Maybe, just maybe, stop shooting the threes.

Hah! Good idea.  They’ve missed badly.  I guess at some point that has to change.  Give me 15 tries and even  I could hit one - I think.

Lots of scoreboard errors so far this season.

That we are still in this game without hitting a three and everyone other than Jaylen and Josh absolutely sucking at shooting the ball is a miracle.

Hoping that turns around in the 2nd half and Boston pulls it out

I actually like the effort being given, it's just most of the team couldn't hit water if in a boat.

Defense leading to offense. How our teams since Brad have always thrived.

Kuzma has more freethrows than the Celtics.

If you could put any one current NBA player on this team, for me it’d have to be Jokic.

He would almost solve every issue plaguing this team.

His passing would encourage off-ball movement and force Tatum to stop wasting possessions.

With Williams III either playing centre or power forward on defence next to Jokic, they’d balance each other out quite nicely in my opinion.

Well I think you could put Jokic on any NBA team and see improvement. Right - MVP?

Haha that is true (redundant statement much).

I just think his particular skill set is perfect fit for this Celtics team.

It wouldn’t surprise me if the offensive burden put on Smart, Brown, Tatum has affected their defensive focus. All three are being asked to do more on offence then they are currently capable of effectively achieving.

With Jokic co-ordinating the offence, Smart could start at point guard and focus all his energy on hitting catch and shoot three’s and shutting down players on the defensive end.

Good finish by Boston, though of course Montrez banks that in  ::)

Nice effort, Jaylen...

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

The c's can't hit a single three pointer that half but Harrel banks it in from halfcourt.

The basketball gods hate the c's.

That Jaylen and Jayson are the 2 man lineup with the sixth highest minutes per game total for this team is an issue. That duo should lead this team in  per minute 2-man lineups

Very fitting it’s halloween weekend because Schroder seems like one of the most trick or treat players in the NBA.

C’s can’t seem to get a lead. Get down to 3 or 4, get cold.  Or, someone hits a half court buzzer beater.

Maybe the 3 will fall in 2nd half.   

Jaylen’s been terrific.
