Celtics (3-2) at Pistons (0-4) Game #6 1/1/21

[radiohead]

These JT step back fadeaways to end quarters are really getting to be very predictable.

[Atzar]

Well our offense woke up in that second quarter but the Pistons are still hitting shots and we're still in a hole.  At some point we'll have to start protecting the paint and getting stops if we're going to get back in the game.

I called my shot though:  I still think we find a way.

It’s too easy for them to get to the rim

Yeah, it’s too bad we don’t have an Uber athletic, shot blocker on t he bench.

We do, it's just that he can't guard his own shadow when he's more than six feet from the rim.

I’m not seeing anyone playing better interior defense out there.

[Indocelts]

Still can't trust JT with end of quarter last shot.
Wish Bird were still here.

are we playing pistons or is it Lakers in Detroit jerseys

Tatum is massive. It is so strange to me how softly he goes to the basket.

[slamtheking]

well that was an absolute mess of a half.  right up there with that second half meltdown against the Nets.

Let JT take the final shot

Tatum looks overwhelmed

You've probably heard this before, but Larry Bird is not walking through that door...

Lacks explosiveness/verticality

[Who]

Does Teague play better when the team plays worse?
And worse when the team plays better?

You really think Tatum is massive? He is skinny.

[PAOBoston]

Maybe since they played soooo poorly in the first, they’ll actually play well in the 3rd?

I can hope.

Actually when he was skinny in his rookie season. He was much quicker than he is now

His bulk has helped him rebound better. But has hurt his ability to run around screens and beat his man to the basket
