Spurs (42-31) at Celtics (43-29) Game #74 3/24/19

I think if I went out on the court right now, at my age, I could go better than 4 for 31 from three.

Well, no, not in a game with a defender on me but I'm 54 and not a professional athlete so that evens things out.

Ahh, coming in late, but looks like same old, same old, huh? Just highlighting some more of that masterful Brad Stevens gameplan of chucking jumper after jumper due to being too timid to hold his guys accountable and instill some discipline and character in this team.

you seem to be of the opinion that shooting volumes of 3's is against Brad's gameplan. I don't think that's the case thus the lack of effort by the coaching staff to stem the tide of 3's.

Oh, I definitely think his gameplan is centered on the three point shot, but he seems incapable of qualitatively judging the difference between good threes and bad threes. That, or he’s just incapable of getting his guys to recognize the difference, either way being bad.

Spurs giving a lesson to the Cs on how to keep a 15 point lead with 9 min to go and sustain it.

Pop truly is a visionary. The metrics say that teams should only take 3 pointers and lay-ups, so what does he do? He sets up an offense where his players get open shots all day long because teams have stopped guarding the mid-range. Once those shots start dropping (and they should - they are easy shots), it opens up those 3-pointers and lay-ups.

Pop exposes all

Could someone please tell me why when the team is shooting extremely bad from 3 point range that the Coach doesn't tell them to move in and take better percentage shot. 2 points is much better 0 points when the shots aren't going in ! 6 minutes left in the game against the Spurs and they are 3 for 32 ! 12.5 percent ! Coach Stevens wake up ! ! !

yup, he sees the obvious and goes with it.  why turn down an easier 2 point shot that goes unguarded and is made at a higher rate for a more difficult 3 point shot that will have a defender closing out on the shooter.   I'll take an easy 2 over a bricked 3 any day

yup. it is clled ADJUSTMENTS

somethimg brad boy knows nothing about or so it seems

how can you let a team chuck crap like this all year and parts of previous years?

[Vox_Populi]

Are they tanking?

[gunrock210]

It would be nice to get a good shooter in the offseason. Also a serviceable big

[SCeltic34]

Let's keep leaving Bertans open.

The Spurs are showing us what a well-coached team looks like.

We are the polar opposite of the Spurs.

OUCH

[CF033]

Don't worry guys, we're going to flip to switch when the playoffs roll around...

Yea

[blink]

We get exposed a lot lately.  This game isn't as disappointing as the Hornets loss, because that game we actually competed.  I don't know that we were ever in this game.  We look tired and uninterested.  Just like me when I watch the C's lately.   Man I hope this isn't how we go out in the playoffs.

What’s worse , Stevens encouraging the team to keep shooting 3s or him playing Rozier after him sucking almost the entire season ?
