Spurs (15-20) at Celtics (25-9) Game #35 1/8/20

[liam]

Where is the Celtics team i've been watching all year?

[Jiri Welsch]

I'm going to irrationally blame this game on Hayward. Who will you blame?

[Chief]

Javonte Green is the only Celtic with a positive +/-

[bopna]

Hayward is soft. He's pretty much been a complete non-factor since breaking his hand and coming back.

He has been pretty much back to his old 2018/19 self again, utter garbage with no self confidence.. Seems like he is just happy collecting his paychecks again.

[liam]

If The Celtics can't score at the beginning of games it might be time to change up who's starting.

Stevens.

[nickagneta]

C's getting dominated in the paint but not how you would think. They are getting killed inside by Murray, DeRozan, Gay and Walker just dominating their wing defenders by taking it to the hole and making shots. Aldridge and Poetlt isn't the reason for the Spurs inside offensive dominance.

I blame Brad. He needs to have his team start out better. You can't spot teams 20 points every night and think your going to win. Something needs to change.

Just tuning in:

What happened?

How did Tacko get 4 mins?

And how did he look in those 4 mins? (2nd best +/- on the team lol).

Same!!

Just shocking how bad we’ve been and how comfortable the spurs are.

They have figured things out

Pops is a perfectionist

Celts starting unit has holes. Especially underneath the basket.  When everyone tries to collapse and help the 3 pt shot in wide open

Instead of Theis a center like Robert Williams would an upgrade on D

offensively the D is guarding everyone 1.5 and leaving Theis alone.  Who is not a sure 3 pt shooter nor skilled passer

I don't know why also he tries so hard to grab offensive rebounds when he rarely grabs one on his own

But who starts and who goes to the bench?

I mean at the very least the (3) 20 ppg scorers need to start.  So who of DT and GH doesn't start, and who starts for them?

[blink]

DeRozan super aggressive just getting what ever he wanted.  We gotta make things tougher for him and the other wings.

[Sophomore]

The spurs are 25-35 from 2-point range - 71%!

A lot of those are jumpers. They’re just incredibly comfortable while we are incredibly tight.

I have no idea why they were force feeding Theis the ball in that 1st quarter. Does everyone have to touch the ball before we can shoot, is this Hoosiers?
