Celtics (45-31) at Nets (38-37) Game #77 3/31/19

in the 1 min since I’ve started watching Terry has thrown up an air ball, failed to fight through a screen to get burned by a DLo 3 and then missed a 3

Those are his highlights....

Just tuned in.  Nice to see Rozier putting together another solid game as a starter.

Oh wait.

Wanamaker has been easily better

[liam]

PLease Brad, bring back Wannamaker....

At this point, is there really a reason not to let Hayward and Brown run loose this half? This feels like the perfect opportunity for that. They will be important for the playoffs and they need more minutes IMO.

Pounded in transition after not getting back quickly enough after a miss

I love how the best offensive player in white doesn’t shoot lol

[Phantom255x]

Last year's team showed hustle on BOTH ends of the court, even in transition.

This year's team will miss a shot and then just get burned on the other end easily 

That has nothing to do with talent, it's all about effort which is lacking.

Morris and Rozier are 2-11, yet both are still in the game and still shooting....

Of all the read flags this season, one I put a lot of stock in (and thus worries me a ton) is how often this team comes out flat in the 3rd quarter. I'll never forget how often the '08 team put games away in the 3rd by coming out focused and energized. It's worrisome that, given a break to regroup, the other team often comes out stronger.

Brad needs to wait another 1:27 for Gordon and 2:12 for Brown to come back in I think

Make some subs Brad.  This lineup is not working.

Celtics unraveling in the 3rd

Was always going to be tough without Kyrie and Horford. We're very well in it but you get the feeling if Brooklyn starts this quarter off well we'll have trouble clawing back without those two.

Exactly, so why are we playing without both of them? Irving just had the other night in Cleveland off, and he's been healthy. Al I can maybe see, but he just missed two games for rest in the last week.

While it is a back to back, it's against a hungry Nets team fighting for the playoffs in Brooklyn. It makes no sense to sit both of them whenever we are neck and neck fighting for homecourt advantage. We'll play Washington on the last night of the season who is out of the playoff race, which can be an easy rest night for them.

Just a dumb decision by Brad, especially if Indy ends up winning tonight.
