Celtics (46-21) at Hawks (34-33) Game #68 3/11/23

[SCeltic34]

Bey is really hurting us.  We're fortunate the 3 ball is falling this game.

What is that, 4 missed layups for JT? This guy is scared of contact...

Yeah, the player 5th in overall free throws attempted this season is definitely scared of contact

[jpotter33]

Good timeout, Joe. Did not like our attention to detail.

Can we stop the rolling the ball up the floor, especially in this kind of scenario? Feels like we're just perpetuating the strategy of "not losing the lead" philosophy that is so horrible to finish games with.

Smart simply does not make enough "winning plays" anymore in these games. White and Brogdon should both be playing more tbh

Smart is always searching out the highlight play... It's exhausting.

And when the refs aren't calling it as regularly, Tatum misses many bunnies as he's not going strong and finishing through. Most people can see that.

It ruins our pace.


RUN RUN RUN!!!

This is the first game of the road trip yet it’s basically a pick up game. My guess 3-3 heading back to Boston.

[Phantom255x]

We miss Timelord big time, on the boards and his defense

[liam]

Get Smart out, please!

[Goldstar88]

Need to pick up the defensive intensity. Come on guys.

[Phantom255x]

GET SMART OUT OF THERE AND PUT WHITE BACK IN

[Silas]

Time to put White in for Smart.

[jpotter33]

Good Lord, Smart. Stop forcing that crap. Get White back in there, Joe.

Also - this small lineup is killing us. Not sure what the answer is without Timelord, but man they're killing us on the boards giving how tiny we are.

His shooting percentage inside the paint remains strong

[jpotter33]

That ball was out on Trae, but Smart hit his hand lol Not sure if it's enough to call a foul there on the review, but that was definitely out of bounds on Trae.
