Tim Legler would be such an awesome Coach. I wish he was :)

Celtics is having chemistry issue

Why Boston won't win ring. Yr after year
Alexander Idos
Can you just coach the Boston Celtics Mr. Legler? I'm sure you're better than Brad Stevens.
Geoffrey Mak
Legler's pts are always on pt & good. Fact is, EVEN IF Kemba is back to LY's level, Celtics will still not advance past 2nd round in this yr's playoffs. Kemba, in playoffs, is too 1 dimensional with relatively low ball IQ, not a play maker just scorer, & hopeless on D due to his sense, bad basics & size. Ainge should hv gone all in to trade him with picks & 1 solid player for Jrue Holiday, who has size & plays both ways, and most importantly, can create for others & play make. However, Celtics woes partly has to do with the players (eg. Tatum's reading of the defense in many instances not just this game has been slow & he is still ineffective in drawing fouls & finish) & partly has to do with the roster & Stevens' tactics.
Mersad Osmancevic
How about a switch in offensive tactics by van gundy. Melli space the floor so zion and ingram could actually do something offesively
Carlito Brigante
For some weird reason, all i could hear is tony montana's voice
"Look at the pelicans!....fly pelicans!!!
mcronn 100
I hope kemba can get thru this.and save his season. Good win pelicans vangundy is a good coach. I think you made history tonight.
David Taylor
At the end of the day the refs was trying to give the game to the Celtics and they still lost. Go pels lol
Joah Curry
Stevens and Coach Bud out here looking trash now
Sam
Celtics lost that game because of Kemba. Period end of story.
ItsMeI'mHim
Celtics are the Chargers of the NBA

Aaron hampton
Kemba took 12 3pts lol that is the problem. More than half his shots were 3's. He's not steph. No need to be taking that many 3's. That's Lazy Basketball in my opinion
PELICANS SZN
Kamba gotta go if I’m the Celtics
Patrick R
If Kemba isn't contributing offensively. He's literally the worse player in the NBA
Anthony Fortunato
Kemba Walker shooting 1/12 from the 3 pt line doesn't help the Celtics.

