The Celtics did not make a field goal in the last 7:03 of the game.
Just a brutal cold stretch. Props to Philadelphia for playing great defense but we’ve seen the Celtics have these uncanny cold stretches from time to time.
Mazzulla ball can fall victim to even worse cold stretches than the infamous 2018 WCF G7 Rockets. Also DWhite’s 3ball struggles doesnt help much
That’s not Mazulla ball that’s more like jumpshot heavy teams, last game the opposite happened they caught fire on it
Tatum/Brown need to be better at driving and getting some points in the paint because they need rim pressure
They are struggling to get paint presence because they are playing multiple guys who are struggling to shoot rn
Getting a good whistle once a series would be helpful too
lol
I do not understand why he’s such a popular coach. Setting up teams that are supremely talented to allow your offense to be subject to shot variance is all time stupid. They had no reason to lose before the ECF last year other than you live by die by mentality shoots themselves in the foot
They were getting locked up bad and just completely lost confidence
If Quentin Grimes looks like prime Kawhi guarding you, you know it’s bad
If Quentin grimes is allowed to play 90s defense then you know it’s bad
Man you really are whining at an extreme level tonight. it’s in your head, calm down.
he just pushed off all of Brown’s push-offs, he played Mirror Force
I saw Boston fans blaming the refs by the way
James Williams undefeated these playoffs
As a Celtics fan I fucking hate that. We lost cuz we sucked, no other reason.
Boston Fan. Calls were annoying in the 2nd quarter, Queta needs to play. Vucevic sucks. We are so thin at the 5.
Still, the main reason why we lost because offense turned to complete shit in the second hal
One team is allowed to play physical the other flops and still gets calls. One team also missed every shot known to man in the second half. Both can be true…
Your team scored 11 4th quarter points and shot like 3⁄20 brochacho just admit they shit the bed
Insane. Tatum missed those two FTs too towards the end. Just one of those nights.
That was the icing on the cake. I think Mazzulla waived the white flag after that lol like fuck it these guys don’t want it tonight
Grimes locked up Brown throughout the final stretch
When Tatum missed 2 free throws I knew it was over, they could not make anything
Brother it was over much earlier than that lol
Detroit and Boston make a fg challenege
On a related note, looks like Knicks might actually make the finals lol
celtics are still the favorites over the knicks
Unbelievable second half performance from the Sixers! Let’s hope the momentum carries over into Game 6!
They missed 14 straight shots from all over the court: 5 threes, some tips, a couple layups, a bunch of midrange shots. Even missed a layup during their final possession when the game was in garbage time.
Dang that’s fast, this website is kinda sick.
I will NOT be viewing any of those clips
Yeah, lots of comments about cold streaks from three, but the C’s missed a bunch of easy ones at the rim too.
The top 2 seeds in the East just can’t buy a bucket in the final minutes of the 4th quarter.
We’re ass 24⁄7, not just for 7 minutes.
They were hot ass ngl
And played like they were expecting a fifth quarter. Minimal effort and urgency. Just going through the motions out there
It’s tiring to win so many games. In some of these series, it does seem like some teams just wanted to walk in what was going to be the clincher. Only OKC seems to have had it easy - or perhaps faced an opponent who had already given up.
Spurs did something similar recently against Portland in the 4th quarter as well, so it’s relatable as to how it can happen.
The refs started calling push offs and they didn’t have anything else to do
The team is pretty hard to watch when their shots aren’t falling man. Tatum missing those 2 free throws let me know it was over.
Always going to have a game like this under muzzula live by the 3 die by the 3
Grimes with that full court press
It’s got to be a playoff record, right? Oh, wait, were the Rocket’s one longer?
what’s the longest 4th quarter scoring drought for a team? prediction: clippers in any of those elimination games 2020 vs nuggets
Derrick White needs to be benched, love him, but this is historically-bad
The Celtics think they’re the Warriors, the only true jump shooting team to make it
It’s crazy how much Celtics managed to mess up this game.
You hate to see it
…he says, fully erect
Yeah hard to win when that happens
They needed to ride Garza. No idea what they were thinking.
Miserable.
Jaylen Brown tunnel-vision master class. I thought he had outgrown that shit this season but it came back with a vengeance tonight.
But holy hell- the whole squad looked like they stopped giving a shit in the 2nd half.
Who plays like that ;
Feel like this happens a lot to the Celtics their offense can just stagnate
Mazulla’s an average coach who just acts weird and people think he is some sort of genius. He won a ring with one of the most stacked teams in the past 5 years.
Some of the adjustments and or lack there of are baffling. Nick Nurse is running circles around him this series.
Saving them for game 6
Boston 2 years ago was unbelievably good its hard to believe the difference between this team and that team. Not saying they wont win the series or even make the finals but these teams arent even close to the same.
So they chocked when it mattered the most
Locked up is a weird way of saying fouling if you actually watched what their hands were doing
