Idc what anyone says this season was a dissapointment. There's no reason this squad shouldn't have at least made the ECF. The path was there for us to go back 2 back and we choked :francis:

Porzingis legs held up, his lungs didn’t unfortunately, we probably won’t get shyt for him but aside from the respiratory illness he was a very serviceable big 29 years old (20/7 on 48/41/80 splits). I wouldn’t be mad if we got rid of Holiday/Hauser get under the 2nd apron and run it back if Tatum has a chance to come back by March 1st.

Of course it was

Crazy that we lost a series where we had a double digit second half lead in 5 of 6 games

Blowing those first two games will haunt us forever.

Oh well tho.

Hopefully Jrue, Porzingis and Hauser have played their last games as Celtics

Ime got severely outcoached by Kerr in 2022 and again in 2025. Y’all offense took another leap with Mazulla. Marcus smart would still be in Boston if Ime was still there
Worst post of the year contender... :skip:



There was no "leap" offensively with Joe...he came in and went to an analytics offense based solely on the math.



The problem with Joe is he always comes back to the numbers...in his mind the averages will work themselves out.



C's need to have a more diverse offense philosophy or Joe should be fired.

Wonders if we'll see more of the Game 5 Celtics or Game 6 Celtics during the season. Since the East will be mediocre at best, the Celts should still win between 45-50 games.

Somewhere in between

East is so ass that the Bulls, Heat and Hawks fail upwards into the play in every year

Even without Tatum it’s still probably a playoff team, but the idea they can still be contenders without him is laughable

It's the NBA, so anything can happen, but I'd be stunned if they found a trade partner for Jrue. He still has three years on a big number.

Maybe Dallas but I don't know how they make the contracts work.

Jrue went from being most underrated to overrated. With that contract it will be hard to find a trade partner

We were staring down a 3-1 hole regardless

With all the expectations this team had, this season goes down as a failure

It's the NBA, so anything can happen, but I'd be stunned if they found a trade partner for Jrue. He still has three years on a monster number.

Maybe Dallas but I don't know how they make the contracts work.

I played around with Dallas in the trade machine a few days ago

It would have to be Jrue with Dallas sending out Gafford, PJ and one of their end of the bench players. Can’t see them giving up PJ & Gafford for just Jrue unless a 3rd team gets involved. Or Gafford & Klay but idk if the Celtics would want Klay

I saw someone in another thread float out sending Jrue back to NO for McCollum since he’s an expiring

I think Porzingis might actually have more value since he’ll be an expiring next season

Marcus Smart being in Boston was the reason why Celtics didn't win a title in the first place. Ironically the Warriors 2022 played the Celtics very well because all they did was play off of Smart to guard the Jays

Please stop commenting off of ignorance
That’s my point you idiot. Smart was a weak link
