Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics were blown out by Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat 128-102 in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Heat now have a 3-0 series lead on the Celtics despite not being favored in any of the first three games. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes debate who is at fault for the Celtics collapse.

That front office argument that Wildes’ said was spot on. It’s crazy how coaches can literally bring a championship to a franchise only to get fired a couple of years later.

Thats fair but this has been consistent with Bud the whole reason KD went off against them was because Bud wouldn’t or wasnt willing to double him so ur basically letting one of the greatest iso players in nba history go 1 on 1 same thing with Jimmy wouldnt double him left Holiday on an island with him even though he was getting torched also his unwillingness to make adjustments which has been a flaw with him since his Atlanta days

Last year they were a 3 point shot away from making to the finals, if they went finals I think the ly would've beat the worriors. This year they'll go into the finals as a huge underdog. They'll be the 2023 champs because they are the best 3 point shooting team in the playoffs and the have good to great defense. More than likely they'll play Denver and nobody on Denver can stop Jimmy from getting where he wants and stop him from going to the free-throw line. Miami Heat!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DCIphanatic]

Finally people are realizing it. There was tons of warning signs for Joe Mazzula being in over his head starting in the first round. Thinking that coaching doesn't matter in the NBA, or any sport really, is such a casual view of the game. Any sports commentator who thinks that should be disqualified from reporting on NBA content in the playoffs, and for Wilde's sake the NFL season can't come fast enough. It's the same as when people just read the FT stats after the game and blame the ref's - sure one team took more FT's but WHY? The Celtics shot a low percentage from 3, but WHY? In the Celtics case their gameplan was far too simple, they wanted motion offense where their ball handlers drive and kick out to presumably open spot up shooters. That can't be your only offense against a great coach like Spoelstra no matter what his squad is. It works great in the regular season where teams have about a day to prepare for you, sometimes less. It doesn't work in the post season without adjustments. Ime Udoka was definitely better but even he struggled when team's figured out their scheme. Joe has ZERO go-to set plays out of timeouts and even refuses to call them. He'd rather end the game with 2 timeouts left than call one to get a set play. He has shown college level coaching at best and that makes perfect sense because at his peak he was college level basketball talent - that's just the degree to which he understands the game right now Nothing against Joe Mazzula but he's not ready for the league yet and it's a shame that the Celtics let the players essentially hand-pick him with such good coaches available on the market. Sometimes the players don't even know what's best for them. Even really good professional players struggle as head coaches in the league, Steve Nash for example

[@muza092]

Brou saying Murray has an argument over Jimmy these playoffs is wild..

[@nolimit_tdot]

[@NightcoreNewbie]

This is on the players more than coaching. I say 60-40 split. It doesn't matter how good or bad the coach is, if the players aren't playing good, they're going to lose. When you have that kind of talent on 1 team, you should be winning. No ifs, ands, or buts. Tatum and Brown have been horrendous this series. Tatum is 5-20 from 3 and Brown is 2-20 from 3. The coach should be telling them to stop shooting 3s so he gets the blame there.

[@DCIphanatic]

Coach gets a lot more blame than that, any offensive scheme they are running is directly influenced by him. When JT was shooting 0-for in the first quarter a good coach would call set plays to get him going, or change the scheme to get him easier looks based on the defense. He just let it continue happening as if he had no part of that equation. Mazzula had no answer for Spoelstras adjustments at any point this series. You can't motion offense your way to a finals, Mazzula was way over his head since the first series

Yes, he is making questionable if not blatantly wrong decisions but the players need to do better. I remember when Chris Ford took over the Celtics and clashed with Larry Bird. Ford wanted a fast tempo and Bird wanted a walk it up 1/2 court offence. Ford turned out to be a very good coach. It is up to Mazzulla to draw up the strategy and adjust the tactics. MORE importantly is it is up to the coach to replace a player, if he is not performing, re-focus him and send him back in. The bench players are still in the top 300 players in the WORLD
