All good, a loss will bring them down to earth.

Tatum went 5-18 from 3pt.  Brown was 1-11. Ridiculous

Bad shooting nights happen..

And we still lose by a whisker in OT.

It happens but only thing concerns me is lack of bench scoring and need more of Big Q
C/PF-Horford, Baynes, Noel, Theis, Morris,
SF/SG- Tatum, Brown, Hayward, Smart, Semi, Clark
PG- Irving, Rozier, Larkin

I am not going to try to put lipstick on this pig of a game.  They played poorly as a team and the stars played poorly as individuals.  They showed some fight to get back into it but then really didn't play well in the OT.  Calling it like I see it.

I recognize that teams and players are going to have bad games, I still like the team and the players but I don't like the inconsistency.  Inconsistency is going to be part of the equation if you take a lot of 3s but the Celtics should play better than this, even on a Wednesday night on the road.

Right, but maybe get to the rim and try to draw a foul. Taking some FTs can help a player get their shot back vs continuing to chuck and going a combined 6-29.

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.

Watched the end of the game. Celtics played maybe a quarter and a half of good, hard basketball and could have won.

First half sounded like it was terrible. Learn from it and move on.

I can finally post after like 3 weeks. That game was annoying, just a little effort and Defense and see what happens. Queta was a beast though.

Considering they did win 12 of their last 14 games meaningful games, esp a nail biter in OT on the road.

But what's with the scheduling..feel like the C's been playing a lot of road games to start their year. We have a b2b at Charlotte upcoming too

I think people are sleeping on Indiana a bit. I still view NY and PHI as the bigger threats in the East, but for PHI especially a lot comes down to health (if PG13 and/or Embiid are out, then no chance) and Indiana did play us the toughest out of the teams we faced in last year's postseason. Their defense is still bad but they have the kind of offense to give us trouble and potentially outscore us here or there.

That said, I also think it's a good sign that despite all that, BOS still went on a ferocious run late and forced OT on the road in a game they had no business of being in late.
