Nesmith was open Theis should have passed

Yup

[ozgod]

Tatum ball...looks very similar to Atlanta game

It’s the same time too...start of the 4th when Tatum is the only scoring threat on the floor

[GreenWarrior]

We deserve to lose this game.

Why?

Because the jump shots. It's why we lose.

[jpotter33]

Brad going to wait until we give up the lead before calling a timeout and trying to get us a good look.

EDIT: Nope, just until it was a five point game 

[liam]

Tatum is not handling the double team well.

[RJ87]

Have you  noticed that when Payton and Jayson are on the floor together like now Jayson never passes the ball to Payton instead he plays point guard and doesn’t pass it to anyone

Payton started the season almost exclusively playing off ball next to either Teague or Smart, so I him being off ball seems part of the game plan by Stevens and not some evil plot by Tatum.

Why?

I mean, I'm not privy to the gameplan. But it appears Brad wants PP next to another ball-handler to relieve pressure and there also appears to be an overall plan to develop Tatum as a point forward. But I can't say for sure. But next time I talk to Brad, I'll ask him.

[SparzWizard]

What a sorry excuse of a team lol.

This is on Brad Stevens

[esel1000]

It’s unreal we get burned every single time we double, yet we can never find the open man when Tatum is doubled?

[Chief]

PP running the offense while Tatum stands at half court.

[Alec14]

Theis jacking up 3s with wide open shooters waiting. Wow.

[mr. dee]

I don't get why Brad is not doubling down on Kemba and Brown until the Pels can no longer catch up.

[hpantazo]

Celtics have to move the ball faster on offense, particularly Tatum.

Brad likes to keep it close.

If we had vets in the team they would not be afraid telling Tatum when he’s wrong.

And once again Stevens with too late TO
