already did that
I just saw that! Actually laughed out loud.
Joe’s reaction to these losses is getting old.
I don’t know the guy personally but I’m fairly certain Joe genuinely enjoys overcoming adversity. He’s not just up there saying stuff, he’s telling the truth. I understand losses are frustrating but it’s nice to have someone that’s so honest as a head coach.
Hey I’m sure these comments come from Celtic fans. Never blame 1 guy in a team sport. U can point out many plays in a loss and jb didn’t catch a pass, maybe it was a bad pass, maybe somebody wasn’t where the 1st read was surposed to be, but give them hawks credit….!they play defense. They beat the celtics b4 this game. But Derrick white also in a slump and no porzingus. Some teams operate better with everybody
