Ugh, Kanter just hasn't seemed to be himself lately.

It doesn't seem to be an injury, so I'm really not sure what it is
I'm bitter.

Wow....what a barrage of bad shots by the Celtics to close the quarter

Rondo and Kuzma killed our bench.

Wanamaker and Kanter come in and we look outmatched automatically.

This seems to happen a lot with Wanamaker.

Yep. Bench comes in and the scoring dries. Shocking...

That lineup is legitimately worthless if Hayward isn't running the show.

There are no words for how bad Kanter was the last two minutes. Unplayable bad. Every bad play he had a hand in.

Poor sequence for Kanter.  He's struggled ever since that hip injury.

Jesus Smart.  These are some f'ing terrible shots.

He was planning to do that the whole possession  (which is why he missed)
I'm bitter.

Our bench looked like they were simulating the developmental league. Horrible.

Scoring was not good; defense and rebounding were atrocious.

Not exactly sure what kind of lineup that was, Brad, or why we only played Tatum 6 minutes in that quarter when we're down Kemba. Gave up 8 points with the craptastic lineup.

I'd say they wouldve fine if Hayward touched the ball. Its when Hayward plays with Wanamaker that he rarely touches the ball.
