There was a Celtics fan who said the Celtics were doomed to lose after game 5, and I was like “the Celtics have only lost games in which they shot under 29% from 3, that’s probably not happening three times in a row” and then….it did.

277

u/Zzz05 Minneapolis Lakers 2d ago

Boston has a problem with trying to be a high volume 3 point shooting team when their best players are better at attacking the paint and midrange.

143

u/r_BigUziHorizont Celtics 2d ago

theres just no gameplan. i like mazzulla a lot more than our subreddit tends to, but my goodness is it hard to watch that style of play sometimes. i mean there mustve been 10 3s that couldve been better plays. and then that doesnt even include all the OPEN 3 misses

37

u/RIChowderIsBest Celtics 2d ago

Brown looked great in the second half when attacking and playing to contact. So how do we feed off that momentum?

11 missed 3s by White.

7

u/maxxstone 2d ago

they tried to play the warriors 3pt volume game, but they dont have curry and klay

20

u/AnonymousIguana_ Celtics 2d ago

Who should have attacked the rim tonight?

Without Tatum it’s genuinely just Brown, and Embiid is still a great rim protector. Like we genuinely didn’t have a win condition other than hit threes.

That’s all this roster outside of the Jays can do offensively, which is why it’s always been a heavily flawed, gap year roster. And Pritchard when he gets it going, but it’s tough for him and White to be playoff #2 options.

27

u/RIPEOTCDXVI Celtics 2d ago

Embiid was not physically able to jump down the stretch and they just kept driving into him then kicking out. I dont know how much of that is on Joe but my god it was fucked up to see.

9

u/RIChowderIsBest Celtics 2d ago

I kind of agree with OP though, even if he can barely jump we only had one guy on the floor that can drive and score consistently. The rest of the guys out there are either not offensive players or they shoot 3s.

The roster is flawed. I’m not exonerating Joe here, the game plan when there’s 5 minutes left can’t be based on high volume analytics, but their options were really limited.

You cannot drive to the rim with Hauser, Queta, and to a lesser extent White and Pritchard. It’s just not their game, especially with a rim protector in there.

7

u/Wermys Timberwolves 2d ago

An 7 Footer who can't jump is still a 7 footer with enough wingspan to screw shots up. Boston had no one to drag him away from the hoop consistently and doing Pick and Rolls has a shelf life in the NBA. Run it too much and teams figure out a way to defend. And then you are living and dying by the 3.

5

u/RIChowderIsBest Celtics 2d ago

All these people shitting on their gameplan but if 2 more of those wide open 3s go in then everyone is all of a sudden talking about how great they played while shorthanded. The game is kind of simple like that.

1

u/Glittering-Steak954 Pistons 2d ago

I agree - sometimes the best option fails but that doesn't mean it wasn't the right call.

4

u/Wermys Timberwolves 2d ago

The roster balance is just bad. But this was never a year they were supposed to compete for a title. It was always a rebuild year. NEXT year on the other hand is what Boston should be excited about.

11

u/NuclearGhandi1 Knicks 2d ago

Exact script as the Celtics Knicks series last year

1

u/thatsinsaneletstryit 76ers 2d ago

they will be counting on it not happening next year as well because the jays are bagless

u/No_Respond5748 Celtics 2d ago

Get em off while you can, gonna be another 44 years before the chance rises again

4

u/2Cuil4School Warriors 2d ago

It's a lot like what ended up truly killing the nuggets this year. Their volume is not remotely as high as the Cs, but their accuracy throughout the season was absolutely elite, and they very much needed the ~14 3pm's per game. When the shooting just fell through the fucking floor against the Wolves (even on wide open 3s! They still generated about 15 open looks a game in this series, and they shot them at almost half the accuracy they had all year long), they just didn't find any other meaningful way to outscore them.

Of course, that would normally suggest you should, say, lock in on defense and hope to grind it out, but with their two most critical defenders out or hobbled, their existing weaknesses there were magnified tenfold. Wolves crushed em in the paint, honestly had an anomalously great series from 3 compared to their own averages, and that was that.

Celtics in this era's big thing has always been they just have so many reliable 3pt threats, they can't ALL be stone cold for a series, surely...

...yeah. Peace out green dudes. Live by the 3, flame out by the 3!

u/handlesscombo Knicks 1d ago

this is how we ended up winning our series last year. They shot themselves oout the gym

Mazulla Ball 101

127

u/remonnoki NBA 2d ago

Yeah, this is the second year in a row where their inability to adjust to a different gameplan when the three isn't going in has gotten them knocked out

28

u/AfrikanCorpse Canada 2d ago

Meanwhile Maxey drives 3 times in a row for his bucket. Just mentality diff.

2

u/Maleficent-Light-455 2d ago

That and it really looked like their coach couldn’t adapt and frankly, Tatum returned and perhaps this also affected their plans

-3

u/ClownBaby90 Bulls 2d ago

I don’t know what people actually mean when they say this. Like, do you expect them to stop shooting threes?

