Watching for now. What happened to Baynes?
Who are the ABC TV announcers? They're weak.
Not a good sign when Byrne has taken way more shots than Tatum🤨
Jaylen's D has been horrible. Both Beal and Porter are killing him going around picks.
EDIT: And, man, Kyrie is just providing no resistance to Wall's first step at all. He's got to get better at that.

It's a flaw intrinsic to the C's switching D scheme. It happens every game numerous times and not just JB.

Yep, Marcus Smart was the victim right there.
No shots for Tatum during that stretch lol
That quarter could not end fast enough. Holy crap that was terrible.
No shots for Tatum during that stretch lol
Smart weak on ofefnse and defense so far
No shots for Tatum during that stretch lol

And only one for Al, yet Baynes, Smart, and Rozier are a combined 1-8.

Tatum moving his feet instead of remaining stationary, gets the ball for an easy bunny. Imagine that. :o
Jeez Rozier got BUNNIESIs that supposed to mean he can jump?

I agree that Tatum needs to do more moving off of the ball, but Brad also has to do a better job of featuring him in the offense and running plays for him, especially with the bench lineups. He admitted as much last game and stated his plan was to start upping his offensive load as the season goes on.
But given Tatum's game that has long been predicated on isolation offense, this should be a focus on his development this year.
Jeez Rozier got BUNNIESIs that supposed to mean he can jump?
Brown bricks both free throws. Lol
Smart, Brown, Tatum are not playin well
Smart, Brown, Tatum are not playin well
Other than his free throw, Jaylen's playing all right. D's been solid, just missing 3s he normally makes. Going to the hole.
Hmm, Tatum 4-4 once he actually started moving his feet.
Smart, Brown, Tatum are not playin well
Other than his free throw, Jaylen's playing all right. D's been solid, just missing 3s he normally makes. Going to the hole.
His D is certainly not solid. He cannot stay in front of his man.

Who's winning the rebounding battle?
Amazing that we're only down three with how pitiful we've played.
Just got in. The thread seems quiet. Only 7 page so far?

Celtics are 28-23

It's X-Mas. Only die-hard C's fans post. :D
Giving up too many uncontested layups. And we're not hitting open shots.
We can win this game!
Screen Assists are a stat?
Terrible. Our defense is just lightyears away from where it was at the beginning of the season. Not nearly the energy out on the perimeter that we started the year with.
So, that's a foul on Brown at our end, but when Gortat gives just as much contact on Al at the other end it's a play-on? Non-sense.Just came here to say the exact thing. I just don't know what to say any more
Glad KI has it going but the Wizard are scoring at will here.
HOW THE HELL IS THAT NOT A FOUL FOR BROWN??
Glad KI has it going but the Wizard are scoring at will here.
True...because Gortat has been killing the C's with the screen n roll game. Opens up the lane for guys like Wall and Beal.
Eh, that was a good call on the charge, but I'm glad Al made him feel it.
Eh, that was a good call on the charge, but I'm glad Al made him feel it.
It was more Wall landing on him with a knee but I agree. If they step up to take the charge, make them feel it. Wears them down. Less willing to hang in there next time.
Somehow we have more rebounds , doesn’t feel that way.
Can we have like a "designated free throw shooter" for Brown? Hell, Theis will do just fine for that role. He's a much better free throw shooter than Brown.
Game really has no business being this close. Be happy about that I guess.

KI isn't the problem defensively tonight or any other night. It's the scheme. As I mentioned earlier, he got caught downlow in the paint having to guard Drummond 3 times in 1 game. It occurs game in, game out, just change the guard having the other teams' big. Sheesh.
Tonight, it's been hard picks set by Gortat et al that are killing the C's.

Tatum!

The Truth
Love CBS, but lately his substitutions have been shady at best.
Maybe is the injuries, maybe a minutes restriction philosophy...not sure.
Benching hot hands, riding ineffective combinations for too long.
Not your usual Brad Stevens rock solid coaching.
I'm loving Tatum!i'm lovin it

Totally disagree. I love the fact that there are two starters who can score on the second unit right now. Thats all anyone's been asking for. To stagger offensive players. All three second half units so far are absolutely making sense. Now if Marcus and terry could understand that they are to ply off of Jaylen and Jayson....

Yeah, Brad might've helped to kill that run a bit, but it's definitely worth it to help supplement the bench unit with starters. We've all been begging for that to consistently happen all season long.
OMG WHAT A COMMERCIAL
These offensive boards leading to second-chance points are killing us!
How the hell does Oubre get that open from the corner?
Best D I've ever seen Kyrie play there, and... too small
God, these refs are atrocious. Beal blatantly lowers his shoulder and it's a blocking foul.
As soon as Kyrie came in the game they went on a run js

Ki is 6'3" and Wall is 6"4.
It was just a great (or lucky) shot. Pointed out KI's D for all the KI detractors.

