The Celtics refuse to capitulate

The were out scored 36 - 21 in the 4th quarter and almost blew another big lead down the stretch. But they didn’t! The delusional Green Kool Aid huffers will tell you. Well, Giannis wasn’t playing.

The Celtics simply refuse to put us at ease. Every time they are pressed into the same position. The last test they need to pass, they fail. Or come close enough to failure on the court like this 122 - 119 win that it feels like a fail. Because they have basically zero track record of handling their business, holding their water, keeping their shit together when a quality opponent applies pressure in high leverage situations.

Thankfully we here at Simples Minds Sports have developed a solution.

 Joe Mazzula has been banned from blocking players shots on the floor in what most are calling an Anti - ToolBag Rule. 

It has unintentionally opened the door to getting the Celtics over the hump.

 We have Joe Mazzulla playing sneaky Pete defense from the bench blocking some unexpecting squid ultimately would give the Celtics an advantage, BUT him coaching in the 4th quarter drives the odds of the Celtics winning way down. 

So, mid way through the 3rd quarter Mazzula needs to pick his spot and block an opposing player with the intention of getting ejected prior to the 4th quarter starting. With Mazzula removed from his role on the bench doing absolutely nothing, Sam Cassell can take this team home. It’s bullet proof.
