Not watching till later. What’s the deal with Hayward?

Not aggressive on offense. He is working hard but passing up shots

[Atzar]

Starting unit cutting them up right now. 

[jpotter33]

Kyrie!

Kyrie and Smart are so complementary of each other. Such a perfect pairing.

[Chief]

Smart is so good.

[SCeltic34]

Smart's passing has been awesome!

[Neurotic Guy]

Well Terry was 1-3 with 1 Turnover, 3 Boards and an Assist and a -4 in 7 minutes.  He looked pretty bad, but I'm not really sure that his  play is costing the C's to the extent expressed here.

[celticinorlando]

Boston has nobody on defense to match George. Pretty decent defense but he killing them.

OKC defense is terrible.

[Neurotic Guy]

Starters and Brown playing really well offensively in that half.   Hope C's can close it out -- show something different today, close it out against a good team in the 3rd.

[Roy H.]

Nice final three minutes. Took it from +1 to +8.

[coco]

Our defense sucks and we are up by 10.  Our team has so
much potential

[celticinorlando]

1. Really miss Baynes tonight on Adams.

2. Going to have to hope George goes cold.

3. Cs need to attack the basket. OKC has no defense for guys going to the rim.

4. Second unit has to do something.

5. Hayward's trend of disappearing on offense vs elite teams continues. He has to give them something.

I agree with all points. George is the one that worries me.

Would be up 20 if we didn’t pair Rozzier with Hayward in that godaweful 2nd unit

[tstorey_97]

These OKC guys are thoroughly beatable today....it will have to be through defense. OKC is over passing and taking a high % of bad shots.

OKC does not have a lot of answers so far. Keep hammering them on D....they don't like it.

Defense in the half court has been pretty good. Adams has gotten some put back but Boston has nobody that can defend him.

George is killing them. Boston defense on him hasn't been bad...he is just making everything.