Smart was still movng and wasn't even directly in front of him. The refs have made some questionable calls but that was the right one.

I know I'm probably in the minority here but I'm not a fan of baynes at all.. he just doesn't do anything on offense and defensively hasn't been that great lately. Hoping he can get better but those no look hook shots every game are pretty horrible to watch

I get it, his brand is awesome. The movie will probably gross a lot. He is absolutely an incredible offensive talent. But he's super limited -- literally sucks at half the game that's played.

We're a .500 team at this point. We're only 8-6 in December and 5-6 in our last 11 games, which includes a lot of bad losses.The defense, bench, and rebounding have been the biggest problems. The bench was actually good today, but the rebounding and defense late, have been horrible.

i like him and can still admit he didn't play great. every game is different
you talk down to people who support him as if they can't understand basketball
it's absolutely fine if you can't appreciate him on a daily basis, but if you're surprised that people call you out on your blind hatred then i don't know what to tell you
This. Love ya, Tarheels, but the trolling/blind Kyrie hate is starting to reach LarBrd33 levels of annoyance.
..
but man he was the most annoying poster of all time, hahaa
I'm sorry you guys feel that way. But jpotter, you were incessantly hating on IT. Every game, without fail.
LarBrd was also one of the best posters of all time. He literally goes viral on Reddit.
I get that it's difficult to accept he isn't the savior. But again, no team is winning a championship with Irving as their best player.

hero ball, hero ball? seriously. KI had the layup that just barely rolled off the rim. that just after draining a long 3. ::)
He's a -13. We are hiding him on Oubre, and Oubre keeps scoring. He has sucked,. But hey, 20 pts
Since when are the C's hiding KI on D? He's been at the top of the defense guarding Beal or Wall.
he has an agenda
I realize that having seen some of his posts in other threads.
But when it's blatantly obvious during a game that he's not watching the same game everyone else is, that's when you destroy his credibility (assuming he has any).
I've watched every second of this game -- read thru the stupid thread. You literally just can't handle the objective truth, so you choose not to see it.
Where was he offensively at the end? Why is Tatum the guy we continually went to for buckets? He's a supertstar, MVP etc.
edit: Personal attack reported. Easier to see the game when u played D1.
You're incorrigible.
What personal attack? Your posts define "lack of credibility" based on an pre-existing agenda which precedes you by reputation. When you're wrong, you report people for "personal attacks" to vindicate yourself evej when shown to be wrong? And lose the condescending attitude.
He does this. I once just listed Kyrie's accolades and he labeled it a personal attack. Just do what another poster said, don't engage. Just report him when he's in game threads legit cheering on other teams.
I've never cheered on another team. He said I have a lack of credibility, which is a personal attack. Point out a single example.
I love how every one claims I'm 'wrong' or have 'no credibility', yet never provide examples. Then sling personal attacks and become upset when you're banned. It's just a teaming up process to try to embarrass me or something.
Nice, 12-3 run here. Let's go Memphis!!!

We're a .500 team at this point. We're only 8-6 in December and 5-6 in our last 11 games, which includes a lot of bad losses.The defense, bench, and rebounding have been the biggest problems. The bench was actually good today, but the defense and rebounding were still horrible. Hope they can figure it out.
The rebounding problem has been glaring. It's tough when the team gets a good stop and then can't secure the rebound.

There literally is not. Read my comment above. It was sarcasm out of frustration because we were playing like crap. Go find more -- there should be plenty, if this is what I do.
In fact, go along with RJ and dig up all of my posts from that thread.
I've probably made 1,000 posts in game threads cheering for the Celtics. You guys need to grow up. If you don't like my comments, ignore me. But quit the personal attacks -- in threads and PMs (wayupnorth). I'm tired of it.
This one is done. Sorry Kyrie was horrible defensively and failed to show up in the 4th quarter. Those clutch stats took a hit tonight. Tatum looks promising as a go-to option though, and we have the assets to eventually land a two-way superstar.
Imagine ratting someone out for a personal attack, that's precious LOL.

