That's probably it. Happy this team fought back, but ultimately the poor start early hurt them. And their defense in the 4th has been bad.

Alright, this one's over, I'm out. Boston shot itself out of this game early, got back into it only because of Kemba, played sucky 3pt defense all game. Shot themselves in the foot way more than they shot the ball in the hoop.

48.5% versus 23%. sigh.

Even though it was the starters tonight who were primarily responsible for getting us in a hole we couldn't climb out of, I still think the biggest issue for us is bench depth.

The injuries are getting to be really frustrating. Hard for the guys to be consistent when it seems like they're playing with different guys every single night due to injuries.

  • It's not hard to work hard.
kind of sucks how much of your nba fate is dependent on how much you & your opponents' 3p% fluctuates night to night

Rebounding, lack of first half effort, foul shooting. On a positive note Theis brings it every night. Not always great but brings it every night.

I agree.  I don't care for the 3 ball era.

The C's had their chances. But 7-30 from behind the arc just isn't going to win you many games especially when the other team is shooting like 50% from behind the arc.

I understand we didn't have Tatum or Kanter, but we just beat a better team in ORL the other night without Tatum, Kanter, and Brown. It's great that we didn't completely crap the bed in the 2nd half, but this wasn't exactly a moral victory. Even if the Cs weren't on our side tonight, this was a disappointing effort by the Cs tonight.

pretty disappointing 4th quarter.  fight your way back in it, and then just start taking a lot of bad 3's, and just lazy def
