[@mrpogz]

Reasons why the Celtics lost: 1. Jayson Tatum injury in the very first play. He was so important in their offense. 2. Miami's zone defense. With Tatum injured, the Celtics seemed not comfortable breaking it. 3. Poor 3-pt shooting. To break the zone, you have to be a very good 3-pt shooting team. Celtics are only good shooting the 3 if the defense is not zone. Conclusion: Coach Spo schooled the first-year coach Mazulla. The coaching match-up gap was so massive.

[@TiciTotyTony]

Plus the turnovers

[@johnsmith-tt6to]

I 100-percent agree with your game breakdown of what happened. The Miami zone is going to be no match for the nuggets with the Joker in the paint. Its going to be barbecue chicken. I say nuggets in four or five The Joker will easily get a triple-double every game

[@jjones9822]

This team doesn’t need two star forwards. It’s a different game now, much faster paced with a lot of three pointers. Let Brown go and get yourself a true scoring point guard who can read the floor and distribute and make his team better. Take the weight off Tatum.

In short they aint have the heart of Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish ,DJ, Dave Cowens, John Havliceck, Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, KG, Jojo White, Cedric Maxwell and Paul Pierce. Plus other Ca legends that have guts

[@cfl4286]

Imo you cannot max jaylen brown if you’re the Celtics. They’d have absolutely zero cap room and he’s so bad bruh that whole series it’s just so hard to watch him. Tatum has proved he can go off and win you games in the playoffs. I would trade jaylen but the problem is what can you get back that could actually help your team

[@koriweaver1602]

as a celtics fan i and TIRED OF THIS

[@basselwehbe8412]

the nba gods always do swish dirty

[@nightpandas7178]

Because they don't have a point guard, JB and JT are FORWARDS and Smart disappears. PG by committee and analytics basketball is super lame to watch honestly, won't get you anywhere in the end. Justice was served baby

[@hahahahaflyer]

Analytic ball makes no sense to me. I get the 3 ball is important especially today but you still need to able to attack the rim. Also use the mid range. If you only use 2 out of 3 things (attacking the rim and 3) it makes you easier to scheme against and defend especially when the game slows down in the postseason. It’s like some teams didn’t learn from those rockets teams in the late 2010s.

I wonder what editing software swish out uses.

[@RichieAlton]

As a die hard boston fan.. i'm not exactly sure what it is with this team... Especially the fact they blow 10+ point leads at the end of the 4th; consistently. Watching most of the games over a couple of years I'm convinced they quickly get into this victim "Poor me" mentality mixed with "I'm a superstar ego" & make horrible & soft ass plays while constantly whining & looking for calls. Plus there is some sort of energy battle between Tatum & Brown. But this is just my observation that I realized after yelling at my TV this series & from being at game 2 against Miami. & this is not a winner beats all mindset.

[@FoulLine]

Fr, We have more than enought talent! Just cant win

[@0111NH_Noah]

Turnover prone team! That's their problem.

[@michaelpappace5610]

4:20 also to add to the weirdness, they were the only team on this list that didnt make it to the finals… except for the 2006 Celtics

[@jamariowilkins8418]

Swish being a fan of Boston, i implore you to go back further then this year, we’ve been blowing leads way longer than this. Idk why you get Malcom and he not the starter, makes no sense to me

[@imhong28]

He was injured and just was available to play in game 7 ECF Finals.

[@jamariowilkins8418]

@@imhong28 no I know that, I’m saying from jump, like he should’ve been starting in the regular season

[@therealspikeflee]

I'm a simple man, I get the SWISHOUT notification I tune in

[@BeeJayyDaDon]

The main problem I noticed is when it really matters they both get butterfingers and can’t dribble for shit

[@sbcj9]

Not too sure about the timing. I'm going off memory here. But Aj and Rey in WCW. I know AJ was a young star just getting started. But it would of been something to see them early in their careers and see what they could of done.

[@zohcold]

3 ball killed them - charles was right

[@EndoftheTownProductions]

The Celtics need a veteran point guard to run the offense.

[@junjunhaha]

They have no player with a killer instinct.

[@youngchieffrom7th]

I’m not even a Celtics fan, and while I was watching game 7, I was just begging for the Celtics to STOP shooting 3s and attack the rim 🤦🏾‍♂️ it’s like they were trying way too hard to look like the 2016 warriors

[@nicoresnik5692]

Rooting for this team was so fucking painful this year. So much talent yet seemingly so little heart

[@johnszczerba9979]

You didn't even touch on Jaylen Brown forgetting how to dribble a basketball...he kept turning it over himself by dribbling like trash. It was ridiculous to watch

[@mjkittredge]

6 years in the league he should have fixed that by now. Or just not have him initiate the offense.

[@xavierb9061]

Can you think of Tatum being double teamed? Thats #1 reason celts are inconsistent

[@abadevalentine4699]

someone said the boston celitics are soft and i agree

[@gideonamankwah6491]

I was emphatically wrong about the Celts. They have depth but lack IQ, a point guard, and proper coaching. Tatum and Brown need to handle the ball better. Smart is too wild. Horford is good but old.

[@ChrisDodges123]

One thing you didnt account for was will & heart.
