“When down by 1 you should keep spamming 3’s” -Joe Mazulla

I want Bill to know, fuck you, fuck Boston and fuck the shrine

Boston are so weird because on the one hand they’re probably the most consistently successful team of the 2020s on the other hand they’ve lowkey choked so many games where they were favored

Basically none of their series losses have been as the underdog over the last few years it’s basically all ones where they were viewed as slight to heavy favorites

Such a shitty brand of basketball

The choke

Good. I’m so tired of this boring ass “3-ball moneyball” style of play.

Let it fail more so teams start to innovate.

Terrorist ball

Typical Mazulla Ball Celtics

When the Guards were driving in the 2nd Q they were scoring almost every possession but I guess let’s chuck 3s

Bill Simmons second ⁹⁄₁₁ in two days

This team is actually cooked.

Live by the three, die by the three

If it’s broke don’t fix it

They never learn

Those are Pistons numbers!

Prime OKC numbers

They just decided to live and die by the three, especially with Tatum out

Remember when Brad Stevens won executive of the year??? Trades for Vuc to save his owner money, costs his team a playoff series. Actually fucking hilarious shit. Blown the fuck out.

Bill Simmons in shambles. They’ve been planning the parade way before Tatum came back

Derrick white threes are tough to watch. Just no attempt to try anything else.

There is no green earth where Derrick White should have 16 three point attempts, love the guy but come on

3 point slop doesn’t work when you’re cold.

Some of those 4th quarter misses were unbelievable. We got extremely lucky to not choke this. Boston bricked like 5 WIDE OPEN looks

Literally why do you need to take over 40 3s if they’re not falling?

we’ll never know but the Simons trade might’ve ended their season. Only guy who could create offense late in that game was Brown.

They need to stop relying on so many threes when the have 2 all NBA wings lmao

Maybe Mazzulla might finally get his shit together and stop this foolishness

¹³⁄₄₉ they all feel like they was Curry? GTFOH 😭

Joe Mazulla overrated.

All they do is chuck threes regardless of the result, kinda glad they’re out 

Live by the 3, die by the 3

They were honestly chucking up a lot of highly contested or deep 3’s. So feels more like terrible shot selection than genuinely being off the mark.

Hopefully this is a lesson

“First time?” - Rockets 2018

MAZULLA IT’S OVER GANG GET PACKED

Make or miss league I guess

Give me floppers and flailers over chuckers any day.

There’s no team with more variance than the Celtics. They look like the 2017 Warriors when the 3s fall, but look like a lottery team when they don’t.

Die by the 3. But Celtics had little other options, due to Tatum being out and all the talent they had to give away this season.

This fact is apparent when only 5 Celtics players scored in the game.

The least embarrassing 3-1 collapse imo AND the 76ers are a really scary team with a playable Embiid.

Taking open swinging and transition threes and them not falling? Sure, it happens, still have to take them.

Derrick White deciding to heat check multiple times despite already going cold? Revolting.

This is so f#cking stupid

THEY BLEW TWO F#CKING SERIES BY SIMPLY SHOOTING 3s…AND JUST DOUBLED DOWN AND SAID:

“ItS HoW wE PlAy…” 🥴🥴🥴

Three bad shooting games lost them the series. Seriously, their stubbornness will close their window to win championships. So stupid.

Basketball gods finally decided to intervene

Literally all they had, bum ass white dudes shooting 3s getting hot. The other game they lost (Game 2), same thing happened. Bricks all night.

The game was honestly pretty close despite the Celtics chucking and missing majority of their 3s. Was definitely a winnable game. It’s just maddening that they continue to chuck 3s when they are clearly having a terrible shooting night. The moment Maxey fall on Embiid’s knee, the Celtics should had attacked Embiid.

Were the Celtics actually the better team here and just got unlucky with shooting variance? Celtics had 11 stocks, 6ers only 1. Celtics had 7 more orebs, 4 fewer turnovers, & 7 fewer FT. 6ers bench scored only 3 points and their starters are not gonna be able to keep playing 40mins a game without being injured.

They wanna be us so bad

This is a big reason why they lost to the Knicks last year. Their offense is too reliant on 3s

I said it from the beginning of this three-mania era of basketball:

If you insist upon living by the three, you’ll die by the missed ones. More often than not.

Forget the “math”—it’s still the hardest shot in basketball. And it gets even harder under pressure.

This game plan or approach whatever you wanna call it sucks big time. Yeah, you can win when the shots fall but only when they fall. You got to have another option to fall back on in order to build rhythm and confidence. This team is lead by a bunch of egotistical head cases and they can’t see how wrong they are. I hope this style of ball ends soon.

No adjustment, as if they could just shoot their way out of it.

not to worry, they’ll regress to average in the preseason

I don’t know why everyone thinks this is bad, I’ve seen much worse

They could have attacked Embiid terrible paint defense but they just didn’t, that’s on Joe

It’s like they are a mirror of the James Harden Rockets.
