It’s insanely frustrating.

Funnily enough the Sixers also have been pretty bad at home as of late

I’m more confident in them winning game 6 in Philly than game 7 at home

Boston loves ripping the hearts out of the Sixers on Sixers’ home court, it’s just the way it goes

In what world was the bubble their home court lmaooo

On the flip side the Celtics are one of the best road teams in the NBA.

26-19 at home, 25-14 away since 2021. Not a huge difference but still bizarre that they don’t seem to have home court advantage.

I never even thought about it, but you might be onto something. They lost 3 games at home to Miami in 23 and both games to the Knicks last year(might have lost all 3 tbh, can’t remember).

I wonder why.

It’s fucking maddening. The Garden should be one of the best home court advantages in the league. This version of the team seems to give zero fucks about playing at home.

On the other hand, they are also the best team in away games during the same period

The Celtics would have at least one more ring with the Jays if they were better at home, and didn’t needlessly extend series for no reason.

They must prefer the lack of support behind them because I’ve also noticed this for years.

So bizzare

Opposite of the Bird Celtics

Idk why but they have the most boring home court in the league I can’t really explain it

Celtics should just be the 8th seed god dammnit

They live and die on the 3 for the most part. Way it goes. If Brown has a slump at any point in these playoffs, he’s an absolute liability given his shot selection / volume.

What are you trying to prove referencing 2020 playoffs lol, nobody was at home or away

If the Celtics ever entered the Play-In they’d be unstoppable (as long as they were the 9 or 10 seed).

I mean they only had 3 playoff losses in their championship year, 2 at home (both game 2’s and the Celtics proceeded to win 3 straight both times)

So I dont really get the point about the championship year but overall yeah, home and away has mattered less than you would expect.

It’s hard when the best player on the court play for the other team.

Their 3’s stay clanking on those home rims 

Home court disadvantage. Where’s Red Auerbach spirit when you need him?

In 90 percent of the series this tandem wins, it takes an extra game than it should’ve taken on paper. This is a tale as old as time for them. But it has made these Celtics teams resilient, they are used to climbing out of adversity

Lowkey disgraceful and a sin against the basketball gods

They struggle being the favorite. A lot of teams/athletes seem to have this problem these days. Everyone wants to play the ‘nobody gave us a chance’ disrespect card. It’s really just a team choking under the pressure of high expectations. This Celtics team are an extreme example of this and have underachieved over the last decade. I think the only reason they beat Dallas was because the Mavs sort of became a trendy favorite with the talking heads before the finals. They play tight and have zero killer instinct.

It’s obviously the PA announcers fault. They should look into firing him and getting a new one. Send him back to the 1920s

I’m convinced Tatum and Brown legitimately enjoy silencing away crowds more than pleasing their own fans.

Truthfully it’s just the nature of their offense.

The have a well defined gameplan which has a high floor due to the coaching and roster composition.

Them winning or running away with games depends on their 3PT%, which can’t always be relied on.

Trendy title pick struggling to get out of the first round.
