The Celtics have forgotten how to play

The Greg Hill Show dives into the Boston Celtics' disheartening 106-93 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, which forced a Game 7 in the Eastern Conference Finals. Host Greg Hill expresses deep frustration over the team's stagnant offense, particularly their overreliance on contested pull-up threes instead of attacking the basket, despite having elite talent like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. He criticizes head coach Joe Mazzulla for failing to make timely adjustments, especially in pick-and-roll defense and bench utilization, and highlights the lack of energy and urgency from the starters. Hill also praises Gary Washburn’s critical analysis of Mazzulla’s stubbornness and argues that while analytics serve the Celtics well in the regular season, playoff success demands a more intuitive, aggressive approach. Despite the bleak outlook, Hill remains hopeful for a Game 7 redemption, emphasizing the need for the Celtics to return to fundamentals, unleash their bench, and stop relying on inefficient shot selection.