Hey Celtics fans, we're doing TWO Jersey giveaways on our Twitter and Instagram! @CelticsJournal
JoJo Freelancer
These guys straight up blew my whole parlay on 24 point lead...n I like Boston but Walker killed them last night he's gotta penetrate pass
YouCanCallMeReTro
As a Celtics fan this is the first time I've lost faith in them in years. Even when they had struggles in years past I thought there was a chance they could iron it out, but as this roster stands I see no shot of them making a good playoff run. They need to add capable role players, their depth is just atrocious. Missing Smart and Kemba struggling they could be staying afloat if they had some quality guys off the bench, but given the burden being put on their core there's no room for any injuries or sustained slumps from any members of their core.
Van Iyke
Boston made stupid trades. Look at the hole left by Hayward.
Vaughn Miller
New Orleans Lakers with a good comeback when.
Jesse Ojanen
Love Kemba as a Hornets fan, but I'm glad we let him go
Mike Barbosa
CELTICS SUCK THIS YEAR
Mike Eagan
1. This offense is horrible. They are at bottom of league in quality shots. They don’t get to the foul line. 2. The team plays with no energy 3. Stevens doesn’t play Williams and Pritchard consistently enough 4. Rob Williams should be playing 30+ minutes a game 5. Stevens ATO is awful 6. WHY IS STEVENS NOT FIRED!
Michael Auger
Why would anyone move when the ball is in Tatum’s hands? He is the most selfish player on the team followed by Brown and Walker. They dribble way to much and rarely look inside. Stevens coaches like a woman and doesn’t get after these guys. I’d fire Stevens and get a coach that get them playing good team basketball.
Llygr3839
Bostons coach is overrated and dumbest in the NBA coming from a Cs fan. Stagnant couldn't adjust and just couldn't figure out how to beat the opposing teams esp in 2nd half
Dan O'Neall
People need to realize M. Smart is the muscle, heart & soul of this Boston team.
I love Brad Stevens.
I believe he is an excellent coach but sometimes we all need a fresh start elsewhere.
K C
Tim Legler is one of those Rare journalist who is not bias.. has a solid take on a subject and seems like a Great man.
i hope we have a special show with tim legler on it breaking down games
Boondock
ESPN doesnt deserve Legler
Stephen _
ughhhhhh...Tatum deserves some of this blame too. too much iso
Dr. Nathan Thomas
Kemba is not the same
Jose hernandez
Celtics need to trade brown for better role players and a center, this team sucks because they want brown and Tatum to be the stars, didn’t work out for Kyrie, Hayward, now kemba, the mix is wrong Danny ange does not see it for some reason
FaceTat KneeGrow
From the bean Roxbury to be exact so I just wanna let my fellow Boston Celtics fans know it don’t MATTER IF WE WIN OR LOSE NEMORE the nets r TAKING THE EAST .
iliAKAthenatural
Lets not get too far ahead of ourselves. . The c’s problems this season have been a major impediment to their finding a rhythm or stride. its a bad stretch, one they were due for. 3/4 EastConfFinals appearances, a couple game 7’s. They’ll find their way back to form. But getting over that hump to get to the finals is going yo take focus by brad stevens. Yes lack of depth, but brad needs see a rotation through and instill some confidence in the bench.
Leo Brada
Its not about Kemba or Kyrie. Celtics fans are the most toxic in the world...and no NBA star would ever want to play for them. The best solution is to move the franchise in a different city. These toxic fans do not deserve an NBA team.
Jonathan
0:47 Tatum (and Brown & Kemba) is slightly late with some of these passes. Not bad decisions because plays could be made from those 4on3s, but just to hit guys more quicker with passes.
JoshuaBornalesVlogs
GSW = BUCKS = CELTICS
T.U.R.N. THE UNDERGROUND REMNANT NETWORK TV
Chris Paul watching the Celtics rubbing his hands like . . .
Francisco Garcia
They need Capela or Whiteside or both. Kemba is injured or we just seen the best days in charlotte.
Joey Astorino
The brash drawbridge typically pump because fly socioeconomically guarantee around a knowledgeable pumpkin. ill-informed, blushing harbor
Peter Svanberg
Great analysis, as always, by Legler.
BossManJugg
New coach maybe..& some trades..Brad Steven's is good but it's time for a change
Zedrick Tecson
To be fair, he made a good point. Acknowledging the team's struggles, they simply just have to play better.
REadYGang H2o
Time to blow that team up
Baltej Bains
It's hard to believe marcus smart is so important to this team's success.
Alex Lopez
Tory shining and getting buckets with the hornets for half the price of Kemba lol imagine if they had harden oh well serves them right
Joel Torre
The Celtics record will somehow affect the great season of Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum. Both will still make the All Star Game but will surely miss a slot in the All NBA Teams. Same with Beal.
Jay Gray
Time for a new coach and a little better talent.
Jose Ramos
Last 3 years Celtics are blowing huge leads. We haven’t addressed the need to get defensive players. Kenna Walker is a dud.
juanio
Stagnation on offense
Brian Ofori
Lol Kemba needs to step up. He’s weak - his play I mean
Joseph Garcia
Danny ainge needs to trade Kemba and get more depth or a quality big. This team isn't good enough and it frustrates me..Stevens also needs to be in the hotseat. Last year they should of been in the finals. Stevens blew 2 leads that could of been the difference in the celts making the finals.
C. Martin
For me....
THE M0ST HIGH
IT'S KYRIE FAULT..
Amir Tyler
Nobody scared of Jayson Tatum lookin like Rico Swave.
Dave Martin
It's Trump's fault!
Daniel Moore
It fall on kemba walker period.....
B Rich
Boston has no identity. They need more size badly and kemba isnt the answer for them also. Not a good fit.
Nelky Connor
Celtics should of traded him to the Wizards for John Wall
Saintyy
ay hornets you wanna swap terry for kemba again?
whatudoin1
mediocre defense? i saw an amazing job from josh hart,Lonzo and ingram
Stevens should have changed his rotation when they started doubling Tatum in the 4th and Kept jaylen as an option
As far as Kemba ...if he doesnt find his groove ,might as well scratch the pg position and get Drummond or a 4 that can score
REDDEADHEAD SALT
NBA is money hungry. Mm.....
REDDEADHEAD SALT
U split ??....?sad high school talent
steven whiters
Tatum getting doubled every play has to get better and handling traps. Williams need more minutes. Kemba can’t create the same separation anymore and has been awful for most of the year. Jaylen brown had an off night
Black
Lakers in 5
DAPPA DON
Yoooo! What happened to Kemba?!
Flourish King
Great team win for the Pels
West Burns
Smart gotta go walker gotta go
Orlando Marin
I’ve been saying this for years! Celtics can’t keep leads! That’s where every game they play comes down to the wire regardless of their early leads!
El Chicho Santana
The Celtics cant keep lead origin way back in NBA Finals 2010. And the tradition continue till today.
George Simmons
The thinkable motion unsurprisingly cure because nut genotypically skip unto a brown broker. trite, likeable orange
Big J
Kemba has to go.
Night Krawler
Walker needs to go
Fox 97
Danny Ainge really still has a job because he won one ring in 2008 lol.
xFlow777
Jason Tatum passes with words "hey I'm expecting back!!"
Johntavious Hardwell
Pels: can i take this play outta your playbook?
Suns: sure 😋
SMD
It don’t even look like they was tryna run plays for Tatum. They just gave him the ball n The team was just sitting there watching him get double teamed. I pray Tatum forces his way out of Boston. Kid is tired of losing.
SMD
@Shane Robinson Nobody wants to keep falling short. Kid wants to win. Sorry he’s not complacent with losing...
Zarey Dastaryan
Yup to the Lakers lol.
Shane Robinson
You trippin he’s in a great situation in Boston lol bro been to what 3 ECF so far? Or 2? That’s solid in a short career
SMD
Tatum should’ve been taken those shots at the end. NOT Kemba Walker.
Kyle Inocencio
Suns collapse to the Nets, Suns next game Pelicans collapse to the Suns, Pelicans next game Celtics collapse to the Pelicans. Celtics next game is against Dallas.
Watch out Dallas
kd35 MrClutch
And you guys were saying kemba was better than kyrie you guys need to stop the cap
summer
comeon you have to give credit on pelicans team defense thats all there is to it ....we played really good defense especially hart and zo
BThreatTV
But but but Kemba is better than Kyrie they said????
Lucky Luke
Kemba is clearly playing poorly and that is big reason and of course Marcus Smart is hurt.
Kim Tieka
Its mostly Kemba, he is so terrible. Brick after brick, game after game. All that money he makes to launch brick after brick. Also, Steven's plays a lot of weird lineups that doesn't always make sense, he needs some of the blame too. And lastly is the bench, which is awful. Full of first round busts.
W C
Stevens has to go, he has lost the lockerroom
Unknown Person
He’s been lost them for the past several years
Unknown Person
@JAPARICAN really?
W C
@JAPARICAN Yes he does
JAPARICAN
Danny ainge has to go to
Chris Miller
U can't even bet on NBA anymore. Every night 3 or 4 teams are up by 20-30 u go to the restroom and the game is tied
Lawrence Kin
The Celtics need to overhaul their roster.
Nate Gomes
Jason Tatum regressed he lost his shooting touch.
Frankenviews *
Like D'Antoni, Coach Brad is a great strategy coach but he's not much of a personality rangler the way Phil Jackson and Pat Riley was. But with a overload of talent, the Celtics need that skill to get some coordination. The team could get an assistant coach to do it.
If not, the Celtics need a "Draymond Green / Chris Paul" type player. A guy who gets the top talent to behave and fall in line in the locker room. Not always the best player, but when the best player doesn't have the personality to do it (Steph, Kawhi, Tatum, PG13, Booker, etc) he does it.
Andrew Hedlund
Without their fearless leader Marcus Smart this team poops their pants a lot
mj is goat
@Unknown Person He is still their heart and soul. Marcus Smart pushes you to the absolute limit with his will to compete
Unknown Person
Can’t rely on one dude
cocky rocky
Totally agree, 0% grit without him.
Rey Sorbeto
As a Laker fan, this is music in my ears. 🤭

