[ETNCeltics]

Sigh. Getting humiliated. Last few weeks we don't even look as good as last year's team.

Really haven't since Christmas Day.

opponent doesn’t seem to matter; same result game after game. soft defense leads to >60% fg by the opposition and hero ball on offense leads to poor shots and anemic scoring. lather, rinse, repeat.

the rest of the nba has enough tape on this c’s team and made adjustments, which is why everything now seems so difficult for this team after it seemed to be clicking early in the season. halfway into the season and we know who this team is and it’s not good.

[blink]

that lineup out there right now is too small to compete with the Bucks.
You can't have Grant Williams be the biggest guy on the court against the bucks with Giannis. 

We are getting physically dominated out there.

[Sophomore]

Wonder if we’ll get to double digits on our 3-point %age.

Currently 7.7%.

[Atzar]

We aren’t competitive here lately.  This isn’t what these guys are paid to put on the court.

We need some kind of an offense and some kind of a defense.

[Jiri Welsch]

Wow we suck. Someone said this last night, but at least our huge shortcomings are getting exposed before the Trade Deadline.

What a pathetic performance. Makes me embarrassed that I care more about the team than the guys out there.

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.

Yes you can. But you need to have everything running smoothly. AKA the Pistons of the 2000s. It is possible but all things must be checked. If even 1 guy is out, no way it happens.

At least we can get to see why Semi is apparently an NBA quality talent with his defence on Giannis.

This is a game Kemba should be more aggressive ! Be a leader! Not defer to Tatum

We dont have a reliable shooter. A coach wont change that.
