We need one more pure scorer to space the floor more

Morey knew it and picked up two great three point marksmen in Curry and Green.

Thanks for Teague Danny

Oh my Timelord!

But yet another bad shot by Tatum. Granted, it was end of the shotclock, but still that's a failure on our part that that's the shot we get.

Yeah we basically futzed away the first 18 seconds lazily passing around the top of the perimeter with no direction until he “had” to take that shot.

I’d have been benched by my 8th grade coach if we tried that crap.

would like to see Nesmith get a few shots to see if he can make the contribution we were hoping for when he was drafted

or ONE SHOT!!!!

This team is soft, especially when it matters most in the fourth.

Eerily same feeling as Kyrie's second season here in 2018-2019. Just not an enjoyable team and they clearly don't look like they really like playing with each other.

It has not been fun watching them. I don’t know if they don’t like playing with each other but the chemistry/fluidity is whack.

I remember a hallmark of all our championship groups through the years was their ability to turn the screws defensively in the 4th quarter and separate  themselves from the opponent. I miss knowing we always had that ability when we needed it to win games.

I remember that

Horford,  Crowder,  Smart, AB provided stellar/lockdown team D

I was kinda thinking of Russell & KC, Cowens & Silas & Chaney, McHale & Parish & DJ, Garnett & Perk & Rondo (when he use to care about defense).

[CF033]

We have to face up to the fact that this Celts team is somewhere in the middle to back of the pack in the East this year. I don't know if Smart coming back will help to change that but that's where we seem to be now.

That would require someone ANYONE to actually pass him the ball.

Tatum Brown with poor body language

just look lifeless

Please don't choke this game away

sick of Gary Washburn intellectual mocking questions

[GreenCoffeeBean]

Look at Dallas’ roster. You’re telling me this Celtics team is worse than that? Something is wrong and needs to change ASAP.

[hwangjini_1]

the celtics need to finally play aggressive and consistent defense to win this. they can do it.

[cltc5]

Doncic is so good

[ozgod]

Silly from Tatum

[tenn_smoothie]

But now we get to watch Dallas separate from us in the 4th quarter.

[jpotter33]

Tatum is really frustrating to watch lately. Just really bad decision-making and shot selection.

[cltc5]

What the heck why is Thompson in
