Lakers (23-26) at Celtics (35-15) Game #51 1/28/23

Shooting 3-16 for 18% from 3…this is going to be one of those games where we have to win ugly. Thankfully the Fakers are shooting even worse 3-17 for 17%

[jpotter33]

One thing is for sure, Joe isn't getting the most out of our talent.

Agreed. Not even arguable really.

That might be because his offensive philosophy hinges on taking and making tons of threes, with no real backup plan outside of our stars iso'ing and making plays for others.

And that doesn't even touch the inept defensive decisions.

[ozgod]

JAylen 4-5 from 2 and 1-6 from 3

[jpotter33]

I'm sorry, but is it not abundantly clear that Joe's entire three point heavy offensive philosophy is bunk at this point? The only reason it worked in the first stretch of the season was many guys shooting over their heads. Since then, we've been pedestrian at best.

Now the Jays - particularly JB - have terrible habits of chucking bad, contested threes numerous times a game.

Frustrating given how easily many of our guys can get to the rim, too.

great followup by White

serious question: can anyone decipher the c’s offensive strategy? it’s so clunky and inefficient, i honesty cannot determine what they’re “attempting” to do.

[SCeltic34]

Talk about low IQ plays.  Why is GWill bringing the ball up?

shoot as many 3's as possible

we really have no true PG that can run an offensive set -- not that Joe seems to have one in his playbook

[jpotter33]

The guys are just going through the motions out there getting outworked by the Lakers and just throwing up bad jumper after bad jumper.

At this point, it's hard to know whether they're already tuning out Joe, or if this is literally the offense he wants and just thinks the shots will eventually fall. We look terrible.

[ozgod]

Not one of Jaylens better halves even though he’s got 13

[blink]

Oh for gods sake refs. Davis acted like he was shot out of a cannon.  That was embellishment

[Silas]

Now the refs are screwing up big time.  Grant was not out of bounds.

[jpotter33]

And we're getting screwed by the refs, too. GWill clearly wasn't out.

[Neurotic Guy]

Never have understood why when a guy throws the ball off someone’s leg that that is a kicked ball.

Nope.
