Celtics (6-7) at Cavaliers (9-5) Game #14 11/15/21

I’m losing faith in Payton.

Been saying this since halfway the season;

He's super easy to defend.
 - Defend his 3 so he has to drive
 - If your help gets there, he'll pick up the ball in the paint and be stuck there
 - He doesn't have a pullup jumper because too small
 - If he goes for a layup, time your block because he's small

He so often gets stuck in the paint. And I've been betting he wasn't played for exactly that reason.

He had a hot stretch before teams figured him out.

Unrelated; These refs are insane.

Our offence in general is easy to defend. PP would be absolutely fine under a coach with any semblance of ability to coach offence, like last season.

You talk a lot about his "hot stretch" in his rookie year. He was better in April than he was in January

My timeline might be off, but he definitely got figured out after he had a bunch of good games.

Or that's what I thought I saw happen of course. I'm unable to actually read minds, and don't have a source

He played 4 games last season where he had 30+ minutes played. Averaged 18/4/3 on 61/50/93 shooting. I reckon you might be thinking of those.

This isn't ugly...it's FUGLY.

Horford has taken 4 shots in this game. It’s a joke.

He's also played as many minutes as Tatum. Our coach is an idiot.

Smart has been doing more driving lately and looking good doing it. Wish he'd do more of that.

[Kiorrik]

Kanter can not be RWill. That wasn't on Smart. You could tell he was waiting for Kanter to GO

... but he didn't.

100% with ya. That's my Marcus.

Smart should just shoot it. Either it'll go in or Kanter will get the offensive rebound

[gouki88]

That was nice by Romeo

[mr. dee]

If Langford develops a midrange shot, he'd be an offensive threat

[footey]

good attack of the rim for the and one by Romeo. Need to see a lot more of that, especially when Tatum and Brown not on the floor.

10/10. Use Kanter to Kanter :]

[gouki88]

Valentine is such a bad player. Hard to believe he averaged 10/5/3 in his second season

[Ogaju]

Kanter?

[tstorey_97]

Horford is 11 for 46 from three for the season..

When he starts to hit, things will improve for team.

Ugh..My god Kanter... Complain on twitter about not playing and that's what you do with your minutes?
