I told my friends earlier today those two are the only reliable players on the roster. They thought I was joking but I'm not

You can trade everyone. They can bring you Rudy Gobert, James Harden and them. We’ll see how happy the Celtics fan will be with those.

It's unclear to me whether Mazzulla would have kept his job if they were swept but it looks like this "comeback" will definitely buy him another year. He's not the only problem but when I saw them jacking up contested three after three with no ball movement at all and then Miami is playing 5 perimeter guys and nobody is attacking the basket and nobody is hunting the smaller/slow footed guards I'm like okay Joe ain't serious.

People will make excuses for Tatum's ankle. I have no idea what's going on there. Maybe it's hurt bad, it looked bad on replay.

You can't dig yourself a 3-0 hole, you have to play perfect basketball after that. That's why even after the miracle of game 6 I said "yes but..." because this is not a well oiled machine. Look at Denver for example, their offense is never that stagnant because Joker will always get someone a shot or exploit a matchup and Denver also has all the pieces now around Joker to make it all work.

It'll be interesting to see what move(s) they want to make here, if any.

Tatum hurting his ankle doesn't excuse a 20 point blow out at home riddled with the IQ of a middle school rec basketball team. This core is finished. Get the stench of losing out of the locker room and blow it up

What does "blow it up" mean. You can complain about the outcome after an Eastern Conference Finals loss but teams are rarely going to completely blow up a team that gets to the ECF/Finals every year. They'd still be a top 1-2 favorite in the East headed into next year.

I agree that some changes probably should be made but what? What is going to get the team over the hump.

What do you propose as an alternative?

Keep Tatum and get the "leaders" off the team. Force him to step up mentally and get guys who are hungry to win in there


Keep them both, eventually they’ll get it, You want to trade them both. Go ahead be the Gm and bring us some players. Who are you trading them for?

I wanna see what your Celtics lineup looks like next year.
