[blink]

so how are we doing?  just started watching the game stream

[slamtheking]

glad to see Hauser hit one

[SCeltic34]

Tatum comes back in and we right the ship.  MVP level stuff.

[RJ87]

So basically we can't rest Tatum tonight.

Not good so far, playing down to our opponent.  Still cold from 3 despite getting some good wide open looks.  Overall bad defense, gave up a few too many offensive rebounds.

based on that first quarter, apparently not.  team was a defensive sieve with him out.

[Silas]

No D tonight.

[jpotter33]

Tatum really is the difference in the offense.

[Yuckabuck33]

Kornet is worthless tonight

[RJ87]

Kornet is worthless tonight

He's really overhelping and leaving guys wide open.

[slamtheking]

team has really struggled since the 'tier 2' guys haven't been producing -- White, Brogdon, GWill, Al, Kornet and Hauser just aren't contributing nearly as much as they did the first month when Boston got off to that great start.   Team needs to figure out how to get them back on track

[SCeltic34]

This is really just a sad effort.  3 Celtics just standing around while Dort gets two offensive rebounds.

[jpotter33]

Getting outhustled.

[SCeltic34]

I'll just say it.  OKC is better coached than we are.  Better ball movement, and especially better man movement.  Simple basketball.

Put in some deep bench guys who really want to play.