Okay. I will create a thread tomorrow. It will be entirely for your benefit. I will timestamp every single possession that Kyrie was beat or responsible for points tonight. I've literally been accurate in every single post I've made this thread. Again, I am sorry. But who cares??? We weren't contending this year anyway. It's not that big of a deal. And his movie will probably be awesome. There's lots of NBA players in it, I think.
There are a few people on this blog (someone other than tarheels is the main culprit) who think their opinions carry more weight because they played college or pro ball or played for a certain coach whose name we recognize. That stuff is ridiculous and irrelevant........ Guys like Lawrence Frank, Greg Popovich, and Erik Spoelstra didn’t.
Popovich was born in East Chicago, Indiana on January 28, 1949, to a Serb father and Croat mother.[4] He started his basketball career playing Biddy Basketball and was on the 1960 Gary Biddy Basketball All-Star Team which finished third in the World Tournament, held at Gary's Memorial Auditorium. He attended Merrillville High School and graduated in 1970 from the United States Air Force Academy. He played basketball for four seasons at the Academy and in his senior year was the team captain and the leading score
Born in Evanston, Illinois, Spoelstra later spent his childhood in Buffalo, New York then Portland, Oregon by the late 1970s.[5][6] Spoelstra attended Jesuit High School in Beaverton, Oregon, where he excelled at point guard on the basketball team.[5] He wore number 30 during high school and later in college in honor of then Trail Blazer Terry Porter, one of his favorite NBA players.[7] Before his senior year, Spoelstra participated in Sonny Vaccaro's Nike All-Star camp in Princeton, New Jersey alongside future NBA players Alonzo Mourning, Shawn Kemp, Billy Owens, and Bobby Hurley.

Almost impossible to do, yet we did it.
Morris was just awful last night. After the first couple minutes he should have sat for the rest of the game. It's almost like he was playing for the other team. Guess he wanted his brother to win more than himself.

Again, maybe your argument would be taken more seriously if you weren't simultaneously butthurt over losing IT, who is objectively an even worse defender. Until you can remedy this contradiction outside of IT "making you feel like a little boy again," your arguments are null, meaningless, and pretty clearly rooted in a strong anti-Kyrie bias.

And his movie will probably be awesome. There's lots of NBA players in it, I think.
Hold on there, pardner, you're changing the playing field in a further attempt to rationalize your agenda (more below). This is what you wrote taken verbatim:
"I'll rewatch the game and give you timestamps for all the possessions he was hidden on Oubre. I get it... his brand is super cool. But you guys need to open yuor eyes if you want to effectively argue this stuff."
Put up or shut up if you can't find evidence that KI was hidden on Oubre (which is what the C's had to do all year long last year with IT especially in last year's playoffs) in tonight's game.
Additionally, why do you continually harp on KI"s "brand" or making a movie. what does that have to do with his play tonight (or any other night for that matter). Why does that matter to you. Do you make similar snide remarks directed at other NBA stars when they make commercials? If not, why not?
The point is that your overweening hatred of all things KI in favor of your boy, IT who is long gone (get over it), colors your perceptions during games making them unworthy of credibility notwithstanding your appeals to yourself as an authority (claiming you played D1 collegiate B ball). Since it matters to you beuilding up your self esteem, were you a starter or an end-of-the-bench towel waver living off your high school press clippings?
In any case, I await with bated breath for not just timestamped instances demonstratively showing KI singled on Oubre to "hide him" (on defense) but actual gifs or clips taken from tonight's game showing that to be the case.
don't engageOfficially on the “Kyrie plays hero ball down the stretch and it hurts us” train
hero ball, hero ball? seriously. KI had the layup that just barely rolled off the rim. that just after draining a long 3. ::)
He's a -13. We are hiding him on Oubre, and Oubre keeps scoring. He has sucked,. But hey, 20 pts
Since when are the C's hiding KI on D? He's been at the top of the defense guarding Beal or Wall.
he has an agenda
I realize that having seen some of his posts in other threads.
But when it's blatantly obvious during a game that he's not watching the same game everyone else is, that's when you destroy his credibility (assuming he has any).
I've watched every second of this game -- read thru the stupid thread. You literally just can't handle the objective truth, so you choose not to see it.
Where was he offensively at the end? Why is Tatum the guy we continually went to for buckets? He's a supertstar, MVP etc.

When you're wrong, you resort to reporting people for "personal attacks" to vindicate yourself even when shown to be biased and flat out wrong.

I decided against it -- you can watch the game for yourself, assuming you're a big boy. He was clearly hidden on Oubre because he's a horrible defender.
A quicker way for you to get a sense of Kyrie's defense is to simply Google it -- you'll get tons of results right up until this summer. He drove CLE fans nuts.

