Just getting killed on the boards

9 offensive rebounds for Atlanta

Really disjointed and gross first half

[jpotter33]

Absolutely atrocious effort on the boards yet again.

[SCeltic34]

Celtics playing like crap on both ends and still up 4.  I'll take it.

[celticinorlando]

Let me see… Atlanta lived off offensive rebounds and Celtics turnover the other night.

Same thing again

and we have a guys whos 7-3 please give Queta some burn.

Porzingis has been terrible this quarter.  Needs to play with a lot more force.

hes soft.

[Atzar]

Frustrating half in a lot of ways.

I don't care what Murray is doing (19 points on 8-19 does not concern me) but we're getting shredded on the glass.  Fix that.  I feel like we've sucked at boxing out for ten years now, even when we're statistically a good rebounding team (like this year).

Why is Scal on the halftime show…

We'll see if our coaches and players are able to fix it.  Can't use a missing Horford as an excuse.  Zinger has a decent stat line, but he's been terrible battling down low in creating defensive resistance.  He's obviously never going to be known as a physically imposing player, but he can do better than that.  And we're going to need him to in the playoffs.

I believe Queta is only eligible for 3 more games. Does this game count as one of his 50 if he's DNP?

Bogey made KP look like a very tall turnstile out there

[SCeltic34]

Embarrassing defense.  No resistance.

[jpotter33]

We just don't look engaged on the boards at all. Even that Brown offensive rebound it just fell in our lap, with everyone else just standing around.

[Atzar]

How does nobody warn KP that Murray is coming up behind him there?  We could see it coming five seconds before it happened. 

I've begrudgingly accepted that KP's court vision sucks, so at least help him out.

They just haven’t learned with Hunter
