Stupid end to the quarter leading to energy for the Knicks and lackluster start for us. Ridiculous.

Need some energy guys off the bench. Let Nesmith play.

Ya this is classic Celtics trap. they score a bunch largely because they hit a bunch of jumpers. The jumpers stop falling, because the team is bad at shooting. The other team gets rebounds and gets out in transition to score. Celtics get down on themselves, everything falls apart.

We'll see if they break the cycle this game.

Edit: Or maybe they'll just hit every three this game. Probably not a long term workable strategy but all these 3-30, 4-40 games hve to balance out eventually.

Of all the things people harp on this season, no one seems to talk about Al's 3 point shooting. He's 28% on this season. For a pick & pop big that's supposed space the floor, that's problematic.

He’s been settling for the 3 way too much. Coach’s instructions maybe?

Better to be lucky than good!

Smart called it.

Good 8-0 run to counter, though still relying heavily on the three.
