Celtics (15-15) at Mavericks (13-15) Game #31 2/23/21

This offense is truly unbearable at times. You get glimpses of the ball movement and team ball that we need, then Tatum comes back down and does an iso, pull-up three where nobody else touches the ball.

Man this 3rd Q is ugly.

This game is a fight to the bottom.

Celtics look like a tired team who know they are not good enough to win a title. That has been the expectation since the 2018 run to the ECF when Tatum and Brown, as very young players, performed beyond expectations and put the Celts back into the contender conversation for the first time since the Garnett era. Then - the last two seasons ended in disappointment with Irving's meltdown, the unexpected exits of Horford and Hayward and the awful loss to Miami in last year's playoffs. Morale and confidence has taken a hit. Seems they have to work much harder now for wins and maybe the voice of Brad Stevens has grown stale. It can be difficult to grind out wins when the players (along with the GM) don't believe they can reach their ultimate goal anymore and are not sure how to get there.

twice in a row tatum goes iso. he needs to pass the ball more.

Theis is one of the team's most consistent defensive players.

[jpotter33]

At least TT is playing hard.

[liam]

Kemba, Kemba, Kemba....

[blink]

i like the effort from TT to find those off rebounds, but just get the ball out once you get it
brown was open, make the easy pass

[slamtheking]

TT thinking he's some sort of gifted offensive player the past couple of minutes

[tenn_smoothie]

Good Gawd, Cauley-Stein looks like a freak show at the carnival.

[PAOBoston]

Doncic is a great passer

[esel1000]

Serious question does TT know how to pass once he gets an offensive board?

[tstorey_97]

Thompson wants to win
