Celtics (7-7) at Hawks (6-9) Game #15 11/17/21

Other than Josh Richardson, 47 minutes of bench play, 0-9, 0-5 from three, ZERO points.

That’s the loss right there.

This equates to a 5 man bench group going out for a nine minute stretch and not scoring a single point.

Think about that people.

We took more 3s than the Hawks. Coach thinks we can shoot better than we can.

Yeah...Pritchard, Nesmith and Romeo have all fallen off a cliff.

Part of why trading JB won't work.

Don't give away good parts when you need good parts. That's like swapping good for good. Your other guys will still be useless.

This is also my pickle with trading Smart. Smart's not the problem. Extended bench is. Smart's GREAT to have off the bench on a championship team.

I don't have an issue with guys 11-15 not being good. They usually aren't. And in the playoffs, they won't be playing.

But they have to show that every once in a while when the team is down 2-3 top guys that they can contribute something...anything ...but this deep bench group has given this team next to nothing, absolutely nothing, all year when called on.

Ime says we have "Quality shooters". Were are they?

On the bright side, the Lakers lost too

I wonder whose losing streak will end first- the C's or the Lakers

Bridge year for sure

sincere question: bridge to what exactly? with the current roster, coach, and O/D strategy, it seems like it’s a several year bridge.

Only Romy is any good. But that's fine.

Rotting in the bench, unable to get rhythm because of our putrid offensive schemes.

Bridge year for sure

The bridge to nowhere!

i guess that 'we're better without JB, we'll be fine while he is out' take didn't go so well....

I don't think this is even a .500 team.

I don't think you are wrong, but not many teams will play plus .500 ball down two starters..

we were missing a good 35 points from our roster tonight, if someone, anyone doesn't step up how can you win?

Fair enough assessment. They are struggling to stay near .500 so far as it is.
