This is one of the worst coaching jobs in a playoff series I have ever seen.

No excuse. Toronto and Indiana both got swept, but seemed to put up a decent fight compared to this.

That game we won looked like a purpose gift after all the commotion about the NBA being weak (which it is)

Brad has literally no answer defensively and has not adjusted at all.

No reason should the Celtics get roasted at home like this 3 times in one series.

But Brad S is a prodigy and literally the best coach in the NBA! After Pop, that is...

you are unhinged again. What is a purpose gift, and how did it score 7 threes for Smart?

Can we consolidate these "our defense sucks" threads?

Pop would never get blown out in a Conference Finals, even if missing his best player.

 Brad's coaching this series has made me start drinking again ::
Is that a good thing or bad thing?

He's in new territory! Give him time!  And he'll learn from it  all.

When the wind is out, and the ship is flying the captain is great,
when there are tough seas or there is no wind, its the captains fault.
Neither are true.  Ride out the storm.  Appreciate the journey!

Injuries screwed the rotation. With KO on the starting lineup, bench have no player who can shoot as efficient as he is.

they have three top 10 players .

we have none and the best player we got is out and another five are play n hurt .

There is nothing to be done.   complaining is gonna help at this point.

we are out of soldiers ......to put the third stringers in against Lebron , Love and Lrving is like putting them into the firing squad.


Brad has nothing to throw against them .....if you want to blame somebody ...see Danny
its going to be a unwatchable game we all knew it.

I was disappointed in how the team came out in the first two games, but Isaiah was significantly injured and then missed the last 2.5 games of the series.

The Cavs had the best player in the series by far and were much healthier.  They're also a significantly better team overall even when both are at full strength.

The Celts are another player or two away from competing with the Cavs, but it was a good season.

Also, I'm pretty confident the Cavs are about to have their lack of defense exposed in the Finals.  So there's that.
You’ll have to excuse my lengthiness—the reason I dread writing letters is because I am so apt to get to slinging wisdom & forget to let up. Thus much precious time is lost.

I love this Celtics team and have thoroughly enjoyed this season, but does anybody actually think we are one of the top 3 teams in the NBA in terms of talent (especially without IT)? This has been a very successful season and we have Stevens to thank.

3 times in one series ?

How about every home game in every series this year. What is with this team ?

Yes, because having our best player worked so much better :P
