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

[blink]

I want the guys who complain about Smart taking bad hero-ball shots to comment on Tatum’s last two atrocious shots.

Yeah those were horrible.

Probably a broken record, but we need to get back to being that feisty team that plays tough def and is hard to guard because we move the ball.  Those things haven't been seen lately.

Well, I think Milwaukee's got this one in the bag.

[apc]

So I guess we are just letting opponents shot 60% now.
U start slow and the other teams get hot and forget about it.

[nickagneta]

One good possession and stop at a time but need to cut the lead in half by half.

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

5 straight quarters giving up over 60% from the field. Just terrible.

Yet some people say that has nothing to do with Boston's terrible defense—it's all been great shooting that "we can't do anything about."

[slamtheking]

yup, let's keep launching quick 3's.  that'll get us back into the game

[ETNCeltics]

I don't know what the issue is, but for whatever reason, the team just isn't responding to Brad Stevens, at all.

[BASS_THUMPER]

yup, let's keep launching quick 3's.  that'll get us back into the game

sure

if we make them

[Sophomore]

Agree with Brad’s statement that “we just have to play better”.

[Greenblood35]

At some point you just have to play with some pride. D is horrible and offense is pathetic.

[slamtheking]

yup, let's keep launching quick 3's.  that'll get us back into the game

rinse and repeat

There are games where I get reminded that the Celtics are just a combination of a lot of above average and good players.  I really don’t see a superstar out there.

We all know we don't have a superstar. We can contend but its important that all of our main guys are available and at least 3 of them dont have an off game. I would like to see the splits for when 2 of our top 4 guys have an off game vs one or none.

You are not contending for nothing without a superstar. The bucks are clear and away better than us. I thought we were a bit better than this, but we suck. Our offense is hard to watch and we have crap perimeter D. We have been talking about we need a big, but we been getting touched from 3 a lot.

Tbh I haven’t seen smart do much D this season. I saw an improvement in Tatum with his help D but 1 on 1 no one has stud out in that department.

It’s cool to not have a superstar but the Celtics just aren’t GREAT at anything. Like not one particular thing are we good at as a collective group. We have 3 players scoring 20ppg but we aren’t even top 10 in any offensive team stat, not even in points per game.... I have no clue how we have the record we have, I vote it’s been a weak schedule, but people love to argue that. What you can’t argue is that we aren’t a true contender.

We aren’t 1 piece away, I have no clue what you do with this team other than just watch us always lose against teams that actually matter.

3pts

killin us

[angryguy77]

If I knew they were just going to mail it in tonight I'd have sold my tickets

[slamtheking]

yup, let's keep launching quick 3's.  that'll get us back into the game

rinse and repeat
