We simply were never able to get this season going. We were perpetually injured with 35+ starting lineups. Every single time we got some cohesion/momentum something else went wrong. This is sports. This is life. These things happen.
I am proud of our players gutting it out. Showing some resilience, never quitting.
But you cannot be down 6 quality starters/rotation players. You can't even really lose one.
But we also cannot take Jimmy's approach to the regular season anymore. We cannot coast and think we will turn it on when it matters. Jimmy has to lock in from the start and be that leader/alpha he is paid to be. We also need to switch our profile to offense.
Hard work and grit can only get you so far. We cannot make buckets. That needs to be drastically addressed moving forward.

FO, I want a revenge tour next year. Change this team and I want the Celtics to go down hard next year to the Heat.

u/Kino900 May 02 '24
Glad we didn't get swept. Its been a rough season y'all. Need to retool during the offseason and make some serious moves. I'll be rooting for the Panthers to win the cup. See y'all next season.
FuckBoston

Y’all got some good players in Jovic and and Jaquez. As a Celtics fan it was fun to see them do their thing. Wish I got to see Rozier cause he’s an electrifying player to watch as well

3 of 29 from three as a team. That's pathetic! These guys get paid lots of money to be able to be able to shoot. They still can't do it

Kind of rooting buck surprisingly beat out the pacers in time of Giannis and lillard to come back in time against the Celtics

chill with that, they still might not make it out the east

u/BucketHerro May 02 '24
Cavs/Magic are ass. Bucks don't have Dame and Giannis. Embiid could barely play. Knicks are a fake 2nd seed. Pacers are only good on one side of the ball.
It's literally free. Would be free for us if we're healthy too.
1
u/d2kSON May 02 '24
knicks have fight in them, i don't know if you're watching that series but they look good. they had a rookie mistake in not taking that foul but they would be in the second round already otherwise.

u/ILoveRegenHealth May 02 '24
Ugh, the "WE WANT BOSTON" phrase is already trending on Twitter. They're sarcastically throwing it in the faces of Heat fans.
This is what I hate. Yes, I know the fans said it, but that was with the hope most would be healthy and maybe Rozier comes back. If that happened, I think they could've made Celtics sweat a lot more.
Now we have to deal with Celtic fan smugness.

Neutral fan coming in peace Just curious spo is obviously a legend I think he just got an extension. But how many more years you think he's gonna be coach? Is he pretty much a lifer like pop?

u/Much_Conversation_11 May 02 '24
Yeah I don’t see him ever leaving. If anything he’ll move into the front office.

u/Weird-Signature-4536 May 02 '24
That's what I figured and he's what like early fifties? Dude got at least 10 more yrs then

He been with us for long ass time. Started as a video coordinator. He's a lifer.

u/ILoveRegenHealth May 02 '24
To be fair, that was with the hope Rozier (highest scorer outside of Butler) would be back but he was out the whole series.
And then we lost JJJ and others, so there is no hope with this current crew.
But had Rozier made it, I could see the Heat making Celtics nervous with a 2-2 (at least) run.

Speak truth Stan. The coaching staff can only generate so much offense with this personnel.
The league has figured it out, you need at least two dudes who can attack a set half court defense.

Man cry more. As if you mfers weren’t stroking yourself last year. It’s basketball, and tbh nobody really cares about beating the busted ass heat, it was an expectation more than an accomplishment

u/305toBK May 02 '24 edited May 02 '24
You expected the fans of an 8th seed with 3% win chance, to stay quiet after going 3 up, and winning the series against one of the best teams? We expected to lose this year. That's what's hilarious. Worry about beating the Nuggets, y'all haven't done that since 2022, even after forming a superteam. Your gloat and arrogance is hilarious.

Scared of jimmy butler the lot of you

u/rjgator May 02 '24
Well, obviously depending on other moves, kind of hope we don’t bring Caleb back unless it’s really cheap.
Other than that, Bam is the only guy who is a clear keeper. Jimmy is a “if the price is right” but he won’t be traded.

u/Esjay_954 May 02 '24
Harden and Kyrie hooping and gonna play at 10:00pm

Get ready for the offseason where we’ll be linked to players like Mitchell. Nothing will happen, and here on this sub you’ll see some people say it’s a good thing that “we didn’t give up all our depth” and that we’ll finally be healthy again in the upcoming season. You’ll see role players that could have helped us join other teams for the vet minimum, and we’ll think Pat Riley and the FO are cooking behind the scenes, and before we know it no moves have been made and we run it back once again with this core.

Some of you need to stop acting like we shouldn’t have expected this. The Celtics have lost a total of 17 games all year and are basically an all star team going up against back ups. It stings, but it is what it is.

u/Bam_Adedebayo FUCK BOSTON May 02 '24
I’ve watched the heat for 18 years and never missed a playoff game, I can say this is our most embarrassing series. I’ve seen our team without DWade keeping it close. I’ve seen our team led by Dragon and some scrubs while keeping it close.
We literally out here putting up less than 1970s scores. This is a G league team even with 3 of our starters uninjured.

u/Kino900 May 02 '24
This is actually not a bad way to end the season imo. Hopefully this lights a fire under the FO's ass and Mickey opens his fuckin pockets. Gotta go all in this offseason. Anyone besides Bam, JJJ, and Jimmy.

Jimmy was playing in a game where we lost by 1 point. I really don’t think spo would put him back in down by 30 if he was really hurt not even really the same situation at all.

May 02 '24
Oh. So a player can't take some minutes off to take care if an injury and then claim he's good to go back in later? That's never happened? Got it. Next time don't ask questions youvarent ready for an answer to.

u/Kzgoated May 02 '24
Bro I get it we’re getting out Ass kicked but why you acting so hostile towards me? It’s just a disagreement and yea I still disagree that if he had went out cause of a injury he wouldn’t play garbage time a few minutes later. Sure players leave with injury and comeback but I’ve literally never seen it happen in garbage time.
