Celtics (16-17) at Timberwolves (15-17) Game #34 12/27/21

[Silas]

Another tough loss.  This team is missing something big time. 

[blink]

PP and JB are shooting most of our shots and they are shooting 33% from the field.
we aren't beating anyone with that shooting

[Silas]

At least Payton had a pretty good game.

[HankYee]

Same team as last year.
Unwatchable.

[Silas]

Tough to watch these games.

Horrific, embarrassing loss.  I’ll keep watching, but this is last year revisited.  I thought it would be different. But it isn’t.  I’m on board with major changes. This team’s got nothing.

Yeah, this was really bad - possibly the worst loss of the season based on talent disparity (of which Minny had almost none). No reason Jaylen Brown shouldn't have completely lit this game up.

was thinking the same thing about Jaylen when the game started.  total misuse of JB --> should have made him the focus of scoring, not ball distribution.  didn't help that this whole team was laying brick tonight in terms of opening up the lane for drives but JB's strengths are as a scorer/finisher rather than a ball distributor

I think this is totally on Ime being hard headed. I mean, it’s ok to preach ball movement and all, but sometimes you just gotta give the ball to your stud and just get out of the way. there must be some sort of balance. I honestly thought JB would go for 40 tonight. Then again, JB played lousy tonight instead of stepping up.

He was good till he got tired. He did have to play a lot of minutes.

Fire Udoka. Trade everyone. This team is unwatchable.

[Silas]

Good night guys.

[showtime]

brown doesnt impact the game...just gets his points and disappears.

Excatly!

Heart!

Romeo sucked big time on offense -31.

everyone but Al and GWill sucked big time on offense

[Somebody]

Just awful basketball.

[blink]

well there is time in my life I will never get back.
really poor game, not much to like about this game.
We seemed to have control until the last part of the 3rd...then just total collapse.

it wasn't one player either, our def started giving up some tough made shots, and we just let them get more confidence than we should have.
couldn't hit a barn, bad end to the game.

[slamtheking]

At least Payton had a pretty good game.

huh?  8-22 isn't a good game.  8 Rebs and 6 asst are nice to get but he needs to hit shots at a much better rate than that to help this team
