why dont they do this all game????

It’s on Brad, too little too late per usual

Completely agree. Others may disagree, but I think this is absolutely a failure of the coaching staff to push the right buttons to get their guys to play hard and smart. That's the coaching staff's job - to manage the guys and get them motivated in these situations.

100% letting Smart, Kemba, Tatum chuck all game long. Not getting PP and Fournier involved. Not benching guys when they’re not playing hard.

6 mins of hard play at the end is so inexcusable it’s not even funny. Got to love those moral victories.

We don't even put in big men for the offensive rebound. Brad and Smart are dumb and dumber

You mean GWill doesn’t count? Lol

That's why Smart is special.

If he'd just knock off the boneheaded offensive decisions and shot selection like early in the game. This second half he has been prime Smart and excellent on both sides of the ball facilitating and defending.

But, man oh man, how frustrating is this? It's every single game - when they actually play with energy defensively and don't just chuck threes offensively, they're a really good team.
absolutley. and they also just palain missed open shots all night.

tps for eeveeryone, i dont car who wins,.

The consolation TP. I’ll still take it lol

Smart takes more than 10 shot this game (12).

According to analytics Celtics would lose.

Man, this indicator is so good. 🙂

Guys get ready to be down like 3 soon and get excited, only to blow it in crunch time.

Wrote this on page 27. That’s how predictable this is!

yeah I had it in the 1st half as well. I knew the big comeback that just comes up short was coming. And Smart has twice as many shots as Fournier who shot 50%. Pritchard also shot 50%...

Eh. It's on the players, imo. These aren't little leaguers or high schools athletes. These are grown men, legitimate multimillionaires who need to stop being coddled so much. They show these glimpses where they're capable of playing at a high level, they're making a choice not to do it all game long. As some point, we have to take off the kid gloves and hold them accountable.