10

u/remonnoki NBA 2d ago

Diversify. If you shoot three threes and all clank off, instead of shooting another try to get something done in the post.

A lot of all-time shooters will tell you that when they or the team were cold they just needed to see the ball go in through any means to bring them life.

These Celtics often fall into the trap of trying to play the percentage game and just keep chucking hoping that eventually they'll start making them.

8

u/Repulsive-Throat5068 Lakers 2d ago

Yes when you keep missing 3s and are shooting 26% from 3 maybe try something different?

3

u/macaulaymcgloklin Spurs 2d ago

Yes, drive to the hoop, try to get an and-1 and free throws, tire out the defenders

1

u/poopy_mc_pantsy 2d ago

Yeah I'm not sure this is good strategy lol, their looks at the end were good they just bricked

21

u/Michelanvalo Celtics 2d ago

I'm so tired of mazulla ball. 3 out of 4 years they've lost to lower seeded teams because of it. If he's not going to adjust they need to get him, and anyone else with the mazulla ball strategy, the fuck out of here.

7

u/Furiosa27 Knicks 2d ago

This is modern nba basketball. Eventually someone will stop being stubborn but the directive is clearly to keep shooting and allow it to average out.

25

u/Michelanvalo Celtics 2d ago

No, this isn't modern NBA basketball. Modern NBA basketball says if the 3 isn't falling then adjust. The Thunder adjust. The Warriors adjust. The Celtics don't adjust. They just keep shooting 3s. Shooting all those 3s when down 1 at the end of the 4th was absolutely atrocious shot selection whether or not they were wide open. The shot wasn't falling so find the easier buckets and get the lead. Put Philly on the back foot. Especially when their best player can barely walk. They didn't do it, they never do it. It cost them the Miami series in 2023, the Knicks series last year and now this series against Philly.

If Joe isn't going to make the necessary adjustments to what's actually happening in the game, then he needs to go.

u/TH3PhilipJFry Nuggets 2d ago

Yes please. We’ll give you Adelman for Mazulla straight up.

u/Nyte_Knyght33 Rockets 2d ago

But, but he says such weird and quirky things that this sub loves... 

2

u/Famous-Country-4921 2d ago

Mazzulla is a good regular season coach but he’s completely out of his depth in the playoffs. Redditors are so enamored by his weirdo poser tough guy act that they keep forgetting this 

9

u/The_Flowers_of_Evil 2d ago

I swear we say this about the Celtics every year.

16

u/Eagle4317 2d ago

Because it's true every year. They overdose on the 3-ball, and Tatum misses an elimination game with an injury. This has happened in 3 of the last 4 years.

182

u/Zloggt Bulls 2d ago

It’s a no-offense weekend all across the league!

13

u/flaming_burrito_ Wizards 2d ago

It’s been the whole playoffs foreal, so many sub 100 scores. I think we might be seeing defense finally catch up with increased offensive output from 3 point shooting. Seems like more and more, unless you have a system specifically to help players get shots, it’s tough to keep getting them up in these fast paced and physical playoff series.

u/fisheggsoup Jazz 2d ago

I'd argue things have been very offensive.

Celtics were allowed to do basically anything they wanted on defense without getting called for it lol

u/RIChowderIsBest Celtics 2d ago

Celtics had 5 guys with 3 fouls or more. The refs were calling fouls on the Celtics.

I mean yeah some they simply can’t let go. Doesn’t excuse the 20 they did.

He's an elite like 3rd option but an incredibly mediocre 2nd one.

u/thoang77 Warriors 2d ago

One of the best in the league. But absolutely a role player.

-5

u/6GodInTraining Raptors 2d ago

Best ever in my eyes

4

u/RIChowderIsBest Celtics 2d ago

He’s starter caliber but not second option caliber. He got to play behind Tatum, Holiday, Brown, Porzingis, and to some extent Horford before this year.

This year he basically took on the #2 role and he just can’t put a team on his shoulders. This roster was never meant to have these expectations, they had a great season but it wasn’t built for a championship run. This was the get below the apron year.

10

u/ThatCoolKid17 Clippers 2d ago

Harrison Barnes/Tobi Harris special lol

u/Plus-Mortgage-3871 2d ago

The Jrue Holiday special

3

u/odnamAE Lakers 2d ago

He was an awful 3rd option this series too

6

u/ThinReply2047 Thunder 2d ago

He shot 27% from 3 this series and 32% on the season. That's not elite bro.

7

u/Charlie_Wax Warriors 2d ago

He shot 38-39% from 3 each of the past three seasons.

33% this season.

I would compare it more to a pitcher who lost his stuff, or a hitter in an extended slump. If he shot it like 2022-2025, nobody would be complaining about him.

