Just not a fan of the Trae and Murray back court down the stretch. The floor just isn't spaced enough for them to do what they want to do

Trae needs the room he had in Game 5.

Murray needs to go.

Trae isnt going anywhere

Same. Trade him for KAT or OG. He's a very good player but I can't do this small backcourt anymore.

Trae will have to change his ways...This hero ball sh-t has to stop in the 4th.  Quinn has to convince him it is losing basketball

It works sometimes, but in the playoffs 'sometimes' won't cut it. Lesson learned? 

[Marvin24Williams]

Oh well it was a good effort. Looking forward to JJ breaking out next season

[FL_BRYANT]

You love it when Trae gets hot but you also are scared of his shot selection, ball dominance, and his desire to win the game on his on. Q will work on ball movement and pace during the off season.

Hopefully everyone buys in.

Agreed , but we need better fit of players

That performance had nothing to do with fit...That was all Trae Young

Pretty extreme notion even for you

They played better in this series than they did against Miami, but they peaked two years ago in the playoffs and have largely regressed since. The overall results prove it. They just caught lightning in a bottle a couple of years ago.

The only real ways is if they can get a legit first option scorer to play with Trae. Murray and Collins are not good enough.

That room was provided by Bogie. Strange decision by Quin

Now, its Cancun time...

Bringing Capela back in around 6 minutes shrunk the floor.

Y'all kill me with this insane notion that if someone else was on the floor, Trae would not have kept shooting and missing.  Give me an fing break

[TheNorthCydeRises]

 

This was the key stretch in the game.  Trae and Hunter with makeable 3s to push the lead to 6, but missed.

Trae and Murray missing shots in the paint to put us up by 2.

Missed 3 by Trae off the jump ball, which was a wide open look, that rims out.

3 by Brown . . 3 by Horford . . 3 by Tatum with Dre all over him.  Celtics on a 9 - 0 run

 

 

Then they end us on a defensive stop and a hustle offensive rebound that Tatum puts back for a dunk.

What could we get for Murray and CC?

He has no conscious to a fault..

[benhillboy]

The best starter was -8 (John)

The worst reserve was +1 (Bey)

Ended the season on a W/L.  
 

Say what you will, this teams stays on brand lol.

So proud they fought to the end.  Celtics had the two best players in the series, hard to win against those odds.  
 

Enjoyed the hell outta AJ’s sensational rookie campaign, Jalen’s leap; Bey’s splashy addition, OO redeeming his season strong, and Bogi doing Bogi.  Check y’all at the draft.
