Expect rob Williams to be benched next game since he’s doing well ::)

Pritchard never gets in in the 3rd when he’s shooting 100%

It’s pretty obvious we lack depth and talent. I don’t know why would anyone suggest that Teague should start let alone be our savior.

With this lineup Brown should be touching the ball on every possession.

that is why he makes the big bucks I can ejoy the game without breaking down what the other team is doing, but IF there is a pattern of a team getting run over every 3rd quarter after playing well in the frst half there is a strong probability that they are not adjusting to the other team's adjustments or energy.


if you can't point to specific adjustments brad could have made why are you so confident that it's the coach and not the players?

the same players that played well in the first half? It could be but that is for the coach to fix. If they are tired then you get them t obe more fit. If they come out lethargic get them to play with more energy.. It is ultimately a coahing issue because the players have displayed their ability in the forst half.


To be honest with you I don't think it's as simple as either players or coach -- it's both.


What the bad third quarters say to me is that the other team is consistently figuring out how to break down this Celts' defense and stymie the Celts offense by the time the third quarter comes around.

I think that's an indictment of the system the team is running, but it's also a commentary on the lack of talent that the coaching staff is working with.


The Celts present problems that other teams are finding ways to solve.  Great teams present unsolvable problems.
You’ll have to excuse my lengthiness—the reason I dread writing letters is because I am so apt to get to slinging wisdom & forget to let up. Thus much precious time is lost.

Cheap ass foul.

We’re is Pritchard? He hasn’t missed in this game and he doesn’t come into a 3rd quarter we’re you can’t score?
Yeah, classic Stevens rotation. Guy is scorching hot in the 1st half so naturally Brad benches him. Shocking coaching

Apparently Brad still can’t figure out the third quarter woes, eh?
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

I don’t why Teague is playing in front of Pritchard in this game. I guess Brad doesn’t believe in the hot hand.

Pritchard's going to make it difficult for Brad not to play him a lot more
