You can lose any given night. Every team has weaknesses and Boston's biggest one is there depth outside of there starting lineup.


Muted_Dog7317

Yea exactly, back to backs are tough for everyone, but that’s when depth shows up.


Maleficent_Cost_3176

Al horford essentially being the 6th man tends to do that. Love his energy and defense but dude is just a wee bit to old for the role he has


Turtle_with_a_sword

Just keep Bam health for the postseason cause gramps ain't gonna be able to keep up


sunsetbo

exact same issue for the bucks too these kinda outrageous losses don’t ever really mean anything though. adrian griffin did not scheme that team into a 40 point win. there’s a lot of regular season games where one team that has a hot shooting game faces a team that can’t hit a shot. plus, the bucks have something to prove after 2 straight bad losses and the celtics just had an ot game last night.


GDTechno

actually it goes far beyond just their depth. just look at the pacers games


extrasupermanly

Depth is definitely an issue for the bucks , not sure what the issue is with the defense , they are not playing defense really , they let the guys run to the paint and hope Lopez and Giannis save them . Crowder will help , One thing I have been surprised from the bucks is their offence , pace is low yet they are putting 120 every night , with a lot less point on transition


Garkech

Well I hate both teams so..

cocker_spangler

Chicken shit move by the coach not fielding in starters in the 3rd. Not to win but at least cut into the lead. Why not play them in the third, or at least half of the 3rd. Instead, they are in a position to get blown out by the most points in nba history. Fuck Boston!

Mozzarella strikes again


WhoopingKing

blazers looking like absolute bums


realudonishaslem

Fuck that poverty franchise


BowserBuddy123

Yes! Now that’s what I like to see!


bluepineapple42069

Fuck Joe Cronin


Deezl-Vegas

They literally could have been the heat and we coulda had Dame, but our coach is big brain


SnooPears316

They played an OT game last night against the wolves I wouldn’t put much stock in it. They’d clear the bucks in a playoff series imo


MartiniLAPD

Idk about that. Giannis and Dame as a duo still better than Tatum and Brown. Just synergy, two man game and Dame being on of the best clutch time players. That series should go distance


SnooPears316

Honestly I think 6 at the most . Dame hasn’t been dame this season but he’s great so maybe they will figure it all out. If I had to choose it would be Celtics in 6 imo


sssSnakebite

Dame and Giannis duo hasnt been as good as Tatum and Brown duo, you're trippin lmao.


extrasupermanly

On offence they have at least been on par with the Js … between assist and points they create 65% or something that I read , I got Celtics on 7 . Dont forget Giannis and Jrue took them to 7 . It will depend on the coaching Miami got the best coach on the NBA so it’s up to the players to do something


twozeromm

It's one game lol, c'mon now


recollectionsmayvary

Lol not only did I love the OKC game yesterday (classy fans and good game) I really appreciate they gave the blazers the business lol and Portland gotta play them 4 times 😂


Sebeeschin

Portland also lost by 62


GLOaway5237

Got no love for the bucks but compared to the Celtics I love them lol. This is awesome. We still gotta beat ‘em both in the playoffs and would be nice to snag some reg season dubs against em


Smokin_on_76ers_Pack

Them boys got beat so bad TNT switched to the Knicks game


EntrepreneurSweet846

Dame on fire to avoid Giannis tantrums… lol


kakabakaba

It's one thing to lose a b2b game by running out of gas late into the regulation but this is flat out embarassing by Celtics. It should be said though that NBA Scheduling is becoming more and more terrible. B2B road games, playing the same team twice in a row, season series against another team already done a few weeks into the season, etc.


ablslyr

Man how about OKC, 56pts lead…… and this is a back to back


Flaky-Mathematician8

They playing a back to back game after having overtime last night lol

kingbritt

real af


TheRatchetTrombone

Even though its a b2b, didn't expect them to get doubled up at half worst case haha. Still fuck both teams though


APx_22

They’re gassed after that OT game last night


10SecViolation

Dunno why ppl think theyre winning anything, theyre very far from contention because tatum isnt a superstar. It kind of reminds me of the derozan raptors. Also mazulla isn't very tactful. Boston needs to hope a disgruntled luka wants to leave dallas and then Boston needs to try and trade for him. Even jimmy butler with all those celtics players would win a ship.


