Celtics (19-18) at Rockets (11-25) Game #38 3/14/21

[Phantom255x]

An 11-25 Houston team. Celtics will probably still give up 130+ to them tonight at this rate

Celtics are winning 124-109 book it

I know its the Rockets, but you can't just come out with the mentality that you don't need to play D.

Porter Jr is really talented. 

and he was acquired for nothing.

[SCeltic34]

Even this terrible Houston squad is making a mockery of our defense.  I hope once Smart is fully up to speed we're going to see the last of the Theis + Thompson starting combo.

[liam]

Jaylen getting some calls tonight. He has to keep taking it to the rack.

I know the C’s avoid guys with character issues, but man..He’s super young, give him a shot and see if he learned from his mistake. If not, cut him.

I'll predict the C's win 123-112

[liam]

Terrible call...

[jpotter33]

I like Smart's demeanor since coming back.

Oh no no no! Didn't you hear? We have Javonte Green, Carsen Edwards and others on the team already. No space for Porter on this team

Yeah, he was a risk worth taking.

This team's disconnect all year has been the defense.

We've seen Brad try all sorts of different combos and rotations and nothing is working. Is it the lack of practice? The condensed schedule? Lack of leadership on the floor? Lack of cohesion due to injuries? Or just effort?

Stevens is known for defensive squads. Not sure I have ever seen one of his teams just not give it everything on that side of the ball for as long as this team has, but that's what is happening right now.

Kemba and Jaylen just keep coughing it up...

[slamtheking]

absolutely hate that offense.  Smart had a nice easy 12 footer and he throw it out for a 3.  hate that with a passion
