Why exactly did we draft Nesmith if we're not going to play him? We're really playing Edwards over him right now?

. He’s a rookie.  He’s not ready

Sadiq Bey:  hold my beer

Bane: hold mine too!

Danny your bench sucks.

It's not the bench. It's the effort. The Celtics saw a bad team on the schedule and didn't want to play NBA basketball tonight. the "energy" Scal was talking about with the Pistons is not abnormal. You have to have some barebones level of exertion to win an NBA game. They don't want to do that right now, and are embarrassing themselves.

They are an unlikable team.

I cringe everytime Teague drives to the basket.

bey on the season i sshooting 38% from 3 point land. he has scored 20 points once this season, before tonight.

sometimes things like this happen. look at semi.

Every single thing we do is one-on-one.  This is just bad offensive basketball.

A G-league team could beat the Celtics right now. Any pro can hit wide open shots against a club that doesn't care.

And playing at a snails pace...

[radiohead]

Zero ball movement tonight and it’s crazy coming from last night’s performance. Any updates on Semi?

Yep. Virtually the exact opposite of how we played last night. Seems like they think they can just beat Detroit by playing halr-effort.

Scal: “pick up the pace”

Hmm might want to bench Teague then...

[jpotter33]

Nice Teague and Theis!

Teague has had several of his usual bad plays, but it does seem he's *starting* to get more aggressive. And that's been his whole problem all season. He hasn't been aggressive and has seemingly lost his confidence. But he's getting into great spots in the lane, just not capitalizing on them due to being timid.

[Atzar]

FINALLY somebody went out and made a play for a teammate.  And it was the much-maligned Teague that did it, lol. 

[Kuberski33]

Tatum and Jaylen go one vs one, the other 3 guys watch. This team sucks.

[Scottiej23]

Not much out of Pritchard tonight.

[Atzar]

That should be a flagrant.  Jackson whacked him right in the face.