BREAKING NEWS :
Brad Stevens going back to coaching at the local Y.M.C.A.
LOL
Ken Ken
Boston needs a veteran to guide them. Smart is not a veteran.
Dynasty
Boooooooooston!
Travis Daisy
Defense is effort bottom line my pelicans are capable of playing d
Mike Clarke
Can Brad Stevens get some heat? What has he ever done to make him so untouchable?
chris anthony
@W C nurse invented box in one and wall defense yep he definitely did ,time for u to go to school
W C
@chris anthony yes I do. Year one , NBA champion ( I do not want to here any SAS, ESPN, Broussard,etc. Nonsense) watch every game of that playoff run, Nurse invented the Giannis wall and the box and 1 against Curry. Year 2, second best record in NBA with no Kawhi. Destroyed Lakers twice and lost to Boston in 7 by a couple of plays that could go either way. Year three...playing on the road for all the games, 2 and 8 start and now 16 and 15 and they beat Nets, Bucks an d Sixers team . Nurse is heading to Phil Jackson/Pat Riley levels as a coach
chris anthony
@W C you put nurse with spo and pop?
Jamal
Media loves him
W C
He was exposed when OG hit that shot in the bubble against then. Yes they won in 7, but it was close. ESPN seems to think he is a good coach, but he is not in Spoelstra, Nurse or Pop
Elan Zankman
Tatum isn't doing "everything he can." He waits until he's literally trapped before thinking about making a pass. He needs to pass out of double teams faster.
Mersad Osmancevic
Its true. He did it once and that led to an easy alley oop bucket
Ittai Weisman
@Kalvin Baber that is a terrible take, stop it
Slab Crva
I mean he's averaging about 5 assists
KillaCsonAttack
and he never finds the right guy out of it either, so they end up shooting a contested shot anyway. They're just straight up leaving a guy open and we almost never get that person a shot.
Kalvin Baber
And niggas think Tatum better than Spider Mitchell Told y'all Mitchell 6'3 Tatum 6'10 and Mitchell play bigger and stronger than Tatum 2 years before the 2020 Playoffs rs
rick schofield
Tristan looked like a developing star at Cleveland with Lebron......oh well