You say it as though being a snitch (the very antithesis of having character) is something be proud about. You continue to stir the post and then get all defensive when people call you out. If you can't take people calling you out, then stop being an instigator. You can't have it both ways. I'm sure the mods have better things to do then deal with your petulant crying about these perceived "personal attacks".
This one is done. Sorry Kyrie was horrible defensively and failed to show up in the 4th quarter. Those clutch stats took a hit tonight. Tatum looks promising as a go-to option though, and we have the assets to eventually land a two-way superstar.
Again, maybe your argument would be taken more seriously if you weren't simultaneously butthurt over losing IT, who is objectively an even worse defender. Until you can remedy this contradiction outside of IT "making you feel like a little boy again," your arguments are null, meaningless, and pretty clearly rooted in a strong anti-Kyrie bias.
That's not a personal attack at all.
You whined about IT in every single game thread for 2 years. How many times did I call you on it? Never. Why not, tarheels? Because I couldn't care less what you thought of one player -- one of my favorite players to ever wear green, to boot. We still had solid exchanges, and frankly, that was your prerogative. You're blatantly insulting me here. I don't care if nameless, 17 year old boys sling insults at me, but I expected more from you.

Well, if someone is truly being attacked, they have a right to report it. Bragging about reporting it is rather odd, though. And I don't see the benefit of telling people you're reporting them, that seems like nothing more than adding fuel to the fire.
But as far as I can tell, this person isn't really being attacked. For the most part it's just people pointing out trollish behavior. If you're going to troll people just don't be surprised when they call you out on it.

Lol Tarheels, buddy, you need to relax with this personal attack stuff. I’m in no way personally attacking you or blatantly insulting you; I’m calling out on your faulty logic, which you have yet to address and are conveniently ignoring. That’s completely different than personally attacking you. I’m not sure why you’re on a sports thread if you both (a) can’t take personal attacks in the first place, and (b) consider someone stating that you’re utilizing faulty logic a personal attack. That is non-sense, snowflake-level stuff, which I know you’re not.
And regarding the IT stuff, yeah, I criticized him a lot, but I also gave him his fair props when he deserved it and actively rooted for him as a Celtic. You’ve went way beyond the types of criticism that I gave IT into the territory of an irrational bias against Kyrie.
EDIT: Hell, you just stated above that you hope IT and Cleveland beat us in the playoffs. As much as I disliked IT’s game, I never once rooted against him as a Celtic. That’s a whole other level of hate.

There are several clear insults there. If you don't want to receive them, don't make them. For as many times as I've disagreed with your perspective, I haven't laughed at you or called your points void, meaningless, etc.
1. What is the faulty logic? What contradiction do I need to remedy?
I'll try to help: I've repeatedly stated that I believe IT is a worse defender than Kyrie, if that's what you're alluding to. I've also made very specific statements about what Kyrie has done well and brought to the Celtics. I literally can't see what else there could be... but, I wouldn't label your post "meaningless," just out of respect.
2. I can't take personal attacks? I repeatedly take them, and I have yet to stoop to that level. The point is, I don't need to -- they violate forum rules. Trust that I can dish them out with the very best of them yet refrain despite there being little to no repercussions.
So it’s a left leg injury apparently. Oh man, Danny really needs to get some help soon.
Same leg as his recent Achilles injury?
Yup, same leg. Hopefully it’s nothing major.
I was relieved when you said right leg, but man now it's very concerning.
This leads me to question our new medical staff. Between Morris' recurring knee soreness and now a potential injury to Brown's leg, I've quickly lost faith in the injury management of our medical team - from the outside looking in, anyway.
Eh. Hard to make any judgements on Jaylen's injury without knowing more. As far as Morris, his knee's structurally sound from all reports. I believe they've managed it well.
You believe? That's comforting. Please state your highest level of basketball played, medical knowledge and/or experience, and what resources you have in mom's basement to continue to grow in this regard.
Talk about personal attacks! ;)
I'm glad to see a response. This post was made on the heels of RJ's statement last night that I have no credibility -- a clear personal attack. Here, I am asking questions that may give others an idea of his credibility, while not explicitly stating he has none. If his comment is not a violation of forum rules, that mine absolutely cannot be considered one. Further, if his is not, I am free to move well beyond simply asking questions.
Thanks for your post.

"Shut up," "End of bench towel waiver," etc. Those are clear personal attacks. Giving someone fair warning that they are being reported is a generosity, not a "brag." Making statements about a player's deficiencies are what posters do every single day. I am sorry if you feel offended, but it doesn't give others the right to openly insult me, nor you the right to encourage them here and elsewhere. Grow up.
