Celtics (15-16) at Hawks (13-18) Game #32 2/24/21

[Ogaju]

Is it any surprise that we have only 56 points? If Jayson Tatum and Jaylen are both struggling who the hell else is going to score.

Semi, Nesmith, PMP

This is the kind of game Larry Bird would get 20 rebounds.
...not because ALT is a bad team; but because there is no way LB would let the Celtics lose two in a row.

Our young leaders lack that kind of demeanor/resolve.

This is not on Brad.

WOW SEE THAT EVERYBODY!

Hawks have a 23 point lead, it gets cut to 18 and they call a timeout.

Brad Stevens can take some notes here  (remember the Pelicans game)

This. Was about to post the exact same thing.

Not sure what's changed, but for once they're at least attacking the basket regularly.

Young is just walking to the rim!!!!

[JBJT619]

BRAD, put Waters on Young!!! Please. Why won't he try it? Teague is not the answer.

Because Waters isn't a good defender and is literally completely unproven. Why would you combat Trae Young with somebody who is shorter than him lol? He's already eating against much better defenders

Or maybe they're not quite as good as everyone assumes them to be.

Waters is a very good defender who is quick with good hands. WAY better than Teague.

Waters named first-team All-SEC, Defensive Player of the Year.

C's up 20: lead evaporates in 3 minutes

C's down 20: stays that way

Brad must like the iso because they are not changing it.

BS has to watch Talladega nights to channel Lucious and stop being a Glenn.

Maybe I’m a masochist at this point but I’m rooting for Gallinari to break the 3 pt record.

Would be the perfect slap in the face

Yep, possibly over paid

Despite what people believe on this thread, when you have zero shooters around Brown and Tatum they will collapse every time the Js trying to get to the rim.
Then when the Js kick it if the players spotting up aren't shooting/shooters and they can't create the ball/get good shots they'll just swing it back to the Js. This then leads to the Js getting the ball and needing to consistently force up terrible shots.
The effect of personnel is huge. It should be unspoken that the players on the court are just as valuable as the coach lol