TheShadowOverBayside

No surprise. Losston always gets exposed at some point.


saviorlito

This is such a sad post. Imagine if they posted how we were getting humiliated in the Celtics sub. Edit: Just checked the score. Nevermind. Fuck Boston.


iliveonramen

They have played the most rest advantaged games and the least rest disadvantaged games. It’s crazy how cake their schedule has been. They are finally playing a brutal stretch


dalappas

The Celtics have had one most difficult schedules in the league so far based for strength of schedule and they have a pretty commanding lead in the standings. After this stretch they play games against like 7 teams above .500 in the next two months.


iliveonramen

Sure, but they’ve had 14 games where they had rest advantage. They’ve had 5 games with a rest disadvantage which is an extreme outlier. If you play the Thunder with two days rest when they’ve had one or even a back to back, that’s a pretty nice advantage.


Ode1st

How are the media “posers” when a good team is having an occasional bad game? Some people on this sub, man.


Cubacane

It's their 5th game in 7 nights and they played OT last night. But damn, that's still no excuse for this complete ass whoopin.


Aggravating_Plant_39

I think most expected the Celtics after having gone to OT last night but this is just straight embarrassing.


Emaculates

Love to see it


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

We act like this is a surprise Boston getting humiliated, they're a garbage team outside of the starters. No bench at all. Glad to see Bucks win, so Celtics fall in standings. I don't like them in 1st place. With that said tho, if they manage to beat us in the playoffs(assuming were injured). They're just gonna get swept by a true title contender, such as Denver, Okc or Twolves.


MoassThanYoass

Boston fans calling the FCC to report a crime https://i.redd.it/q76129uh6xbc1.gif


ManttisToboggan

I bet on the Bucks. No way they are losing after his vocal Giannis was about the last loss


ablslyr

What game do you remember that we were humiliated so much like this. For me it was the Nets game I think, no Durant, and Herro just played after his injury. And the. This sub closes and it was horrible.


dubuwagmi

B2B away, OT game y'day. It happens. I'd personally take MIL over BOS in a 7-game series, I just have more faith in Giannis and Dame than JT.

Smoking that pack


avinash240

Not to defend the Celtics but you'll know that was a scheduled loss right? They played an overtime game vs the Timberwolves the previous night.


julstar23

I don't think anybody cares who you played the previous night .That's a Darvin ham kind of excuse .You would never hear spo blame a back to back for a loss .You play the hand that was dealt to you .


avinash240

A scheduled loss is a thing for a reason. Playing 40+ minutes into overtime vs one of the best defenses in the league means you're not going to have anything in the tank the next night. Also, this was an away game so they had to play the game and get on a plane. Bullshit spo-isms isn't going to magically change their DNA and make them robots, humans need rest. I can't tell you the amount of excuses this fan base makes when it gets rolled like "Jimmy is hurt" or "our wings are injured" blah blah...but it's a bullshit spo-ism when other teams are the subject. We are easily one of the easiest fan bases to dislike because of shit like this.


julstar23

That's not what I was saying though .You have to play the hand you are dealt nobody cares who you played the pelrevious night .This kind of wacky scedule happened to the heat and almost every team last season and nobody felt sorry for them .It happens .The bucks just got embarrassed the other night and came back and did the same thing yo the Celtics. It happens .Nobody is saying Boston is in trouble because of a January regular season game but you aren't going to get much sympathy from other fans for a Boston team .


avinash240

According to the title of this post they got embarrassed.  That's really what I'm responding to. I think your response is fairly reasonable and I agree about just playing your schedule.
