You had a layup, Teague. Where’s Pritchard ?

Brad is playing Teague over Pritchard and taking the ball out of Pritchard’s hands when he does play.

I hope this isn’t the team with Kemba back otherwise trade him

I don’t agree with making decisions on top players after half a game but call me crazy...

He is playing but has to cater to the vets today

No ball movement, so only gets 1 shot ?

[Ogaju]

Brad should tell his scrubs (anyone not named Jayson Jaylen or Kemba) when PMP is open, pass him the ball. In the same conversation he should tell PMP when you are open shoot unless Jayson Jaylen or Kemba is more open than you, then you can pass to them at your own discretion.

Too many turnovers is the whole game so far.

Yup. and 3 easy passes for Semi. But all misses

[Tr1boy]

Celts are falling for nonsense. This is on Brad

Celts need to play zone and make Knicks shoot the 3.

Randle, Robinson are useless 3 pt shooters. Barrett can get ice cold

[hpantazo]

Our offense just needs to adjust to having Kemba back.

TT was totally out of synch with Kemba's passes. Jaylen was too passive when Kemba was out there. It will come together.

Having Grant Williams and Semi trying to fill in for Tatum didn't help either.

[keevsnick]

Jaylen is 3-6 from three which means the rest of the team is 1-14.

The Celtics have 11 turnovers.

The Knicks have shot 12 FT's to the Celtics 6.

You can win if you shoot poorly, you can win if you turn it over, you can win if the other team shoots 2x as many FT's as you. You arent going to win if all three happen.

[Ogaju]

Its halftime where are all of your hot takes.

[apc]

It’s going to rain 3s in the 2nd.!

[Atzar]

Defensively we're playing okay.  They've gotten some buckets off of broken plays where they're just quicker to a loose ball than we are.  But they aren't getting much against our set defense.

Offensively we look like trash though.  Nobody has it going, and the frustrating part is that nobody deserves to have it going, either - poor shot selection, not nearly enough ball movement.  I don't often see this Celtics team get outmuscled, but it looks like the Knicks are playing aggressive and physical defensively and the Celtics just don't feel like accepting the challenge today. 

[Uncle_Stingfinger]

Teague and Thompson.  Barf, danny.  Both look like washed up scrubs. 

[PAOBoston]

Need to raise the aggressiveness and focus on limiting turnovers and offensive rebounds. Cs legit shots themselves in the foot a million times in the first half. One good quarter and this game is for the taking.
