Celtics (25-25) at Pelicans (18-30) Game #51 1/29/22

[pokeKingCurtis]

Not completely his fault, but once Schroder came in we immediately became terrible offensively.  Zone giving us fits again.  Why is it that we can't figure it out over the entire season?

He’s played like a zombie lately. I think he knows he’s about to get traded.

Looking More and more likely. Was the 6th man for us and now getting spot minutes

Smart minutes were pretty good last night vs Atl

So here's a thing;

Rob's the difference maker here.

With him in, the Pels would drive in, and either get their shot blocked, their shot affected, or they see Rob and quietly dribble back out again.

Rob rotating well too. Defense looked amazing (until the last 2 seconds for that possession)

Feels like we're spamming that spurs hammer play a lot lol. Was a surprise play for the Spurs but feels like we run it every few possessions.

Pritchard is just glued to that bench.

Rob with 10 reb and 2 blocks in 13:27 min....0 TOs

Trade deadline can't get here fast enough.  Sick of the 4 minute droughts with Richardson, Dennis in the game.  Zero spacing and shooting.  The other team goes to a zone and the cs can't score.

The rotation recoveries on defense have been solid for the whole team tonight. If it weren’t for some bonehead plays on offense they would be blowing them out.

It's exhausting!

The starters had positive +/- at the end of the 3rd quarter with Schroder, Grant, and Richardson having double digit negatives. They didn’t pull their weight on a night when Tatum was off on the road.

Make that 9 reb.  They took one away.

[pokeKingCurtis]

Smart is playing really well at point

It's just that bench Minutes are disastrous

To be exaCt everyone smart defended had zero points last night vs the Hawks. Unreal

Seems like a guy you'd want out there against a zone.
