Celtics 27-12 at Bucks (35-6) Game #40 1/16/20

[Ogaju]

Cs are the worst 3 point defending team in the league because they have to gang rebound inside.

I wonder if this is actually true.  I’d guess not.

which part?

[blink]

Still not a great effort overall, but I have liked the fight in our team a lot more in the 2nd half.
Not the deer in the headlights feeling that was going on in the 1st half.

Actually we’re 8th, though after tonight we’ll probably fall...

8th best or worst?

I still feel like we can hang against a team like the Bucks. But we literally need our team to be 100% healthy and for guys like Hayward to NOT have nights like these. Otherwise, Bucks should beat us easily in a series again

which part?

The first part. You can pretty easily find out by looking at their OPP 3P% & amount of threes allowed per game

[tstorey_97]

Isn't there a rule against attempting 45 threes in a game?

[Mahk E Mahk]

More 3s! More 3s!

45 attempts so far. madness.

[SDceltGuy]

No problem with the shot selection, but it would be nice to have guys make open shots

[Sophomore]

Divincenzos 19 pts off the bench has killed us

Imagine if we had that kind of bench production!

Be great. Though DD is having a career night. He’s at 32% on the year, 28.6% his last ten. Tonight? 80%.

[blink]

Bucks bench now 9/11 from 3. It certainly seems like at times we get the best 3 point shooting that other teams can muster.

I am more interested in the latter part

And my steam is dead ...-argh

[Ogaju]

Cs three point defense is ATROCIOUS. They give up more wide open threes than any other team in the league.
