Tatum needed to go and take that ball back from Horford.

Why are you expecting Horford to create his own shot from the 22 feet on the sideline off the dribble against the shot clock?

That mismatch with Maxey is only in Horford's favour if Horford is close to the basket.

Tatum left Horford out to dry there.

Maxey is 6'2" and maybe 200 pounds. Al has enough skill to back him down and force a double at the very least.

Yeah, give Horford the ball 10-15 feet out and let him do it.

Do not give him the ball 22 feet out against the shot clock and ask him to do it. Horford is not that skilled.

Joe has ruined Timelord, as well. He looks basically invisible out there defensively.

Brad will be like "because Joe didn't get a full offseason to work with the team, it's not right to just terminate him. I'll keep him for another 2-3 years"

Actually, they should try posting up Maxey more often.

Maxey can't guard Horford. He can't guard Tatum. He can't guard Jaylen. He can't guard Smart.

Why not post up those guys when he switches onto them? Take some easy post ups.

If we lose this series, Brogdon may not be back next year.

This is worse than the bucks game last season in game 5. Celtics at least played hard in that game.

And I don't see anyway possible Tatum going off for 40 plus in game 6 in philly like he did last season to save their season.

16-20 FTA

That is surprising. Felt like they missed more.

LOOK WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T PLAY THE STUPID DROP COVERAGE, GUYS!

It's completely frustrating that our coaching staff is just so incompetent that they can't even recognize how awful this drop coverage is against this team.

Can we play with some defensive effort and urgency in the second half? Please…

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

well we seemed to sleepwalk through the whole 1st half.
I guess it is now or never.   Do something in the 2nd, or go back to Philly in that huge hole.
