Hawks (29-31) at Celtics (36-27) Game #64 3/1/22

Young is trying to switch off of White and onto Smart. Tells you all you need to know.

[jpotter33]

Terrible half. Sloppy offense and passing, and lack of energy D. Need to come out with more energy in the third.

[liam]

The Heart and soul needs to get his head out of his butt in the second half.

[Chief]

Post Trey up...make him work on defense

Start Nesmith in the 2nd half and give him no one that can't post him.

Need a 20+ point second half out of Tatum. Still don’t understand why Ime doesn’t have Smart and White go at Young. He can’t guard anyone. Same goes for Gallinari... Force mismatches and try to take advantage. They just use the same Strategy every game.

[celticsclay]

Gold star I don’t get why we are not doing that either.

That would require in game coaching.

Ime doesn’t understand offense. That’s why.

Despite Marcus and his horrendous turnovers - dumb, reckless basketball - the Celts did score 51 for the half, plenty to be right in the game or leading. So ............. what happened to our clamp-down "elite" defense ?

Kinda ironic that today's ESPN NBA page, the Celtics got the big headline,
 "How the Boston Celtics vaulted back into championship contention with the NBA's best defense. 

This team is so frustrating.

Another terrible half of basketball by this team. I realize Brown is unfortunately out, but messy and lazy on both ends. I can't even a picture a 3 going in for the Cs anymore. And on the flip side, I am genuinely surprised when the opponent misses a 3. And for the love of god, please stop with the turnovers.

Smart can't defend Tre...

[todd_days_41]

We look completely gassed. Almost as if we were using a playoff rotation through February.

Get some g-leaguers in there!

They might actually hit a jump-shot

Gimme

Get Hauser in there. Is Ryan dressed?

The article should have come the Tuesday before All-Star break. The Cs have been plain awful since that loss to the Pistons going into the break. I don't see any way we actually get out of the 1st round, but I want to have the worst pick/highest seed possible since we traded yet another draft choice away.
