Celtics (21-21) at 76ers (23-17) Game #43 1/14/22

4 turnovers from Tatum and 2 turnovers from Brown in the 1st is absolutely the opposite of what we need.

Holy crap. Saw Tatum have some but 4?! Inexcusable from our stars. This is where Ime’s toughness should be showing on the sideline - ripping this effort.

Hiya all ye gluttons for punishment!

Hi.

[blink]

it isn't even that we are down 20 and getting spanked....
it is how it went down.  we give away 8 turnovers in 1 quarter, play bad def, and we can't move the ball or our bodies on offense. 

was that the worst 1st quarter of the season?  yes

Time for the C’s to make up for one of the 20 point leads that they’ve blown this season.

[jpotter33]

Ugh, Kanter is virtually unplayable with his lack of mobility and awful D.

[liam]

Just layup after layup....

[Neurotic Guy]

Trying to tighten up on D -- 3 layups in a row.

Come ON grant williams that is terrible def two times in a row
first against Maxy, and then G Niang.  You are better than that dude.

A while back Draymond made the comment… paraphrasing… that “a lot of NBA players, even All Stars, don’t actually know how to play basketball.”  Can’t help but think of the Jays when I think of that quote.  Just feels like they have low BBIQ at times.  Vision, awareness, shot selection, creating advantages or covering for disadvantages. 

They’re very talented.  And I don’t question their effort or desire most nights.  But man, that mental side… sometimes I wonder.

Not to hate but this rings particularly true for JB on off-ball defense. JB is a tough-as-nails on-ball defender but he (and Nesmith) are one of the guys more prone to miss a rotation or miscomm

Nobody’s cutting!

[Celtics2021]

Romeo sighting!

[blink]

I like J Rich's toughness and spirit.  He seems po'd that we stink.
I like that

[liam]

[LilRip]

Nobody’s cutting!

That’s not in the game plan
