So is Stevens teaching the right stuff or are they just tuning him out?

I don't get how right when it's time to play their best they play their worst.

Youth isn't that talented. Can't rebound. Can't defend. Too many simple looks.

The Bulls are better. Period. not Stevens fault y'all have chronically overrated the kids.

Well then why didn't the Bulls get the #1 seed? Or any other team?

Fred Hoiberg has an equal number of playoff wins as Brad. 

But seriously 2-10.  It's bad.  Dont' care about the context.

I wonder if some of the players aren't a little ticked off Ainge did nothing at the trade deadline.

I think his reasons are pretty clear, but these guys are putting out right now, and they know what their needs are. Seems like a wasted effort if teams are going to exploit their weaknesses in the playoffs.

Remember how last year AB, Crowder, and KO were injured and we didn't have home court advantage and we had a legitimate excuse as to why we lost the series?

Ughh, I sure hope things turn around. There is no way to justify this so far. Basically, Celtics = SUCK!

THE BULLS HAVE BETTER PLAYERS!!!!!

Can we stop ignoring the obvious.

This literally makes no sense and only undermines every other possibly valid complaint you might make.  it's not like this was some scrappy bunch of guys this year who just outworked other teams.  These Celtics CONSTANTLY gave mediocre to flat out poor efforts.  So if they weren't outworking teams, how could they possibly win at all?

Because they did not play their best during the regular season. They have veterans like Rondo, Wade, and Lopez that all know that there is another gear for the playoffs. Celtics lay it all out there during the regular season when most other teams are coasting. Come playoff time Cs cannot match the intensity and playoff experience of the other teams. Very simple, actually.

Are you talking about the regular season?  I mean, we all know the playoffs are a different animal altogether.

[Chris22]

Rondo and Wade didn't try until the playoffs.

This we have role players as far as the eye can see.

The roster is kind of being exposed right now.

Kinda pathetic but at least they'll win a series.

Look, either Brad Stevens makes them better than the sum of their talent or he doesn't.  Can't have it both ways.

This is almost as misleading as saying a coach is 3-12 in the finals. It is that kind of shallow thinking that penalizes people for success. Have a team overperform in the regular season and certain people will blame you when you get exposed in the playoffs.