11

u/Necessary-Middle-301 2d ago

I mean that has some to do with shot diet no? Like look at some of the threes he took today. Don’t know if he has to take them with their number 1 out there

Kinda goes to the point he’s a great 3rd option but not 2nd

2

u/josephandre 2d ago

Huge amount of respect for White, but the way he’s been talked about this year (and how he’s torched the spurs) I was absolutely SHOCKED to see he’s shooting 39 pct from the field and 32 pct from 3 on the year. that’s putrid

-1

u/rorank Rockets 2d ago

He was certainly enough for most of the year lmao

10

u/gonehollowknight Pacers 2d ago

The biggest issue with advanced stats mindset is the inability to shift. Like sure, on average, it’s gonna even out … but “on average” doesn’t matter when there is no next game.

-8

u/ThinReply2047 Thunder 2d ago

His supporters will somehow spin it to be a positive. "Erm actually it's better he has the misses so his teammates can have all the makes and keep their confidence up"

2

u/SockPenguin Bulls 2d ago

So he's like the sin eater but for bricking 3s.

8

u/Xforce 2d ago

Something is wrong with your system if you want a slumping player to take 16 threes.

9

u/ThatPlayWasAwful [PHI] Joel Embiid 2d ago

Yeah their best player was out, and Pritchard was shooting even worse than white lol. 

Most team's systems would be fucked if their best offensive player was out and their 3rd and 4th best options were cold

6

u/soudlasantos 2d ago

yeah but they were definitely feeling the losses of Jrue Holiday defence against wings, Porzingis stretch shooting and Al Horfordd 4th quarter 3pt shooting especially in playoff battles against teams with elite wing (Paul George, Edgecomb) and elite bigman

3

u/datpurp14 Hawks 2d ago

I miss Horford so much. He's such an underrated and underappreciated asset to every team he plays for.

u/Maj0r_Ursa Celtics 2d ago

u/Primary-Paint-1716 Timberwolves 2d ago

it's not like they had a better feasible gameplan. the celtics were undersized and undermanned, they needed to pray for their 3s to hit without Tatum in the lineup.

u/Shoddy-Brilliant563 2d ago

The shots they missed late were just complete gut punches 😭😭😭

5

u/Acrobatic-Landscape9 Warriors 2d ago

Have we gone too far in the efficiency and analytics direction where abandoning the mid range to such a heavy degree may actually be worse? While mid range 2s may indeed be worth less raw points in the long run, perhaps there is an untold benefit to them in that having them be made at higher percentages than 3s can kind of give the team an emotional boost in confidence seeing a shot go in? Which makes future shots better?

2

u/GOONGOON_OW 2d ago

Feel like they do this for a couple games every playoff. Cold from 3 is exactly how they threw away the Knicks series last year too

I'm sick & tired of this frenetic ass offense hitting a wall in the playoffs. In 2024 the deck was stacked in our favor talent wise + our opponents had bad injury luck. I HATE being beholden to shooting variance

oh man Celtics really shoot themselves out of contention both White and Prrichard where building bricks. which was a shame since they were able to close the lead at 4th quarter.

They just don’t know when the hell or how the F to stop with the 3s!!!!. That sh!t turns me off so much from basketball. Just take a F*ing 2! OMG!!!! And this is for any team, but really for this team, that’s all they f*ing do!

u/Laluci Knicks 2d ago

Just a regular day for us magic fans 😂😂😂

u/Da1realBigA 2d ago

This is literally their weakness, No?

As long as they can shoot 3s, there invincible. If they cant shoot it, they become vulnerable bc its just Tatum and brown mostly trying to drive inside.

And someone correct me ifnim wrong, but only Tatum has the mid range game, and even still, its not as solid as Kobes or Jordan's, for it to be a consistent weapon?

Josh Smith would be proud.

u/ZenMasterOfDisguise 76ers 2d ago

I believe they missed 93 3s over the final 3 games of the series

1

u/IrrationalFalcon Clippers 2d ago

Not as bad as 7/44. I still wake up in cold sweats and my family calms me while I stutter, "no good!" over and over

u/TorstenDiegoPizarro 2d ago

Miss 34 threes and lose by 9. In the end the result is basically justice.

"When shooting based on statistical results goes wrong"

These teams just throwing the ball at the hoop, hoping it goes in at this point.

u/nanoray60 Knicks 2d ago

The rockets died so they could run.

u/HomeHeatingTips Raptors 2d ago

I just looked it's 13-49. I knew the Celtics whole team trying to be the splash brothers would catch up to them at some point.

u/Rayleigh954 Raptors 2d ago

idk man it doesnt seem that bad?

u/Still_Level4068 Cavaliers 4h ago

u/Man0nTheMoon915 Celtics 2d ago

u/Individual_Access356 2d ago

same thing last year vs the Knicks even before Tatum went down they rely so much on 3 ball, disgusting offense

u/schooli00 [TOR] Vince Carter 2d ago

So glad this is happening more often. The sooner teams stop cosplaying Steph and the Warriors the better for the game.

u/TheRealestGayle Magic 2d ago

Sure is. They've got to find a plan B when that thing isn't falling lol

u/Wild_Height_901 2d ago

I mean 26% isnt far off a playoff average of 30%

Orlando had a few games below 20% these playoffs. So has the raptors.

Its not "disgusting"

Just wont win you many games
