Me too b/c it’s so painful to watch, but still feel C’s should win this game.

All of a sudden LeBron James is a bad free throw shooter

He's been bad all season

The PEDs might've worn off

We're 15 for 21 on non-3 point shots.  How about more of them?

Jonathan Williams having a career night against the Celtics. Of course.

There you go, Hayward! Get to the hole!

In the few minutes that I have been watching the game, Gordon has looked pretty good.

[Surferdad]

LBJ still injured.

[footey]

Defense solid. Need more ball movement on offense.

[gpap]

Why is Hayward suddenly missing free throws? And there's the turnover prone Rondo I know

[SCeltic34]

Error in my previous calculation.  But now we're 16 for 22 on 2-point shots.  Just 3 for 15 from 3.  Keep attacking

Imagine paying to go to this game? This is what these players don’t think about. Shrink the season already.

Convinced Stevens is part of the problem. If guys keep launching 3s, that's a coaching issue.

It becomes a coaching issue if the Celts have a big man who can score inside and the Celts still keep jacking up 3s.

Right almost all these Celtic players are 3-point shooters.

Guys like Horford and Morris don't have the size to post up their defenders.

You realize that you don't have to "post-up" to the rim, right?

The only real slasher on this team, other than Kyrie, is Jaylen Brown.

Huh? Beyond Kyrie and Jaylen, Tatum, Hayward, and Rozier all are more than capable of getting to the hole on virtually every defender. The problem is both Tatum and Rozier, especially the former, have developed bad habits of taking the lazy route and throwing up the contested jumper rather than getting to the hole.

What's more, the coaching staff doesn't further force the issue and make these guys get to the hole.

[jpotter33]

Serious question - does Morris ever pass anymore, or does he literally iso every single time that he touches the ball?

Burned in pick and roll again al didn’t switch
