Celtics (25-10) at 76ers (24-14) Game #36 1/9/20

[blink]

Just burns me how the C’s make Simmons into a superstar.

oh man me too.  Because we mostly have Hayward guarding Simmons it makes it seem like Simmons is some superstar.

I'm not a fan of the "Let's stick our head up our asses" strategy the Celtics have seemed to deploy over these last several games.

What do you guys think?

Key players are sucking. I blame them.

Celtics are trash right now. Luckily we pulled out those two wins over ATL and CHI. That's about the level we are playing at lately.

Not sure how to fix their problems. Bad isos, bad defense, bad passing, lazy rotations. It's all bad. Tatum and Brown look like rookies again. Actually, strike that - I wish Tatum looked like rookie Tatum.

[Ogaju]

We need bigs

BB is a big man's game.

Ugh, this is the hardest loss of the season to swallow.

i’ve said the same thing three games in a row.

[CelticSooner]

All 3 wings are playing like trash right now.

[Tr1boy]

Blame Danny for not balancing the lineup... again

Team is so congested at the wing

Opposing teams attacking the Celts near the paint and having their way

That bum Simmons just doing whatever near the paint

[Kuberski33]

When you see certain players smiling after a crap effort like this, you get the feeling that it matters a lot more to us than to them.

[blink]

Just a sickening loss.  Too much handshaking and hugs after this game.  They kicked our butts, stop being so lovey dovey with them.

I'm not a fan of the "Let's stick our head up our asses" strategy the Celtics have seemed to deploy over these last several games.

What do you guys think?

--Hayward doesn't step up in key spots.
--Brown and Tatum revert way too quickly to iso ball and aren't great facilitators.
--Stevens seems to have not pinpointed key areas of growth he wants to see, and therefore we haven't improved nearly as much as we should have throughout the season.

[PhoSita]

Brain: 25-11 is a really good record and the Celts are still top ten in efficiency on both ends.

Heart: Ugh when was the last time the Celts were fun why are they struggling maybe they were never really actually good and now it's going to be disappointing to follow them again.

Celtics looked tased in the second half

[Ogaju]

WE need to get a BIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t understand why a team with this much offensive talent just shuts down like this.  It should be near-impossible to hold them under 100.  It just doesn’t seem like they make the game any easier for each other.
