The Boston Celtics Are Dead
๐คฃ
When the Celtics had to answer, they couldn't. Instead what we got was absolutely the worst shooting performance of their season. Just 39/22% splits, I almost don't know how to explain it. Open shots, wide open shots, it didn't matter. Nobody could make a shot to save their lives.
My 82-year old Big Brother is a SEER! THAT is EXACTLY what he said to me at HT. He also called this right after G6 as a BLOWOUT for the "Heat". I have never disobeyed that man in my LIFE and those are two examples of why.
But the shooting is just part of the equation. The Celts season is over in part because they were once again careless with the basketball. Another 15 TOs...
My brother and I talked about Beans' future at HT, too. "They need to blow up that team." He's right, of course, as this "Celtics" fanzine says in their lede. Of course he's right, he is a Golden God.
You play stupid, you deserve to lose. The Celts were careless early, careless late, it didn't matter. That is so fucking frustrating. In the biggest game of the season, you are that careless with the basketball. That is inexcusable.
Stupid is as stupid does, barstool. Your "Celtics" are a low IQ, not just a low BB IQ, a LOW IQ team.
Then there was the performance of Jaylen Brown.
In these big games, your stars have to carry you. You need them to show up. Jaylen had maybe his worst game of the series which is saying something considering how poor his series was to start. The Celtics cannot survive getting just 19 points on 8-23 shooting (1-9) and 8 TOs. That's right, you did not misread that number...
8 TOs.
If you're curious, the Heat had just 9 as a team.
8 TURNOVERS!!!!!!!!! Barstool, your "Celtics" are an entitled group of prisses, all bluebloods, top five pics, you got one guy who was nicknamed in college "THE PRESIDENT" who is so clueless that he said after G3, "We still believe that we're the better team." You got another guy, the Veep, who stole Dwayne Wade's 2006 line, "We're not going out like this." There's nothing original in your team's thinking, it's all entitlement and Hallmark card "inspiration." I know that you know that your "Celtics" are viewed as unlikable and unlovable by other players and teams. They're not respected, they're viewed with contempt as powder puffs. You're right, barstool, they are dead. Does Brad Stevens have the guts to bury this rotting corpse and move on? Or is he a priss, too? You're a fan, barstool, I'm a fan, we have that DNA together. I completely understand your disgust and you are right.
Let's call this what it was. It was a choke. You can't ask for more than Game 7 on your own floor, and now the Celts have experienced what MIA did last year. To get absolutely blown out? Pathetic.
I'm honestly still in shock this is the performance the Celts put up.
I honestly did not see this coming, but my savant Big Brother did. And full 100 here, I was not shocked. I am surprised that you were. The "Celtics" lay eggs like chickens on fertility drugs.
My sincere condolences as a fan, barstool. We've all been there. Hole your crap org accountable. The fish rots from the head up and those heads should ROLL. Sincere best wishes that they do the right thing by you, the fans.

Charles Barkley annihilates ‘dumbass’ Celtics’ performance vs. Heat
Charles Barkley was having none of it. The Hall of Famer turned NBA on TNT analyst could not help but air out his frustrations on Boston after what he deemed as a “stupid” first-half performance. Chuck did not hold back:
“Watching these dumbass Celtics is making my head hurt,” Barkley said. “… It’s so bad to watch them play. There’s no ball movement, there’s no body movement. It’s just frustrating watching a team with this much talent play stupid.”
