Celtic could actually use a more than "just" a Center. A nice true backup PG would help and a wing scorer for the second unit.

I don’t get all the criticism of Smart taking 3’s. They were wide open and unlike his teammates he actually hit a few. Quickness of their guards is killing us.

When your point guard only has one assist, it's a problem....

Not watching, and from what I can read here seems like a good thing. Hopefully we can pick it up in the second half.

TP!

Yeah, but it’s not just Smart it’s the whole team. All iso ball and quick shots. They’re looking at a new season low in assists.

We need to post up their guards more. Take advantage.

Everybody is bad tonight. Playing lazy bad basketball, esp on offense.

You're right it's not just Smart but he is "The Point Guard"...

Terrible and uninspiring half of basketball.

Get the ball in Hayward’s hands as the distributor and a paint scorer.

I don't like the trend of starting poorly, letting teams get out to leads, and then fighting back in the 2nd half.  It makes me think they are getting cocky/complacent -- think they can turn it on when they need to.  Not a healthy mindset IMO even if they are able to get away with against worse competition.

Great play by Theis there, but I don't like him bringing it up the court. He should be looking to pass there
